LeBron James, not usually associated with the bench, will venture into a new furniture line that could sell benches and other furniture products. Darren Rovell of CNBC.com reports that Columbus-based American Signature -- which operates under the brand name Value City Furniture in the Cleveland area -- will go ahead with its plans this fall to begin selling children's furniture items inspired by James.
