How the list was compiled
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, June 2, 2003
Furniture/Today's exclusive survey of Canada's top furniture and bedding resources ranks companies whose primary business is the making and/or marketing of household furniture and bedding. Total revenues, given only for Dorel, include those of company divisions not based in Canada.
Revenue estimates are based on the 12 months ended Dec. 31 unless otherwise indicated.
The ranking is based on information obtained from public company filings, company statements and discussions with industry analysts. All sales and revenue figures, with the exception of those supplied by publicly held companies that break out line-of-business sales for household furniture and bedding, are Furniture/Today market research estimates.
Some revenue figures have been converted using Revenue Canada's official U.S. dollar exchange rage of 1.5703 for 2002 and 1.5484 for 2001.
The ranking was compiled by Canadian Correspondent Michael J. Knell, who wrote the stories, and by Director of Market Research Kay Anderson and Research Specialist Dana French.
