In a world where profits come before anything else and products are made from cheap, sub-standard or worse, fake materials, people have begun to value real, all-wood, custom-designed finished furniture. It's one of the few quality products that has never lost its appeal. And let's face it... box furniture may have pieces customers like, but they rarely come in the quality, size, style and finishes that meet a customer's "just right" needs. The fact there there are only about 600 unfinished retail outlets in the U.S. means that the potential market is wide open for the first-time business owner who wants to be his own boss.
