Lee Industries

Lee Industries

Our history is long and storied. Here’s a quick synopsis: In 1969, Bill and Dottie Coley set out to manufacture quality American-made furniture that they would use in their home. So they opened a 7500 square foot factory, hired 10 people and accomplished exactly what they set out to do — and so very much more. In 1972, Chic Robinson joined the team as Executive Vice President in charge of financial, production, and administrative functions and helped propel Lee to a new level. For over 40 years, Lee Industries has had a mission to create innovatively styled, high-quality home furnishings. A family-owned and operated company, we are committed to the good of our customers, our associates, our vendors, our community and our environment. Through dilligence, foresight and perseverance, we have become a leader in upholstery manufacturing with outstanding products, superb customer service and cutting edge technology. Thanks to the craftsmanship and team spirit that is the hallmark of Lee’s success, every masterpiece is built with pride in the USA.
