Thomasville Furniture
Thomasville Furniture Industries entered the first decade of the 20th century as the fledgling Thomasville Chair Company in a bustling railroad-side community in the triad area of North Carolina, near High Point, the furniture capital. Founded in 1904, it was just one of many chair manufacturers scattered throughout North Carolina. It turned out 180 chairs a day and owed two local timber farmers, T.J. Finch and his brother C.F. Finch, $2,000 for lumber.
Today, Thomasville Furniture Industries is a full-line furniture manufacturer with dedicated galleries in more than 400 leading independent retail furniture stores. Additionally, there are over 160 Thomasville Home Furnishing stores which carry only Thomasville products.
In October 2007, Ed Teplitz was named as CEO of Thomasville, replacing Nancy Webster, who had served in that post since August 2005.
Thomasville Cabinetry, sold at retail by Home Depot, is made by Kemper Cabinets, a unit of MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc., owned by Fortune Brands.
The corporate offices and showrooms are still located along the railroad tracks in Thomasville, NC, but most manufacturing has been transferred to China.
The famous Big Chair, an 18-foot reproduction of a Duncan Phyfe design (first erected in 1922 and rebuilt in 1951) still stands in the town square as a symbol of the mutual success of a now famous chair company - and the town that cherishes its nickname, "Chair City".
As with most established brands, Thomasville gives you plenty of choice to customize when it comes to upholstered furniture with hundreds of fabrics to choose from. This could be too much of a good thing, because while it may sound good to be able to select from such a wide range, it can turn out to be a bewildering experience if you don't prepare for it in advance. It helps if you have narrowed your choices down to just a few colors, textures or patterns before you visit your local retailer or view fabric choices online.
Thomasville furniture can be bought from the company's 150 stores, or from any of the retailers who carry this brand. Thomasville sells directly online to customers only in selected cities.
