Kincaid Furniture Company

What Kincaid Furniture Company does

Kincaid Furniture Company, Inc. is a North Carolina-based manufacturer of residential solid wood furniture and custom upholstery, founded in 1946 and operating today as a wholly-owned subsidiary of La-Z-Boy Incorporated (NYSE: LZB). The company designs, manufactures, and markets furniture across bedroom, dining room, living room, and accent categories, organized into over 20 wood collections (e.g., Cherry Park, Plank Road, Weatherford, Cascade, Modern Classics, Monogram Walnut, Bridgetown, Elise) and an upholstery line that includes the Build Your Own customization program.

Kincaid's core technology centers on traditional wood furniture construction using genuine solid wood on all exterior panels and shaped edges, combined with time-tested joinery techniques such as English dovetails, mortise and tenon construction, floating tops and panels, and full dust proofing, plus multi-step hand-rubbed finishes sealed with lacquer. The upholstery offering integrates Crypton performance fabrics and modern features such as adjustable soft-close drawer glides. Manufacturing is anchored in a technologically upgraded upholstery facility near Taylorsville, NC, described as the most technologically advanced upholstery facility in Western North Carolina.

The business model is B2C via an authorized furniture dealer channel; Kincaid does not sell directly to consumers through e-commerce and does not publish pricing, instead directing customers to local dealers via a website dealer locator. Revenue is generated from one-time sales of wood furniture collections and build-to-order custom upholstery, with two primary customer segments being residential homeowners seeking durable solid wood furniture and custom upholstery customers seeking personalized configurations and Crypton fabric choices. The company operates primarily in the Southeast United States and is supported by the financial stability of its La-Z-Boy parent.
