When Southern Lifestyles moved to Canal St. you have to wonder why they just didn't shut the door then. It should have been obvious to management that they weren't going to sell very much furniture from catalogs. If that were the case, all furniture retail stores would be closed and sales would be exclusively via the Internet. Now having said that, I wonder what the industry stats are for Internet sales of furniture?
