Overview

Not to be confused with Laura Ashley, this Ashley is more interested in peddling leather, hardwood, and bedding than toile and chenille. Ashley Furniture Industries, one of the nation's largest furniture manufacturers, makes and imports upholstered furniture, as well as leather and hardwood pieces. It has manufacturing plants and distribution centers throughout the country and overseas. Ashley licenses its name to more than 300 Ashley Furniture HomeStores located in the US, as well as Canada, Mexico, Central America, and Japan. These stores are independently owned and sell only Ashley Furniture-branded products. Founded by Carlyle Weinberger in 1945, Ashley Furniture is owned by father-and-son duos Ron and Todd Wanek and Chuck and Ben Vogel.
