"It was a busy week at the Ukrainian Furniture Pavilion during the Las Vegas Market. Our companies found new customers who ordered, pre-ordered and booked mixed containers.
The show reinforced our view that US retailers will increasingly turn to Ukrainian home furnishings for great style and quality materials at reasonable prices.

We continue to be impressed by the generosity of spirit store buyers and interior designers who stopped by to show their support our war efforts. Many were surprised to hear that the Ukrainian furniture industry is going strong, with lead times of 5 weeks, and so fashion forward!
