I'm rather proud of 'em, really. Maybe it's the start of a trend. You can always count on FBNers to be well ahead of the pack:

The largest U.S. home furniture maker said Friday it would not sell its products on the Internet and wouldn't do business with any company that didn't have a real showroom. The maker of Broyhill, Lane and Thomasville furniture said online retailers aren't always committed to customer service.

"We will not be doing business with 'virtual' retailers whose sole channel of distribution is the Internet, or who have established only a token retail presence to support an operation whose primary distribution channel is the Internet," Mickey Holliman, chairman, president, and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"We believe the integrity of our strong brand names can only be maintained by the traditional retailer who has a demonstrated commitment to customer service," he said.

We think of them as a kind of sister company, though they probably don't think of us that way.
