Believe it or not, a good amount of Ashley Furniture is also made in the good old USA too.
Their headquarters is in Arcadia, Wisconsin and a lot of their manufacturing/fabrication plants are located in that area.
Arcadia is about 40 miles northeast of Lacrosse, WI. and/or (depending on if your a Packer fan or a Viking fan) about 2 hours southeast of the Twin Cities.
Plus while the quality is often less than a Thomasville or a Broyhill piece, if you want something that will look good for 5 years and then you plan to replace it anyway (or have investment property to put it in), they're the way to go in my book.
We also bought a complete mahogany bedroom set a few years ago from a small retailer that is now out of business which was made in Indonesia and it is absolutely beautiful and intact some 10+ years later. Where things are made no longer matters as much as how well they're made.....think Chevy's versus Honda's!
