Adventures at the Fall High Point Furniture Market

This year was my first time at the Fall High Point market, but definitely not my first time to market. You may remember that I’ve done 2 design Influencer tours in the past few years during spring and those are fun, but very fast paced. This year, I was in the market for a new sofa. The one we have is really getting uncomfortable and I’m ready to invest in a quality sofa that will hopefully last for years to come. So that was my main motivation to go, when I heard one of my local design friends, Betsy, was going to market. I asked her if I could tag along and she said sure. She rents a house in High Point and some of her design friends join her, but she had an extra room for me. We drove up to High Point and spent 4 days walking the market and let me tell you, it’s no joke. The whole town of High Point is furniture stores and the main buildings of the High Point market house hundreds of brands. Some brands have their own stores all around High Point as well. It’s the furniture mecca of the USA. It’s not open to the public, you have to be a buyer, designer, or media to go and get a badge. I’m so glad I could go as a media person and see all the sights this year.
