The vast majority of British kitchen, bathroom and bedroom furniture manufacturers believe that the problem of product supply either shows no signs of improvement or is getting worse.

A recent survey conducted by KBB Review on British kitchen, bathroom and bedroom furniture vendors showed that 54% of the interviewed companies said that the supply problem is getting worse, while 38% said that the problem may remain the same.

Stuart Parry from Purple Kitchens in Liverpool described the supply problem as "very scary."

He said: "Now inventory management has become an impossible task." As demand continues to grow, there is no sign that the situation will get better, it's just worse. What' s worse is that no one can give a definite answer.

Justin Bullock, co-owner of another furniture vendor, Tap End, also thinks this situation is a "nightmare."

“In the past two weeks, our communication with suppliers has become more and more difficult, not better. The inventory levels are now worse than at any time during the COVID-19 period. Some of our suppliers have taken steps to shut down their phones or In the voice mail, they said that their office is reducing manpower, so they only answer calls at a fixed time every day or every week."

Jamie Abbott, Uform’ s national contract sales manager, warned that he believes things will get worse before they get better.

"This is when I think things will turn around," he said. "The supply chain is now close to collapse. If you look at the present, the demand for furniture above the sky continues until the end of this year, and the kitchen and bathroom bedroom market will continue to face supply issues."

"The supply of raw materials will still be a serious problem, and the situation will not get better in the next 6 to 12 months."
