Parker House to show at High Point Market

Company returns after absence of about five years

Larry Thomas -- Furniture Today, March 3, 2010

HIGH POINT — Case goods and leather upholstery resource Parker House is returning to the High Point Market in April with a 7,500-square-foot showroom in the National Furniture Mart.

The new showroom, space 701, should enable the California-based company to expand its dealer base in the eastern United States, said Parker House President Chris Lupo.

"Because our trucks are constantly flowing goods to the East, we already have the infrastructure in place to support them," he said. "Many (eastern U.S.) dealers don't go to the Las Vegas Market and it's important for these dealers to see our line, as well."

Parker House closed its former High Point showroom about five years ago, but Lupo said the recent successful introduction of the Parker Living line of leather upholstery provided the impetus to return here.

The new High Point space will feature the Parker Living line as well as the company's home office and home entertainment offerings.
