Seasonality [Abstract]
Seasonality	Note 2. Seasonality The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with over 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to September each year, which is the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has historically relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are government institutions, which tend to pay accounts receivable more slowly than commercial customers. The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs, and stocking inventory.

The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with over 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to September each year, which is the Company’s peak season.
