Skyline Furniture

What Skyline Furniture does

Skyline Furniture is a third-generation, family-owned upholstered furniture manufacturer founded in 1946 and headquartered in Thornton, Illinois, in the south suburbs of Chicago. The company designs and produces made-to-order custom bedroom, dining, accent seating, bench/ottoman, office, and pillow products, offering an extensive matrix of customizable fabrics and finishes from an in-house library built on 80 years of design archives. In 2016, Skyline became the first company to digitally print textiles in-house, a capability the company describes as unrivaled in the industry and that supports rapid customization at scale. Manufacturing is vertically integrated in Illinois, with materials sourced across the United States and finished goods shipped nationwide via UPS, FedEx, and LTL carriers.

The business operates three commercial channels: B2B wholesale through more than 20 major retail partners spanning mass-market (Target), premium home furnishings (Pottery Barn, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Design Within Reach), e-commerce (Wayfair, One Kings Lane, Lulu and Georgia, Joss and Main, Birch Lane, AllModern), and traditional furniture retail (Rooms To Go, Raymour and Flanigan, Bloomingdales); a Trade Loyalty Program targeting interior designers, decorators, and design firms with exclusive pricing, tax-exempt checkout, and dedicated support; and direct-to-consumer e-commerce through skylinefurnituremfg.com and the sister brand clothandco.skylinefurnituremfg.com. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of customized furniture, supplemented by licensed design collaborations under the Cloth & Company design house, which has produced collections with Rifle Paper Co., Stoffer Home, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As of 2025, the company employs over 400 people, is led by CEO Meganne Wecker (third-generation), and is expanding manufacturing capacity with a new woodshop facility.
