Toronto Closes with High Point Close at Hand

As the Toronto Furniture Market closes we reflect on the opportunity to see many of our retail an design partners again. The market itself was moderately attended, but many of those accounts that trekked through the snow were here to write orders. We appreciate their business and the opportunity to show more of our products on their sales floors throughout Canada.

Looking forward, West Bros is excited to crank it all up again at the High Point Furniture market in April - the undesputed `Queen` of all of the furniture markets. We will be introducing a new bedroom group, so stay tuned- it is going to be different than anything we`ve produced before.

Although it was our intention to take more photos of our visitors, we did manage to snap a fewfaces when allowed:
