History and profile

[edit]

Furniture Today was started in 1976.[2] In March 2010 it was acquired by Sandow Media from Reed Business Information.[2] Its offices are in Greensboro, North Carolina.[3] In 2013, the magazine was sold to Progressive Business Media,[4] which is a daughter company of FT Media Holdings. In 2018, Progressive was acquired by BridgeTower Media.[5]

In 2006, it had a circulation of 20,682. The 2006 Marketers Resource Guide wrote that the magazine, then owned by Reed Business Information, "remains a powerful force in the furniture manufacturing industry."[6]

In 2013, the publication was bought by Greensboro, North Carolina-based Progressive Business Media.[7] In November 2018, Progressive Business Media was sold to Minneapolis, Minnesota-based BridgeTower Media, itself part of GateHouse Media, which itself was later merged and rebranded as part of the Gannett media holding company.[7][8]

The magazine is an industry publication.[9]
