The home furnishings industry's premier furniture trade publication established in 1870, FURNITURE WORLD provides a cost effective way to reach our extensive retail subscriber base in the US and Canada.

FURNITURE WORLD was founded in 1870 by several prominent home furnishings retailers. It is the oldest continuously published trade publication in the United States. FURNITURE WORLD also established the Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library in High Point NC, now a public foundation, which contains over 8,000 books on furniture and design dating from 1620.

FURNITURE WORLD is designed to achieve long shelf life and maximum response (via our reader service card and direct inquiry) for advertisers who are manufacturers of home furnishings products and suppliers of services to home furnishings retailers.

FURNITURE WORLD is read, not skimmed. That is why the magazine appeals to its target readers who are the owners, managers and buyers in retail furniture stores. These executives are looking for ways to market their products better and create store operating efficiencies.

Stretch a bit more and picture a 150 year old mews, a stone’s throw from Elora, Ontario’s historic grist mill, transformed a couple of decades ago into an up-market hostelry. Originally crafted by Scottish stonemasons, the limestone mews now surrounds a cobblestone courtyard fringed by an attractive and eclectic handful of shops, boutiques and studios. Karger Gallery occupies a dominant position, curving around the end of the mews. Enter at peril of your pocketbook! ...
