Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business or chances of winning.
Nancy Rondina is the mompreneur and inventor behind Furniture Soxâ„¢. Furniture Soxâ„¢ are tiny, fashionable cotton socks that fit on the end of your furniture legs to protect your floors from getting scratched.
Ever had the felt pads come off your chair legs and your floors get scratched before you know it? This is what kept happening at Nancy's house. She came up with the totally unique idea out of her own genuine need. With an active family, her hardwood floors kept getting scratched, especially by chairs and barstools and the solutions that were available at the time just weren't working.
Furniture Soxâ„¢ solves this common problem. They have the unique feature of rubber grips on the inside to keep the Sox from slipping off as well as a chic design that adds glamour to any room while protecting hardwood, bamboo, laminate and tile. Now that's some well dressed furniture!

Furniture Sox, LLC is truly a family affair at the Rondina home. Nancy collaborates with her Interior Designer husband on the Sox designs and the children have contributed to the business with their creative ideas from day one. "What a great experience for kids to see and be a part of the development of a business from one simple idea" says Nancy.
This is what America is all about....Innovation.

Furniture Sox, LLC is a home-based manufacturing, sales and distribution company. The first prototype was handmade at home and Furniture Sox, LLC launched their products in 2007 on the website http://www.FurnitureSox.com. The home-based business has since been growing and profitable.
With the recent transition from "boutique packaging" to their all new mass market packaging, Furniture Soxâ„¢ will soon be available at retail stores everywhere.
In April 2008, Furniture Soxâ„¢ were seen on "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch". We love "Uncle Donny's" inspiration!

"I have always wanted to start my own home-based business from scratch, from my own unique idea and feel honored to be in such respected company as with my fellow contestants." says Nancy.
Floor protection is our "niche, niche, niche". Please vote, vote, vote for us.
We should be considered as a winner because at Furniture Sox, LLC we are totally unique, passionate, innovative, home-based and customer service oriented through and through.
Thanks a million for considering our company for the Top 100 Home-Based Competition!
