Burglars hit Sigla Furniture showroom in High Point

Loss estimated at $38,000

Thomas Russell -- Furniture Today, January 21, 2010

HIGH POINT — Sigla Furniture President Ben Bakian said his showroom here was broken into sometime over the past two weeks, resulting in an estimated $38,000 loss in furniture, computers and other office equipment.

Bakian said he came to visit the 112 S. Elm St. showroom from California earlier this week and immediately noticed that some barstools were missing at the lunch counter.

When he went to the second floor, he saw that some glass was broken near the entrance to the patio area and that phone lines and a security system had been tampered with. Computers, printers, a vacuum cleaner and other office equipment were missing.

Bakian said that 27 barstools and 38 lounge chairs also were missing. They had a wholesale value of about $28,000. He filed a report with the High Point Police Department, which is investigating the incident.

Bakian said he intended to show many of these samples at the Feb 1-5 Las Vegas Market. He is having some of those pieces redone at his Los Angeles-area factory in time for the show.
