Just had a look at the HUFS website and there seems to be far more emphasis on electrical and leisure goods than home furnishings.

It's very rare these days to see a TV programme where folks eat at a dining table rather than on their laps in front of the TV. The only place to see families eating together at a table is in the ads which are trying to sell a vision of happy family life.
