Columbus Day Sale

Columbus Day 2010 celebrates arrival of the Christopher Columbus in the year 1492 on continent of America. Christopher Columbus landed on island in Caribbean on 12th October, 1492. Columbus Day is celebrated on second Monday in the month of October.

Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1906, and became a federal holiday in 1937. However, people have celebrated Columbus' voyage since the colonial period. In 1792, New York City and other U.S. cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the four hundredth anniversary, in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets and politicians used Columbus Day rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic rituals were framed around themes such as support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress.

Since 1971, the holiday has been fixed to the second Monday in October, coincidentally the same day as Thanksgiving in neighboring Canada (which was fixed to that date in 1959). It is generally observed today by banks, the bond market, the U.S. Postal Service and other federal agencies, most state government offices, and some school districts. Some businesses and some stock exchanges remain open, also some states and municipalities abstain from observing the holiday.

In order to celebrate the Columbus Day, Furniture XO will take an extra 7% off select furniture as part of our Columbus Day Sale. Use coupon code "COLUMBUS" on orders over $100.

Furniture Sales are Going Strong!

Furniture industry sales momentum continued in September, posting a 12 percent increase from the same month a year ago. Strong consumer demand drove retail sales up 23 percent year over year.

Furniture Brands International, Inc. is trading at $5.48 with 25 percent increase from August; La-Z-Boy Incorporated is $8.37 with 14 percent increase; and even though IKEA is a privately held company, the world’s top furniture retailer posted record sales in its most recent fiscal year. Chief Executive Mikael Ohlsson told Dagens Industri turnover in its fiscal year, which ended Aug. 31 rose to 23.1 billion euro, up some 7.7 percent from the previous period.

We are admittedly never completely satisfied. But it was much better than we had expected and a much better outcome keeping in mind the extremely tough business climate in many markets,” Ohlsson told the paper.

Ohlsson said IKEA wanted to grow further in Russia and China, and is keen to push into markets in South Korea and India.

This is great news for Furniture XO because we deal directly with over 45 furniture manufacturing companies. Better sales performance means a lot for our consumers because most manufacturers would offer better discounts that we pass on to you.

More and more shoppers are feeling comfortable to buy furniture online. Regardless of bad economy in the past few years, online consumer volume is up over 23 percent just within the furniture related sectors. Here is one of the testimonials we recently received from one of our Furniture XO customers:

“Just wanted to e-mail back and say that this is the first time that we ordered a piece of furniture like this online and didn’t have any issues. We had concerns at first, but not anymore. This was a very smooth process and the product is fantastic and was shipped and packaged perfectly. We really appreciate that, we would definitely buy from you again in the future.

Labor Day Furniture Deals

Labor Day Weekend – after many hot dogs, picnic baskets, fireworks, and family gatherings, for some that are looking to renovate and perhaps replace their rooms and things, September is a perfect month! Many furniture stores will be offering deals on their inventory. But, why is this holiday so closely related to the furniture industry?

The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civil significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday proceeding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

Traditionally, Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. Originally, the first day of school was also considered the first true Labor Day, and used to begin on the 1st of September in most states. However, because of the weekends, many schools have adopted different dates for the first day of school since 1968.

Furniture City: Grand Rapids, Michigan

During the second half of the 19th century, Grand Rapids became a major lumbering center and the premier furniture manufacturing city of the United States. For this reason it was nicknamed "Furniture City". After an international exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, Grand Rapids became recognized worldwide as a leader in the production of fine furniture. National home furnishing markets were held in Grand Rapids for about 75 years, concluding in the 1960s. Today, Grand Rapids is considered a world leader in the production of office furniture.

At Furniture XO, we are proud to take part in this great American Labor Day tradition of celebrating the workers that make all this possible. We have selected hundreds of new items to be available for sale during this event.

Establish a budget - and stick to it.

Credit should not be used to live beyond your means. Creating a budget may not sound like fun, but it is vital to staying out of debt.

Your 0% interest has a deadline of up to 12 months. If you plan accordingly and split your purchase into 12 monthly payments, you should have no problems with pesky credit card fees.

Be informed before you buy.

If you are buying furniture for your dorm room, it is recommended to measure your rooms and hallways and make sure your furniture can fit. Most furniture companies will charge you a restocking fee of up to 30% of your purchase total to cover their shipping costs.Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our furniture ordering options.

Plan your shopping.

You should shop around for the best deals on anything you will need to purchase while at school. It is also a great practice to compile a "wishlist" for all the items that you may need to purchase and buy everything from one website at one time. Most online stores would be glad to offer some sort of discount for volume orders. When shopping at Furniture XO, you may qualify for many volume order discount programs, including our location based discount.
Be considerate of your roommate, and perhaps you can split the bill.
Dorm living can prove challenging, especially the living-with-strangers part. But take it from those who have gone before: there are stylish ways to divide the space without being divisive, and it doesn't have to cost a lot. Consider shopping for furniture together. It may not only prove to be a rewarding bonding experience, but save you half the budget.
