Which code does this activity belong in?
Furniture merchant wholesalers distribute furniture of all types, including household, office, outdoor, religious, and public building furniture, as well as mattresses. The boundary with home furnishing merchant wholesalers reflects a distinction between furniture itself and the decorative textiles, window treatments, and accessories that complement furnishings; establishments primarily wholesaling the latter are classified in Home Furnishing Merchant Wholesalers, while those handling the structural pieces and beds belong in this code.
