Robert Downey Jr. is best known for his performance as billionaire inventor Tony Stark aka Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He played the character in 2008's Iron Man, the first installment in what would become one of the most popular (and profitable) movie franchises ever. The actor bid farewell to the role when Avengers: Endgame hit theaters in 2019.  He walked away with a $75 million paycheck but fans still wonder if Downey Jr. will ever return to the MCU. While Marvel Studios continues to make superhero movies, we're taking a look back at the 55-year-old actor's time in the MCU. Specifically, the period Downey Jr. spent filming Captain America: Civil War.  'Captain America: Civil War' premiered in 2016 Captain America actor Chris Evans and Downey Jr. teamed up in Captain America: Civil War. While the actors are good friends in real life, their characters go head-to-head in the movie. Hitting theaters in May 2016, Capt...

I've always been fascinated by the so-called law of unintended consequences. Often applied to economics, it's the principle that when a solution is put in place to solve Circumstance A, it can inadvertently cause Circumstance B. A good example of this is the current situation involving unemployment benefits in the United States. As part of a federal pandemic relief package, laid-off workers can receive their normal state unemployment benefits plus a $600-a-week bonus. There's no doubt that this is helping millions of Americans weather the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. The unintended consequence is that many workers are drawing more in unemployment pay than they made on their jobs, creating a short-term disincentive to return to work. I'll let others weigh in on the "right and wrong" of this. I offer it only as a good example of an unintended consequence. Everywhere you look during this time of...

I'm sitting at my picnic table as I write this. To my back is the kitchen window. I can hear my daughter's lilting voice, but I can't quite make out the words. I hear my wife too. She's laughing. As far as distractions go, it could be far worse. And I'm feeling chill anyway. I'm working outside and that makes all the difference. Very specifically, the thing making the difference is my picnic table, the most zen piece of furniture I've ever owned. Having a picnic table in the small side yard right next to my driveway has changed my life. My house is small, with a footprint of just over 700 square feet. It has two bedrooms, one for my daughter and another for me and my wife. My "office" is in the basement, but I come up for air and grumble when there are interruptions, which has created some conflict during the pandemic. Nobody is happy with this work from home arrangement and it gets really weird when I start asking my daughter...

The $25.7 million dollar deal includes $10 million to compensate customers who paid deposits on orders that were never fulfilled.

By Keely Arthur, WRAL reporter Raleigh, N.C. — Memorial Day is traditionally a big day for retail shopping, but as stores only reopened two weeks ago ease pandemic-related restrictions were eased, business remains a bit slow as both retailers and customers continue to adjust to the new rules. "It's been a little slow over the weekend," said Kim Kyle, who run Steven Shell Furniture in Raleigh's Cameron Village shopping center. When Steven Shell Furniture reopened about a week and a half ago, Kyle said she was expecting a surge in shoppers.

To help attract shoppers, the store is holding a "Welcome Back" and Memorial Day sale, with 20 percent off the whole store. Kyle said the store also is making its safety protocols known to make customers more comfortable. ...

David Iben put it well when he said, 'Volatility is not a risk we care about. What we care about is avoiding the permanent loss of capital. So it might be obvious that you need to consider debt, when you think about how risky any given stock is, because too much debt can sink a company. We can see that Hooker Furniture Corporation (NASDAQ:HOFT) does use debt in its business. But is this debt a concern to shareholders? When Is Debt Dangerous? Debt is a tool to help businesses grow, but if a business is incapable of paying off its lenders, then it exists at their mercy. Ultimately, if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt, shareholders could walk away with nothing. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. Having said that, the most common situation is where a company manages its debt reasonably well - and to its own advantage. The first thing to do...

This year, the search for the best outdoor furniture has taken on a newfound importance. During a normal summer, a night out at a restaurant or a beach vacation were social staples. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, many of us will spend these warm-weather days at home. So sprucing up your space (whether it's a balcony, patio, rooftop, or backyard) is necessary for some fun in the sun—and, well, sanity. Let's start with the most basic of basics: a place to sit. A slingback chair is perfect for those who need something simple. They're affordable and lightweight (therefore easy to shift six feet apart). Looking to make a more permanent investment? You can't go wrong with a classic Adirondack—or a sky blue, super-plushy cushioned lounge chair. No summer night is complete without an al fresco meal, but you'll need the right dining set to make that happen. For urbanites, a bistro set is a chic and space-conscious choice. (Also, some advice: order in a pop of color,...

Considering that Jay Dillon is expanding his outdoor furniture business in the middle of a global pandemic, things are going well. Dillon's company, Yardbird, which uses repurposed plastic debris from the ocean to make the furniture, had been planning to expand from its base in Minneapolis to Denver, Kansas City and Detroit. The novel coronavirus then broke out in China and other Asian countries where the company gets about 55% of its products. As the disease spread around the world, Yardbird went from scrambling to get its goods from overseas to the prospect of having the products but little demand for them after U.S. businesses started closing. "It's nothing that we obviously chose to do," Dillon said of growing the company during a pandemic. "It felt like a roller coaster ride, at one point pushing to get the product and then saying 'No, don't get product, hold up on product,' " he added. "Ultimately it was this up, down and then ...

A private-equity firm in Texas is looking to buy the assets of 17 former Michigan locations of Art Van Furniture. (Photo: JEFFREY M. SMITH, TIMES HERALD) A private-equity firm in Texas is poised to buy 17 Michigan locations of shuttered and bankrupt Art Van Furniture and may reopen the stores under a new name and rehire some of their laid-off employees. A U.S. bankruptcy judge late last week approved the $6.9-million deal, which includes 10 additional Art Van and Levin and Wolf furniture locations outside Michigan. The sale is expected to close sometime this week and, altogether, involves the purchase of inventory and assets for 27 leased store locations in six states, according to court documents. The deal doesn't include those stores' real estate, most of which was sold off in 2017 as part of the Van Elslander family's $612.5 million sale of their metro Detroit-based furniture company to private-equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners of Boston. Several stores in the deal are ...

The ultimate talent scout, Rossana Orlandi, has run one of Europe's most important design galleries for the past 18 years. Known as Spazio Rossana Orlandi, it is here in this former tie factory in Milan where the magic operates. Always ready to take a chance on new talents, Orlandi has an eye for spotting promising young designers, having taken a risk on the likes of Piet Hein Eek, Maarten Baas and Nacho Carbonell before they became famous, helping to propel them onto the world stage. The greats such as Piero Lissoni, Alessandro Mendini, Paola Navone, Patricia Urquiola, Gaetano Pesce and Nendo have also exhibited in her gallery.

For furniture retailers, the widespread shutdowns caused by COVID-19 had initially proven disastrous. The first weeks of the pandemic saw the category suffer steep, double-digit declines as the ability to browse offline disappeared. But business didn't dry up entirely, as some of that displaced demand shifted online. Now, new April data shows just how quickly shopping for furniture online has become the new normal. According to a press release from home furnishings–focused e-commerce platform Blueport Commerce, furniture retailers on the platform (which includes members of the Furniture Today Top 100) saw their online sales increase by an average of 306% over April 2019. In fact, total sales across the platform were 81% greater than what was observed last November, a busy sales period for the furniture industry which included Black Friday, but not Cyber Monday, in 2019.
