Also, Lane made some pretty poor quality furniture. [/quote] Yeahhhh enjoy that used sofa soaked full of cooties. Death-couch, :damned: [/quote] I'm just saying, hotels buy a lot of furniture. Do you think they care if you get cooties? They will steam clean it. Hotel furniture is used by many many people before you check in. :) Don't bring your CSI blacklight or you may not want to stay there. :) [/quote] Chain hotels aren't buying furniture from Craigslist. Chain hotels are buying furniture in bulk, so each room has the same furniture. The next time you stay at a hotel, or even a motel, you'll notice all the rooms have exactly the same furniture. Most furniture from the deceased, ends up on a street corner, or in a land fill, because nobody wants a used couch with stained cushions. [/quote]
Original Message
I'm in the furniture industry. LANE furniture, that has been around for close to 100 years, closed abruptly. This is one of the top 2 biggest furniture manufactures in the United States. They sent an email out to all employees 2 days ago terminating them effective immediately.
More than 2500 employees out of work right before the holidays.
