The self-proclaimed furniture capital of the world (High Point, North Carolina) has just concluded its spring Furniture Market.
It's actually mind-boggling to think about the money that passes hands here in a week. If you haven't experienced a furniture market, maybe you should come with me next October. It really is something.
The entire city revolves around the furniture industry. There are thousands and thousands (maybe millions?) of square feet of furniture showrooms and they are used primarily twice a year - a week in April and a week in October. They are vacant the rest of the year.
I neglected to take some pictures of our Mr Brown showroom (which was beautiful, but the same look as the last three shows), but here are some lovely iPhone pics of our Julian Chichester showroom.
But I have to admit that to me, the best part about the High Point Market concluding is going home!
