LaZBoy

La-Z-Boy Incorporated, commonly known as La-Z-Boy, is an American furniture manufacturer best known for its reclining chairs. The company produces upholstered living room furniture, including recliners, sofas, loveseats, chairs, and home theater seating, along with related upholstery and accessories. It markets through a network of La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries showrooms and independent retailers, and it sells directly to consumers through e-commerce.

La-Z-Boy was founded in 1927 in Monroe, Michigan by Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker. The founders designed and built a wood-framed reclining chair with a mechanism of their own invention; a successful prototype led to the creation of the La-Z-Boy brand. The name is derived from the informal term "lazy boy" and was adopted as the brand in the ensuing years.

The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LZB. It operates manufacturing facilities in the United States and abroad, with distribution centers to support U.S. and international sales. La-Z-Boy has grown through internal development and, over the years, has acquired or licensed additional upholstery lines and benefited from the broader U.S. furniture market.

It maintains a focus on comfort, durability, and value, aiming to offer versatile seating solutions for living rooms and home theaters. As of the latest reports, La-Z-Boy continues to be a leading name in the recliner category, while expanding its product portfolio to include stationary sofas, sectionals, and casual furniture. The company emphasizes sustainability and corporate governance in its operations.
