Stickley Furniture

What Stickley Furniture does

Stickley Furniture, operating as L. & J.G. Stickley, is a 125-year-old American premium furniture manufacturer founded in 1901 by the Stickley brothers and headquartered in Manlius, New York. The company produces solid wood and upholstered furniture across more than 15 distinct collections spanning Arts & Crafts (Mission, Highlands, Harvey Ellis), contemporary (Saranac, Hudson Valley, Walnut Grove, Park Slope), entry-level (Origins by Stickley, Nichols & Stone by Stickley), and premium upholstery lines (Stickley Fine Upholstery, Stickley Fine Leather). Over 90% of production occurs in company-owned facilities in Manlius, NY and Archdale, NC, employing more than 1,000 skilled craftspeople who execute time-honored techniques including mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-carving, dovetailing, and hand-applied finishes on FSC-approved quartersawn white oak, cherry, and American black walnut. Product pricing spans roughly $500 to over $10,000 per piece, with White Glove Delivery offered at a flat $299 rate across the continental United States.

The company distributes through a hybrid model: a DTC e-commerce site (stickley.com), company-operated showrooms, and a network of authorized dealers who provide final-mile White Glove Delivery. The customer base is anchored by affluent individual homeowners seeking heirloom-quality American-made furniture, with secondary segments in the interior design trade (via the "To the Trade" program) and contract/hospitality buyers. Revenue mechanics are one-time purchase transactions with no subscription or recurring component. The business has remained family-owned throughout its history, transitioning from the Stickley family to Alfred and Aminy Audi in the 1970s, who rescued and revived the brand and continue to operate it as a privately held entity with no outside equity investment. The company differentiates on craftsmanship heritage, sustainability credentials (FSC timberlands, LWG-certified leather, Sustainable Furnishings Council membership), and signature construction details such as hardware-free drawer boxes and deep bevels that competitors cannot easily replicate at scale.
