La-Z-Boy is best known for recliners. Over the decades, though, the company built a whole-home furniture portfolio through three heritage brands — American Drew, Hammary, and Kincaid.

Nearly a Century of American Craftsmanship
In 1927, two cousins with a simple vision changed the furniture industry forever. Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker started with orange crates and a dream to create “nature’s way of relaxing.” Their innovative wood-slat porch chair with a reclining mechanism became the foundation of what we know today as La-Z-Boy—a brand that has become synonymous with comfort, quality, and American manufacturing excellence.
What began as a contest-winning name (beating out “Sit-n-Snooze” and “Slack-Back”) has evolved into nearly 100 years of continuous innovation and craftsmanship. Today, La-Z-Boy stands as a testament to generational quality that transcends trends and outlasts cheaper alternatives.
