What's wrong with our furniture stores?

Abstract

The retail furniture business, which should be an exciting fashion industry, is stuck in a rut, according to our contributor. It badly needs a new approach to design and merchandising; the opportunities are there, but retailers seem nervous of grasping them. The second part of this feature describes how Coles of Bilston turned their discount warehouse into a shopping pleasure.
