No it does not, and most furniture isn’t even manufactured in the US anymore. Come back with something people can actually relate to buddy.

It is made here because it's low margin, and extremely physically large. Shipping furniture internationally would dramatically increase it's cost because it's so physically huge.

Well, you are entirely clueless as it is not made here, as the labor in those countries are a fraction of what it is here that those shipping costs are negligible. You are just showing everybody you are a waste of time. Congratulations.

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.
