Furniture World News Desk on 12/29/2014

Leggett & Platt® Consumer Products Group (CPG), the leading U.S. retail supplier of bedding products, has expanded its portfolio into the casual dining category with the introduction of a new collection of bar and counter stools. The varied assortment of 28 distinctive designs features an array of options for every décor, taste and budget.

“Consumer Products Group has long been recognized for offering fashion-forward bedding and bedroom furniture at attainable price points and we are excited to bring this same value proposition to other areas of the home,” explained Ron Ainsworth, Senior Vice President Merchandising and Procurement for CPG. “With the rise of more open floor plans, bar and counter stools are growing in popularity and taking more prominent positions in the home beyond the basement to breakfast bars, living areas and even bedroom coffee bars. This exciting expansion builds upon our legacy while meeting increasing consumer demand and preference for more casual dining furniture options.”

Designed for comfort and style with a focus on quality and value, the new bar and counter stool collection includes 26” and 30” styles ranging from classic traditional looks to sleek, modern silhouettes ideal for both formal and casual settings. Consumers can choose from among 28 designs featuring wood and metal finishes with seating options that include faux leather and fabric upholstery. Many also feature swivel seats for extra functionality.

First previewed last October at the High Point Market, the collection has received rave reviews from retailers. “Our customers are telling us that the styles in this collection are truly unique and different than anything else they’ve seen in the marketplace,” noted Ainsworth.

The full line of bar and counter stools will be on display in the CPG showroom (Space # B1326) at the Winter Market in Las Vegas. For more information, visit www.lpcgp.com.
