Where can I purchase furniture truely, and I mean TRUELY, from the manufacturer?
I am opening a pool room in central Florida (south Pinellas County) and need a considerable number of tall tables and bar stools. What is the name(s) and location(s) of a manufacturer that I can purchase from DIRECTLY? Please, I don’t mean some Ebay store or Factory Outlet Store. I need to the location and phone number where the furniture is actually produced. Thanks in advance for your help!

You would have to ask why a manufacturer would want to deal with you for a one-time purchase.
Most furniture these days comes from Asia, so finding a manufacturer would be difficult.
Furniture dealers are just that–dealers, just like auto dealers. You’d never be able to buy a car directly from Ford. Most furniture manufacturers have strict agreements with the dealers that they won’t undercut the dealers by going directly to the consumer. Why don’t you try negotiating with the dealer for a better discount if you’re buying such a large volume?
Keep in mind too that dealers provide service after the sale as well, such as fixing or replacing pieces that were damaged during shipment. I worked in the commercial furniture world for a few years and never came across a manufacturer that sold directly.
