High Point Furniture

If you have ever shopped for furniture in High Point, likely, you have seen this giant chest of drawers at Furnitureland South. It is at least four stories high. As you walk under it, you realize you are in the furniture capital of the world. This 40-year-old company, one of many industry-related venues in the area, represents over 500 companies in over a million square feet of space.

There is another great giant piece of furniture on Hamilton Street. If you ever make it to Greensboro, head a few miles Southwest and and visit this furniture mecca. People who sell and buy furniture here realize the value on the local commitment to the industry. Especially during furniture market weeks, we all put our hearts and energy into this important industry. Even though the sky is a little bleak in this photo, we are posting this on Sky Watch Friday because the blog gets so many visitors from around the world on skywatch days. Thanks for looking!

Wowie zowie! When we were in Paris in 2004, the Louis Vuitton hand bag store was undergoing renovations and had built a three story replica of its signature bag and suitcase which towered over the street scene in front of the store. This reminds me of that. Very cool to see.
My parents bought a small, nicely built wooden table when they were vacationing in your area. They enjoyed it in their RV for many years and kept their canary's cage on it. I'd go nuts if I lived there, I love to look at furniture :-).

I think the bleak sky only makes this chest stand out even more!

I've never seen anything like it - at first I thought two images one over another. It is a giant chest. It is a sight we need to promote - world class!

Very interesting as this is the first time I've seen one huge chest used as entrance and facade of a building. Thanks for showing us.

OMG... That's the biggest highboy chest I've ever seen! :)

I can't even imagine such vastness, both inside and out!
