Ask any executive in the furniture industry how they characterize the operating conditions from 2005-2007 and the answer would be highly interesting. After all, housing prices went through the roof in those two years and demand to own a piece of the American Dream was feverish. The period truly defines the very essence of an economic boom, fed by the extension of cheap credit , great paydays in various industries, and of course the emboldening feel of being wealthy on paper.
