In March, Home News Now visited Century Furniture’s upholstery production facilities in Hickory, North Carolina. Consisting of a 331,000 square-foot main production facility and a second 150,000-square foot boutique upholstery plant, the two facilities employ as many as 600 workers that produce more than 1,000 pieces of finished product each week for customers around the world.
These workers range from fabric cutters and sewers to frame makers and upholsterers, many of which have decades of experience in the field. Below are some images Home News Now captured during its tour of the facilities that showcase the handmade nature of the line.
