A place where furniture is sold in bulk to furniture retailers or other large commercial purchasers.
A furniture wholesaler is a place where furniture retailers or other large-scale commercial purchasers buy furniture in bulk, usually for resale at a higher price to their own customers.
The furniture is supplied to professional buyers. Resale is usual, but a large purchaser can also be furnishing its own commercial or institutional premises.
A furniture retailer supplies individual retail customers. A manufacturing workshop makes the goods, while the wholesaler supplies furniture through commercial transactions.
