The storm before the calm

As a relative newcomer to the World of the Furniture Industry, there are things that continually make me laugh (and at the same time, continually make me scratch my head at exasperation). Most notably, the absolute lunacy that happens the week before each furniture market.

And since I don't quite understand it enough to put into words, it's outright impossible to explain "the insanity that IS High Point at market" to my friends.

So this market, I took photos. And remember: the furniture market (with an expected turn-out of 75,000 buyers arriving from out of town) is 2 DAYS AWAY at this point.
