When the Titanic goes down, you try to save as many people as you can. We used to be a 100 percent domestic producer and we were a financial disaster. Now we are importing and I'd put our financial health up against anyone.

Lexington and Bob Timberlake have a long-term agreement for the future to design, market and produce furniture. There is no plan to discontinue the original line from production and offering to the consumer.

It's not very often in your career when you get to see the passions and the vision and the values of people coming together in one place. I think they will do things here a lot different than has ever been done before.

We will be making the World of Bob Timberlake line domestically this year, probably even in the first half. It's possible that the production will be in Davidson County, but I can't say that definitively today.
