Where’s My Couch? - Why the Global Supply Chain Issues Will Affect Your New Living Room

In a recent House Beautiful – Business of Home article, Kaitlin Petersen explains why it may take 6 months or more for your new sofa or other items to arrive. Here are some of the key factors causing these delays and challenging timelines:

  • When you place your order, you start at the back of the line

  • The fabric production had been disrupted

  • Wood and metal are hard to come by

  • There is still a shortage of skilled labor

  • Suppliers are rationing foam and other materials

  • Shipping and logistics are facing significant delays, and truck drivers are in short supply

We realize that it may be frustrating and hard to wait on your coveted new couch, but it’s good to understand what is happening behind the scenes. We are so grateful that you are willing to wait for the correct and perfect part of your customized design. We promise it will be worth the wait.
