Discovery has been in business since 1991. They incorporated
name is Waterfall Industries, Inc. A strange sounding name for the
inquiring retailer located outside the state of Florida.
“Waterfall” was the style name of the most successful
Formica bedroom sets in Florida at the time. This style was a large
part of their sales for the first few years. In 1993 they went
after the solid wood market. They were manufacturers prior to 1998
and found that they could not provide the level of quality and
value necessary to compete with imports using domestic labor. Like
most they turned to importing but unlike wholesalers today that
merely distribute or broker products from manufactures in the Far
East, they physically assemble goods here in Florida. Their goods
do not arrive in a form that the end user or the retailer can
assemble.
Their claim to fame is providing youth loft systems, bunk beds,
beds and case goods that are not customer specific in look, are
made of solid wood and have European roller drawer glide systems.
Their core customers consist of wholesalers and large retailers
across the country. Their assembly capability enables us to react
quickly to the most challenging service aspect of the furniture
business…..parts requests. These ASTM standards are not to
be taken lightly. The educated retailer needs to stay on top of
their suppliers in this regard. They at Discovery are well educated
with the Consumer Products Safety Commission and the ASTM
standards.
