Designing or re-decorating a house is hardly ever cheap. However, smart shoppers can get good quality home furniture even on a tight budget by looking out for factory-direct furniture, clearance sales, and online stores.
Pieces of furniture sourced directly from the manufacturer are definitely cheaper because of savings from distribution costs. Manufacturers sell furniture to retailers with mark-up prices, as any business should. Retailers add further mark-ups to profit from their own sale, and to compensate for operational costs they may have incurred to provide customers with the furniture. By skipping one intermediary - the retailer, that is - a customer can get furniture at the price offered by the manufacturers.
Furniture stores often give clearance sales, and when they do, substantial cuts are made on the original price. In such sales, stores are looking little at profiting from the furniture than clearing it from stock. There are also clearance outlets. Almost as good as factory-direct furniture, clearance furniture is usually from factory overstock, buyouts, and close-outs. Again, suppliers are looking more to clearing inventory, selling furniture at cost, allowing these specialty clearance outlets to re-sell the same at low prices.
Surfing online has also been a recent trend to get a bargain, which is no exception with furniture. Going online also makes it more convenient for shoppers to compare prices and customer reviews. Just as with furniture direct from the factory, products purchased online are cheaper because of the virtual store's savings from maintaining a physical store. Usually, online stores also source their furniture directly from the supplier and re-sell it close to the manufacturer's price.
In general, people can get cheaper prices for furniture by getting as close as they can to the manufacturer's price. Selling factory-direct home furniture is a strategy some stores use to be able to give the best prices to their customers.

This is a question many of us kick around when we are about to buy new furniture. One that can get pretty interesting once you break it down. Back in my Dad's day you could buy completely solid oak bedroom set for 199.95 retail, Bassett made the one I'm thinking of and was as recent as 1975. For a time during the 90's you'd be hard pressed to find a completely solid wood bedroom set. Even the most expensive manufacturers strategically placed MDF (maximum density fiber) board in areas of items that had very little stress placed on them to keep costs low. Today with the popularity of overseas outsourcing and its cheap labor I'm seeing a lot more solid wood (or if it's not solid it's been very well hidden), but solid "what type of wood" is the question. Well to be honest there's no telling, most manufacturers use a variety of different hard woods that will absorb stain in a similar manor. Products are still well built and will last but gone is the story of solid Ash, solid Birch, or solid maple.
So what distinguishes the different furniture producing manufacturer's and how are they similar? I can only think of one main way they are similar, most if not all have overseas plants where their items are fully manufactured or partially built and finished in the states. Where they differ is simple yet complex... Brands are broken down in to three main categories by the furniture industry. Promotional, Middle end, and High end, this is done mainly by the price of their items.
Promotional manufacturers have a very low price point in the market, some of their bedrooms suits are what we call print wood where they take a type of particle board and basically wall paper it to get the look they want. The living rooms suits are scaled down just a bit as well as less padding and wood in the areas where there is little to no stress,( usually the side panels and back of a sofa). While these products are considered promotional they hold up very well and are great starter products for young couples and kids bedrooms.
You can find a 2-pc living room suit for under 9.95 with promotional brands and a bedroom suit for under 9.95. Most of the leather upholstery are bonded leather and married to the frames and priced as low as 9.95 for a sofa.
Ashley Furniture got its start as a promotional brand and while they still have many products in the Promotional End they have crossed over into Middle End with their Millennium Collections.
Middle End is where things get interesting. The best analogy is to think of it as our Middle Class; you have low middle, middle and upper middle. All of the Middle End Manufacturers produce very good products, most of their cost saving happens in the finish process of the case goods and their upholstery cost saving comes in their simple yet popular designs and in their fabrics options.
The Low Middle Manufacturer's strongest price point is the 9.95-9.95 sofa and their bedrooms suits strength is under 99.95. Leather upholstery is typically matched or bonded and normally pricing is around 9.95 for a leather sofa. Vaughan Bassett and Ashley Furniture are a few of the Low Middle style lines but they do cross over into the Middle area.
The Middle Manufacturer's price points span from 9.95-1099.95 in their sofas and 99.95-4999.95 in their bedrooms. Here you'll find more fabric options and a bit more design in the upholstery. Some of the more popular examples in the Middle End are Broyhill Furniture, Lane Furniture, Riverside Furniture, Samuel Lawrence Furniture, Legacy Furniture, Lea Furniture and Universal Furniture.
The Upper Middle is high end for a lot of areas, prices on sofas start around 99.95 and leather sofas are All Leather ranging from 99.95 to 99.95. While a lot of the Upper Middle companies dip into the Middle areas their bedrooms suits typically run from 99.95 to 99.95. Here you have a lot of fabrics to choose from and also fringe options. Many have a Customer Own Material price where you can purchase your material elsewhere and send to the plant where they will put it on the sofa. Examples of some Upper Middle lines are Kincaid Furniture, Lexington Furniture, Stanley Furniture, American Drew Furniture, Bradington Young, Sam Moore, Hooker Furniture and Bernhardt Furniture.
High End quite honestly is an area I am still learning about, I've sat on a retail ,000.00 upholstered sofa looked at a queen size bed, wardrobe and night stand priced retail for ,000.00. The key word in High End is Custom; you have a lot of options in many of the High End lines, and I'm not just referring to the upholstery. You can customize tables, finishes, bedposts and many other items in bedroom and dining room collections. High End is all about the story, while the basic construction is the same as in the Upper Middle End, you have finishing processes that have multi steps and may be hand rubbed. The fabrics are some of the most exquisite designs and material on the market made by some of the most famed designers and the list goes on. High End Companies spare no expense to create a story that will say to their customer... You've made it... You are elite and you deserve the best of the best... And it shows in their prices. Some examples of High End lines are Century Furniture, Marge Carson, Maitland Smith Furniture and Henredon Furniture.
So back to the question we started with. Which manufacturer is best for me? Well it all depends on you, where do you fall in the areas I've discussed? You can find good quality that will last in every area and we purchase according our budget and view of what furniture is to us. I personally have an item in my home from every area except the High End and I'm sure the day will come when I will have a High End item as well... probably after marriage... I hope this has been helpful or at least interesting to read.

Lipstick, like its counterpart makeup has become something that most women cannot live without. Women have to apply "their face" before leaving their house and touch up throughout the day. As one of the most popular makeup products on the market, lipstick has had a long history of use, which has not been all good. However, overtime it has gained huge popularity for women all over the world.
The first types of lipstick were make out of crushed precious jewels, fucus-algin, iodine and bromine, and crushed carmine beetles. Mesopatamian and Egyptian women invented lipstick as a way to decorate their lips along with their faces. Although not much is known about the progression of lipstick from Cleopatra's time in 60 B.C. to the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I of England made lipstick popular through her vogue style of a pale face with reddened lips. At this time only upper class women wore red lipstick along with actors. However, rouge colored lips were not accepted by all of England's society. A movement in the 17th century headed by pastor Thomas Hall declared wearing lipstick as "the Devil's work." Women who wore lipstick were in contempt of trying to seduce men into lustful acts. Additionally, in 1770 the British Parliament passed a law against wearing lipstick, stating that women who seduced men into marrying them through their lipstick could be tried for witchcraft. When Queen Victoria took the thrown she out rightly denounced the wearing of lipstick. Lipstick was only for prostitutes, sinners and outcasts of society. England wouldn't fully accept lipstick until the early 20th century.
The first manufactured lipstick was made by a French cosmetic company, Guerlain in 1884. At this time lipstick for everyday use was still unaccepted in the US. However during the Roaring 20's actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt began to wear lipstick outside the theater. The film industry gave lipstick a new found popularity and women were expected to wear lipstick as their patriotic duty during World War I. In the 1930's the first beauty parlors were opened, where women could learn makeup tips.
Throughout time, the popularity of lipstick can be contributed to high-powered women, fashion models, or actresses. It is these women such as Queen Elizabeth I, Sarah Bernhardt, Elizabeth Arden, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor who are icons that made lipstick popular in their time. Women and teen girls idolized these women back then and the trend has continued into present day. Singers, actresses, and fashion models are adorned throughout the pages of magazines, on television and on billboards. Imitating their style, fashion and makeup is a popular technique in society.
Although, there are thousands of varieties, brands and colors of lipsticks now a days, red lipstick is still considered a sexy, luring and powerful color. However, it doesn't hold its infamous back-story of shame or prostitution. Women in the 21st century coordinate their lipstick along with their makeup to match their clothes or feelings.
So why do so many women wear lipstick? What is the obsession with painting our lips red, when our lips are naturally pink already? During sex blood rushes throughout the body causing our lips to redden. By painting our lips red or wearing lipstick, women can be more sexually appealing to the opposite sex. Additionally feeling sexy gives women power, and boosts her self-confidence. Therefore women are a sex symbol within society.
Lipstick and makeup still remains a symbol of adult sexuality. Wearing lipstick is a symbol of a woman's maturity. However the age of womanhood has been blurred over the years and there is still an objection from parents to hold off the age when girls should start wearing makeup and lipstick. Although, if you check out any high school in America there is an overwhelming abundance of teenagers wearing makeup. Additionally cosmetic companies are advertising to the younger market. This just proves that women throughout the world cannot live without their makeup and most carry it with them daily. Thus women feel naked without their lipstick.
