La-Z-Boy Inc
La-Z-Boy makes and sells upholstered furniture for homes, with recliners as its best-known product. It also sells sofas, chairs, sectionals, and bedroom and dining room furniture. The company reaches customers through its own La-Z-Boy branded stores, other furniture retailers, and direct-to-consumer channels, so it sits between furniture manufacturers and the people furnishing their homes. The business makes money mainly by selling furniture and related home furnishings, plus the retail markup it earns in its company-owned stores. It also earns money from its wholesale relationships with independent dealers and other retail partners. That mix gives La-Z-Boy both a manufacturing role and a retail role, which is different from companies that only make furniture or only sell it. Its main customers are homeowners and apartment renters buying furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms, along with dealers and retailers that carry its brands. The company is known for recliners and comfortable seating, but its broader role is to design, make, and distribute branded home furniture that sits in the middle of the home-furnishings value chain.
