NAICS 337122

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the common taxonomy federal statistical programs use to categorize business establishments for collecting, analyzing, and publishing economic data. Developed through the Economic Classification Policy Committee in coordination with Statistics Canada and Mexico’s statistical agency, NAICS replaced the Standard Industrial Classification in 1997 and is maintained on a five-year cycle, with the latest vintage being 2022. ¹
U.S. industry 337122 covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing nonupholstered wood household-type furniture and freestanding cabinets (excluding television, radio, and sewing machine cabinets). Production may be stock or custom and may be shipped assembled or as knockdown units. Federal economic datasets, including those from the Economic Census, use this definition when tabulating industry statistics. ²

What this NAICS covers

• Manufacturing of nonupholstered wood household-type furniture. ²
• Production of freestanding wood household cabinets and case goods (e.g., bookcases, wardrobes), excluding electronic and sewing machine cabinets. ²
• Stock or custom manufacturing models for residential wood furniture. ²
• Assembly and shipment of products either fully assembled or knockdown/ready-to-assemble. ²
• Wood furniture items intended for household use rather than institutional/office settings. ²
