Honoring American Workmanship - Lee Industries

In my quest for great heirloom quality upholstered pieces, I have a set of "go-by's" that help me determine whether a particular piece is worth the expense and effort to reupholster.  This is an important question in this age of mostly-imported furniture that is readily available to the American consumer and often at a pretty cheap price. As I often tell people who ask for this advice - do not spend the money on fabric and upholstering labor unless you know the piece warrants the expense - and YOU appreciate the difference.

Lee Industries Chairs and Ottoman in Robert Allen Fabric - link to my website - also available on Etsy and eBay!

One sure way to tell if a particular piece is worth redoing is to look at the label.  If it has a well-known USA furniture label like Lee Industries, you cannot go wrong - link to company website.  Located in Newton, North Carolina, Lee Industries uses top-notch manufacturing standards and produces exceptional furniture STILL MADE IN THE USA!  They are also dedicated to green/eco-friendly design standards and proudly promote their support for environmental sustainability.

I only have one set of chairs (plus ottoman) that are Lee Industry pieces in my current inventory but have had quite a few over the years.  I wish I could find many more!
