November 2008

Taylorsville, N.C. - North Carolina based Taylor King Furniture reported favorable reviews during the recent High Point Market. The furniture manufacturer is committed to maintaining positive momentum as we enter 2009.

"Our energy at High Point was really upbeat, and we're approaching the winter season with that same level of optimism," said Taylor King President Del Starnes. "We are certainly facing some challenges in the current economy, but we're approaching every opportunity with the "can do" attitude that has defined Taylor King for more than 35 years."

Starnes said that the company is one step ahead of the value market trend and has significantly expanded the Kings Road line, setting price points certain to appeal to cost-conscious consumers. At the same time, according to Starnes, the company will continue to focus on what has traditionally defined their success -- the opulent, high-end merchandise that set the standard for customized quality throughout the furnishing industry.
