Which statement best captures the impact of the Industrial Revolution on furniture production?

It introduced mass production, standardized sizes, machine-assisted shaping, and expanded access via department stores.

It preserved traditional craft methods with limited consumer access.

It emphasized exclusively hand-crafted bespoke pieces.

Industrialization changed furniture production by shifting from artisanal, individual-crafted pieces to factory-based, mass-produced items with standardized sizes and machine-assisted shaping, reaching a much wider audience through department stores and catalogs. This transformation means furniture became more affordable and consistently built, not unique, hand-made objects. The other descriptions emphasize strictly traditional crafts or bespoke work, which doesn’t reflect the era’s broad move toward repeatable production and expanding consumer access.

It rejected any form of standardized sizing in favor of bespoke orders.
