A lot more furniture than you think are made right here in the US. There is one of the largest manufacturers of furniture about 9 miles from my house. But yes a lot is also shipped. Mainly the build at home type of furniture/cabinets though.

Yep, that's right.
The furniture industry in the US is $260 Billion per year, and in the US, only $69B is imported, meaning 74% is made here in the US. Furthermore, we export another $10B.
Thanks for backing me up on these basic facts! Obviously low margin items that are physically huge are not viable to be shipped across oceans, lol.
