One of the most popular furniture brands we sell at Lansing Furniture is called England. England may not be as well known as La Z Boy, Flexsteel, or Ashley, but England has it’s own characteristics that make it stick out from the rest of the pack. England provides attractive, quality furniture at a surprisingly low price.
A father, son, and uncle founded England in 1964. In 1974, England broke the industry shipping mold by delivering their products after just two weeks instead of the standard 6-12 weeks. England continued to grow throughout the 1970s and by the 1980s its number of employees grew from three to 200 employees. In 1984 England received the prestigious “Entrepreneurial Company of the Year” award. England was purchased by La Z Boy in 1994 but continues under its own name.
England has some great perks that other furniture companies do not. If you like the frame style of a sofa but don’t like the fabric you can pick a different fabric and have your new sofa in as little as two and a half to three weeks! England also has a fantastic cushion core warranty. Have you ever purchased a sofa and your cushions started to break down and lose their shape shortly after your purchase? What did the company do to fix it? Most furniture companies only have one year or five-year cushion core warranties so if you’re past that timeline you’re stuck with lumpy cushions. England has a 10-year cushion core warranty so you won’t have to worry about your cushions disintegrating and being stuck with it. Here at Lansing Furniture, we don’t get a lot of warranty claims on England furniture, but on the occasions that we do we have no problems receiving replacement cushions from England as long as the piece was purchased within the 10 year timeframe.

England is a well-kept secret in the furniture business, but word of mouth has and will continue to let it grow.
