Ashley Furniture to open outlet center

Posted on March 8, 2012 by FurnitureBlog

PLATTSBURGH — The owners of Ashley Furniture HomeStore plan to open a new warehouse and outlet center on Boynton Avenue in the City of Plattsburgh. Sales Manager Sam Pirofsky said they closed on the former Murnane Building Contractors facility about a month ago.

The warehouse is expected to start operation next week, and the outlet center should open in about a month.

DISCOUNTED GOODS

Ashley Furniture HomeStore Outlet will carry scratch-and-dent merchandise and overstocked goods, at discounts of 25 to 75 percent.

They expect that to be popular with students and people on a fixed income.

“We really felt there was a need for this in Plattsburgh,” Pirofsky said.

The middle of the building has been renovated from office space to about 4,000 square feet for retail. The site will feature two showrooms: one for furniture and one for bedding.

Brothers Quality Construction is doing the renovation work.

“Those guys do a very good job,” Pirofsky said.

INSIDE LOADING

The warehouse space is in a horseshoe pattern around the retail section, which measures 4,000 square feet. Much of the storage area is heated.

The warehouse area includes 13,000 square feet on the ground floor and more on a second level.

The building allows trucks to drive inside to unload.

On Wednesday afternoon, workers from PrimeLink were installing computer and security-system infrastructure. The computers will be linked to Ashley Furniture’s downtown store and also to the corporate network.

‘EXCITING’

Pirofsky said they rent warehouse space at Imperial Industrial Park, which can be a little difficult for some customers to find. The new location has very easy access from Exit 38 of Interstate 87, he said.

The final deliveries of furniture to the Imperial Industrial Park warehouse are expected to take place Friday. Delivery from the new location will likely start next week, and customers will also begin to pick up their orders there at that time.

“It’s going to be exciting when we’re ready,” Pirofsky said.

“It’s going to be a big thing.”

Case goods maker Linwood Furniture files Chapter 11

Posted on March 8, 2012 by FurnitureBlog

LINWOOD, N.C. — Case goods manufacturer Linwood Furniture, which opened in 2006 to keep production of North Carolina artist Bob Timberlake’s licensed furniture in the U.S., has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

In the March 5 filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Winston-Salem, N.C., the company lists about $3.7 million in assets – including $2.5 million worth of inventory and $719,855 in accounts receivable – and $6.9 million in debt.

Among its top creditors, Linwood lists about $2.8 million in unsecured claims, with Kepley Frank Hardwood Co. owed $774,718, followed by Columbia Panel, owed $524,570. The filing lists equity holders as Linwood Capital, owning a 60% share of the company, and Linwood Inc., owning a 40% share.

Court documents also said Jeff Schwall was being promoted to president of the company. He was named executive vice president of sales and marketing last year. Schwall said in an interview with Furniture/Today that the company plans to continue production at the facility in both residential and hospitality businesses.

The factory was built for long runs of repeat production, he said, and when new management came to the company in 2011, hospitality provided a niche to provide that volume.

“We were over our head in accepting contracts for hospitality business and we weren’t making money at it,” Schwall said. “The beauty of what we have is the made-in-America model is something everybody wants right now … but we can’t run it in this big hog and run that kind of high-volume, low-margin product anymore. We’ve having to restructure the company to be sleeker.”

Full time staff has not been affected by the move, but the company has laid off many temporary workers, he added. He added that the company’s investors encouraged it to restructure.

At its launch in 2006, Linwood was a joint venture of Kepley-Frank Hardwood Co. and Bob Timberlake Inc., with the intention of keeping production of Bob Timberlake furniture in the former Lexington Home Brands Plant No. 2 here, which Lexington had closed the previous year.
Timberlake and Century Furniture announced a licensing partnership in 2011, ending a 20-year association with Lexington. The Linwood factory still makes some Timberlake product for Century, Schwall said.

Mike Mebane continues as CEO of the company.

Dean Powell, a former Broyhill executive, was hired on the bankruptcy filing date as executive VP of operations.

Restoring a dresser

Posted on February 15, 2012 by FurnitureBlog

So you have an old dresser that is collecting dust in your garage or attic for years? Well, there are two choices for you. Either you can junk it or bring it into light and see whether you can do anything useful with it. Restoring a dresser would always be a good choice as chances are that although it may look antique or have an old look, the wood should be of great quality. When beginning to restoring a dresser, it is always better to start out smaller and then work your way up. If you don’t have an old dresser lying at home, you can even buy one at dirt cheap prices. But once restored, you can place them proudly in the best corner of your room.
Look closely for broken drawers, knobs, legs etc. If you want you can add new drawers. Clean the old polish or the chipped paint. Once all the broken parts are taken care of, you can clean it carefully to remove and particle of duct before giving it a fresh coating of paint or wood polish. Let it dry and place it in your room for use. Just watch you guests eying it with envy and guessing where you bought that gorgeous piece of furniture.
