Analysis
NAICS 337126 is the 2022 national industry for household furniture (except wood and upholstered) manufacturing, part of 33712 (Household and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing). Census lists 56 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bamboo furniture (except upholstered), household-type…, bassinets, reed and rattan, manufacturing, beds (including cabinet and folding), metal household-type… and bookcases (except wood), household-type, manufacturing, among 56 in all.
Census lists 4 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 337121, 337122, 327 and 33911. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
For example, manufacturing upholstered household-type furniture are classified in 337121 (Upholstered Household Furniture Manufacturing) instead.
County Business Patterns publishes no national count for it, either because the code is out of the survey's scope or because the figures are suppressed to protect individual businesses.
Official definition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing nonupholstered household-type furniture of materials other than wood, such as metal, plastics, reed, rattan, wicker, and fiberglass. The furniture may be partially upholstered (e.g., chairs with upholstered seats or backs), made on a stock or custom basis, and may be assembled or unassembled (i.e., knockdown).
