Hooker Furniture Corp. (HOFT) announced it has completed the acquisition of the assets of Opus Designs Furniture, LLC.
Effective today, Hooker Furniture's professional sales organization will be representing the Opus product line, and all service and operational support for the line will come from Hooker Furniture Corporation. The product will be sold under the Opus Designs brand.
The $5.1 million cash transaction is subject to a net working capital adjustment.
James Millner, who has overseen design and product development of the Opus product, will be employed by Hooker as Vice President, Merchandising & Design concentrating primarily on youth bedroom.
Marc Katzman, Opus co-founder and President-Sales, will also assist Hooker during a six month transition period.
On October 24, Hooker Furniture signed a letter of intent to purchase the assets of New York-based Opus Designs Furniture.
Wholesale Furniture Brokers is currently a client of Opus Designs but not of Hooker Furniture or any of it’s other subsidiaries. We’ll update this post if we discover that WFB will now have access to more of Hooker’s lines.

Furniture News: Furniture.com has acquired FurnitureFind.com
On Oct. 9th, 2007, Furniture.com announced that it has acquired FurnitureFind.com without disclosing terms of the deal. According to the PR, the existing customers of FurnitureFind will have their orders fulfilled. If you look on the FurnitureFind website, many of the products are showing as ‘out of stock’ so the companies are quickly switching to Furniture.com’s model of fulfilling orders through local retailers. The press release is published on FurnitureFind.com but nothing of it is mentioned at Furniture.com, not even on their press page.
Does anyone have any comments on what this means for eCommerce in the furniture industry?
Anyone want to speculate on what value FurnitureFind.com sold for?

Furniture Shoppers Want Your Opinion Online
Globe & Mail recently reported that consumers (possibly one reading this sentence) are shopping for furniture online, rather than going store-to-store in their community.
"About 38 per cent of online buyers visited more than one online store this year before making a purchase, an increase of four percentage points from 2006, the study by J.C. Williams Group found Wednesday.
The survey also showed that online buyers are early adopters of social networking such as writing or reading blogs, customer reviews, and community websites. They're more likely to share their opinions and give reviews online than people who shop the old-fashioned way."
It stands to reason that people prefer to hear opinions and information from their peers as opposed to reading a splashy sales ad from a business trying to make a sale. Wholesale Furniture Brokers has always displayed customer opinions on their furniture testimonial page and is already featuring their Furniture Review pages and look forward to sharing thoughts and opinions with their customers across North America.
