North Carolina Leads in Bedroom Furniture Output
North Carolina now produces more bedroom furniture than any state, surpassing Michigan by about 85 percent.

The shift toward the South is attributed to lower freight costs and favorable conditions, with Texas retailers noting the South’s growing manufacturing dominance and NC’s substantial annual production figures.
