Lane is a well known source of medium quality, mid-priced furniture throughout the U.S. Lane started out making cedar chests 95 years ago. While it still makes cedar chests, Lane has expanded today to manufacturing furniture for the entire home. Reclining furniture, home entertainment, dining rooms, bedrooms or occasional furniture, Lane manufactures and sells them all.

Lane is owned by Furniture Brands International, who also own some of America's other best known brands such as Broyhill, Thomasville and Drexel Heritage.

Lane Furniture

Lane manufactures transitional furniture that lies between traditional and casual contemporary furniture. Individual pieces or collections can lean towards one style or the other, but over all it is a safe, neutral style for most interiors.

Lane's large selection of upholstered furniture in leather and fabric is manufactured in Tupelo, Mississippi, right here in the U.S. while its wood furniture is imported from all over the world, but mostly assembled in the U.S.

Lane furniture is sold throughout the U.S. mostly through the brand's own mid-sized stores which carry Lane furniture exclusively. However, department stores and independent dealers also carry a selection of Lane furniture along with other comparable brands.
