This report is a truly unique work. The Canadian Furniture Distribution System has never before been covered in its totality in one comprehensive report. The breath of the study is all embracing. It leads the reader through the entire sequence of channels, from the manufacturer to the final consumer. Producers, Importers, Exporters, Agents, Representatives, Distributors, Buying groups, Retailers and the final Consumer are given full coverage. The retail segment is segregated by kind of stores, including, independents, chain stores, department stores, galleries, and franchises. Further distinction is made by specialization, price points, geographic differences and more.

Just as a hammer is an essential tool for a carpenter, this report is an essential tool for anyone with a stake in the furniture business.

Note: This report, together with some 25 other reports is contained in the
