Fortunately, transportation costs may reverse that direction.

Vietnam is the assembly plant labor choice of nations worldwide these days, Mexico and China are outsourcing in mass to their the last 2 years.

Isn't Bob's Furniture all made over there? IKEA definitely is.

And as Spence says, it's not meant to last more the 3-5 years at best.

Funny you say that. I was talking to a few guys there in a group and that exact subject was brought up, guy said he's starting to see more guys open production up again down in NC and SC where it was really big at one time. I view this as good news.

Spoke with a guy in Buffalo about a bandsaw yesterday and he said that people are moving furniture production back here to the USA!!! Good for us, I believe that if we apply the Japanese principles that they learned from Americans after WWII we can build a better product and deliver it to market at a lower total cost faster with higher quality than they can make it overseas.
