Analysis
NAICS 449129 is the 2022 national industry for all other home furnishings retailers, part of 44912 (Home Furnishings Retailers). Census lists 11 example activities under it in the official index.
Census lists 6 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 444180, 449110, 449121 and 449122. 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.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bath shops, chinaware stores, custom picture frame shops and glassware stores, among 11 in all.
For example, retailing new mirrored glass or lighting fixtures are classified in 444180 (Other Building Material Dealers) 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.
