Dow Jones Description

At Furniture Brands we're committed to building the most powerful company in the residential furnishings industry and in the process delivering outstanding shareholder value. We will accomplish this by creating elegant and stylish furniture, selling it in a pleasant atmosphere commensurate with the product's inherent appeal while leveraging the strength of our brand names to the maximum effect. We have long positioned ourselves as a branded consumer products company, and never in the history of our company has the strength of our brands been more important to our future. Whether the gallery format or the single-branded stores format, our brand names are the very premise upon which our distribution strategy is based. As "permanent billboards," our single-branded stores and our galleries both strengthen and gain their strength from our outstanding brands. A distribution strategy is meaningless, however, without exceptional product. To that end we are proud to employ in this company some of the most talented fashion designers in the world. We will continue to invest in research and development and most importantly in the talent to deliver to the marketplace innovative products of excellent value. Our portfolio of brands is far and away the most powerful in the industry. We believe our growing distribution network is second to none. And lastly we believe our product line is unmatched. ...
