There are many reasons for business to close. I would bet the biggest for this furniture manufacture is cost of there product. The Walmartization of the general public has made quality a low priority to the majority of the population. Most shop price only anymore. Companies are responding to that fact.
My MIL was an excellent example of this. Over the time I knew her she had four or five sets of living room furniture. She would buy the Cheaper stuff and then have to replace it in 4-5 years when it was worn out. She would give 70% of good price for junk but would not pay 100% of good price for any reason.
We are seeing the same thing in many types of businesses. One small example is Clipper finger nail clippers. They made quality clippers now you can't find their clippers anymore. I would bet that they are closed. Cheap imports replace them.
Look at lawn maintenance equipment. All of it is made of lower quality than it was 30-40 years ago. The market has driven that. John Deere is selling mowers in Home Depot because they had studies done that showed that the average Home Depot customer would not set foot inside a JD dealership even if the product was cheaper than what the box stores where selling. So while JD had the largest percentage of the premium market they had very small share of the "value/cheap" customer market. So they started making and selling cheap mowers.
We are getting what the public at large demands with their votes and buying habits. We just need to look in the mirror to see some of what is wrong.
