Furniture stores face tough time in hard times

So says the Guardian :

"Furniture retailers Sofa Workshop and Land of Leather are understood to be fighting for survival.
Sofa Workshop filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator to the com­panies court late last year. Quoted rival Land of Leather is also in a precarious position as its future hinges on gener­ating sufficient cash from its January sale, which ends next week. Industry sources claim trading has been difficult."

I've just been shopping for furniture and you start to say, hold on, do I really need to buy these chairs right now? Or those chest of drawers? Why don't I just get them on the internet ... ?!
