[quote:InTheGLPHood:MV81MjkyMTk5Xzk3NTUzNDc5X0RCOTQ1MTA3] This is sad. I feel for all the people losing their jobs. It might be rough finding another one. We had Lane furniture in the past, it is decent furniture. I have a rocker right now that I'm pretty sure was made by Lane because we bought it when we bought some end tables and they were Lane. Anyway it has removable cushions and I've had it 24 years and the fabric is still in very good condition after all these years, absolutely no tears, no stains, and it's solid wood and nothing on it has ever broke. Can't find good stuff like this too much anymore without it costing a fortune. [/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.
