Industry Snapshot
Key metrics for the household furniture (except wood and upholstered) manufacturing industry.
Industry Definition & Overview
Household Furniture (except Wood and Upholstered) Manufacturing (NAICS 337126) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing nonupholstered household-type furniture from materials other than wood. Covered materials include metal, plastics, reed, rattan, wicker, and fiberglass. Products may feature partial upholstery, such as chairs with padded seats or backs, and may be sold assembled or in knockdown form for consumer assembly.
Product categories within this code range from metal dining sets and patio furniture to plastic outdoor chairs, fiberglass tables, and wicker or rattan seating. Some producers specialize in indoor pieces like metal bed frames, baker's racks, and hall trees, while others focus on outdoor living products designed to withstand weather exposure. Material selection drives both pricing and market positioning: metal frame furniture targets durability-focused buyers, while rattan and wicker pieces appeal to design-oriented consumers seeking natural textures.
The U.S. Census Bureau[4] classifies this code within Industry Group 33712, alongside upholstered furniture (337121) and nonupholstered wood furniture (337122). The Bureau of Labor Statistics[5] tracks employment data for the broader furniture manufacturing subsector. Concrete, ceramic, and stone furniture fall outside this code and belong to Sector 327 manufacturing classifications. Establishments must produce household-type furniture specifically; commercial or institutional pieces from non-wood materials belong to separate office and institutional furniture codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this industry.
What types of businesses fall under NAICS 337126?
NAICS 337126 covers manufacturers producing household furniture from materials other than wood, including metal, plastics, rattan, reed, wicker, and fiberglass. These range from factories making metal patio furniture sets for national home improvement retailers to smaller operations crafting wicker and rattan pieces for specialty stores. Partially upholstered items like metal-frame chairs with padded seats also qualify. The Census Bureau[4] specifies that production may be stock or custom, assembled or knockdown.
How is NAICS 337126 structured within the classification system?
NAICS 337126 belongs to Sector 33 (Manufacturing), Subsector 337 (Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing), Industry Group 33712 (Household and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing). It shares this group with 337121 (upholstered furniture), 337122 (nonupholstered wood furniture), and 337127 (institutional furniture). The key distinction is material: this code covers non-wood residential pieces. Concrete, ceramic, or stone furniture falls under Sector 327[9] manufacturing codes rather than 337126.
What is the SBA size standard for non-wood household furniture manufacturing?
The SBA size standard[6] for NAICS 337126 is 950 employees. Firms with fewer than 950 workers qualify as small businesses for federal contracting set-asides and SBA-backed lending programs. Most manufacturers in this classification operate at much smaller scales, with many employing fewer than 100 workers across fabrication, finishing, and assembly departments.
What NAICS codes are closely related to 337126?
Directly related codes include 337121 (upholstered household furniture), 337122 (nonupholstered wood household furniture), and 337127 (institutional furniture from similar non-wood materials). Office furniture codes 337214 (non-wood office furniture) and 337211[10] (wood office furniture) cover commercial rather than residential products. NAICS 332999 and 326199 cover metal and plastic component manufacturing that feeds into furniture production supply chains.
What industries are closely connected to non-wood household furniture manufacturing?
Furniture retailers (NAICS 449110) provide the primary distribution channel. Metal fabrication shops (332312) supply structural components, while plastics manufacturers (326199) provide molded parts. The Bureau of Labor Statistics[5] tracks broader furniture manufacturing employment trends that affect this subsector. Interior designers (541410) specify material and finish selections. Outdoor living product demand ties closely to residential construction and home improvement spending cycles.
What specific activities are included in NAICS 337126?
Included activities cover manufacturing metal dining furniture, bed frames, baker's racks, patio sets, and outdoor seating. Plastic furniture production spans chairs, tables, and storage units. Rattan, reed, and wicker furniture for both indoor and outdoor use qualifies. Fiberglass tables and seating are included. Partially upholstered pieces with non-wood frames, such as metal chairs with padded seats, fall within this code. Per the Census Bureau[4], both assembled and knockdown products qualify.
Can non-wood household furniture manufacturers qualify for SBA loans?
Yes. Manufacturers below the 950-employee threshold can access SBA loan programs[11] including the 7(a) program for working capital and equipment financing. The 504 program[8] supports purchasing metal fabrication equipment, powder coating lines, and factory facilities. SBA microloans help smaller specialty producers fund initial tooling and material inventory. Disaster loans apply when weather events or other emergencies damage manufacturing operations.
Where is non-wood household furniture manufacturing concentrated in the U.S.?
Production clusters follow broader furniture manufacturing patterns, with California leading in total establishment count driven by consumer market size. States with strong metal fabrication infrastructure, including Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, host notable concentrations of metal furniture producers. According to Data USA[12], the furniture manufacturing sector overall concentrates in the South and Midwest. Outdoor and patio furniture production shows particular strength in southern states where year-round outdoor living drives local demand and product testing.
