Abstract: Therefore, the main objective of the study was to examine the effect of reverse storage constraints on the performance of imported furniture distributing firms in Nairobi County. The Inventory theory and Theory of Constraints guided the study. This study adopted the descriptive Survey research design targeting 130 managers drawn from 26 Imported Furniture Distributing Firms in Nairobi County. Simple random sampling technique was used to obtain a sample size of 83 respondents to be used in this study. The study used both primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by administering questionnaires to the respondents in the companies while secondary data was obtained from the firms’ inventory records. Data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The study established that reverse storage constraints significantly affected the performance of imported furniture distributing firms and most of the firms did not have enough storage space for reversed products. The study recommends that the firms create enough storage space for reversed products. Lastly, the firms should make every effort to create departments dedicated to reverse inventories.
