The furniture industry is dominated by big brand names like La Z Boy, Ashley, and Ethan Allen. With big names such as these, it is hard for a lesser-known furniture company to keep afloat. But, contrary to popular belief, brand isn’t everything and a small manufacturer can produce quality furniture at an extremely competitive price. Best Home Furnishings is one of these small companies that clawed their way up and is giving the big dogs a run for their money.
Ernest Prechtel and Clem Lange founded best Chairs in 1962 in Indiana. The founders started out by repairing old furniture and reupholstering truck seats. By March of the following year, they were able to add three other workers to their payroll. And just five years after that in 1968 Best Chairs employed 17 people and produced 60-120 chairs per day in 325 different fabrics.
In 1988, Clem Lange bought out his co-founder, Ernest Prechtel, and Best Chairs has been owned by the Lange family ever since. Best Chairs continued to grow decade after decade and in 2004 Best Chairs announced that they would now be called Best Home Furnishings after adding stationary sofas and tables to their product line. Best Home Furnishings now employs over a thousand people and has multiple plants in Indiana.
Being a family owned business, Best Home Furnishings is dedicated to quality. Their products are durable as attractive and comfortable. Many frame styles and fabrics are available to suit any taste.
If you or someone you know is very tall and has a hard time finding a recliner that fits, then Best has a solution for you.
