Furniture makers are stopping the production of certain items because our lifestyles have changed. Flat screen televisions are prominently mounted on walls eliminating the need for entertainment centers. Since few of us buy or collect books, bookcases are less in demand. Elegant hardwood dining room sets are a legacy as many newer homes lack a formal dining room. Stately office furniture and filing cabinets are being replaced with minimalist workspace components geared toward flexible virtual offices. The message hits home when downsizing couples find there is no market for heirloom furniture. Enjoy that Lazy Boy recliner before it’s too late.
