Furniture Buying Index drops to 56

The Furniture Buying Index fell three points this month to a reading of 56, according to America’s Research Group. The index is compiled each month by America’s Research Group from interviews with 5,000 to 8,000 consumers across the U.S.
In a typical month, 80 percent of the consumers interviewed can name a specific furniture item they intend to buy. The index’s mark signifies what percent of the benchmark 80 percent actually have a particular item or furniture trend in mind.
