Attendance at the High Point Market that concluded earlier this month was off slightly from last fall’s market, according to figures released today by the High Point Market Authority.

A total of 83,974 furniture industry professionals received attendance credentials through the market’s central registration system. Last fall, 84,976 badges were issued.
