Things have really evolved since La-Z-Boy first introduced the recliner in 1928. Over the subsequent decades, our product line has grown to include a myriad of pieces and styles, and our brand name has become highly recognized across the country and around the globe. But throughout our history, one fact has remained constant: The La-Z-Boy brand name is synonymous with comfort and quality.
In 1927 two young cousins from Monroe, Mich. - Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker - created a wood-slat chair with a reclining back that allowed hardworking families to relax after a long day - and the world's first recliner was born! The La-Z-Boy recliner was a big hit in Monroe and soon, the nation. Over the years, La-Z-Boy has expanded beyond recliners and now offers comfortable furniture in all shapes and sizes. With factories and employees across the nation and world, this home grown family business certainly has come acomfort and quality for many more years to long way from its humble roots in a Michigan cornfield.
