The main items produced were living room furniture, dining room furniture, seating furniture (chairs, sofas) as well as cabinets and chests of drawers – mostly made of solid wood (mainly pine and birch), typical for the Småland region.

From the 1970s and 80s onwards, the furniture industry in Virserum shrank sharply due to global competition, rationalisation and centralisation of production.
