NEW YORK, N.Y. — FURNISH, the Ultimate Home Furnishings Buyer's Guide, a newsstand magazine for consumers, will be launched in May by Sandow Media, parent company to Casual Living,  Furniture/Today and other leading home publications.

"FURNISH is an unprecedented way for home furnishings companies to cost-effectively connect with consumers," said Kevin Castellani, vice president and publishing director for the group. "FURNISH will have a circulation of 160,000, distributed at newsstands and book stores across the country."

Sections in the magazine will be devoted to individual product classifications, taking a lifestyle approach to the categories, and include: Sit, Sleep, Lounge, Eat & Drink,  Work, Entertain, Grow & Play, See, Feel, Relax and Embellish.

The magazine will also feature a section on home product trends for summer and fall, as well as consumer buying tips to help shoppers make informed purchasing decisions.
