by In late 2022, Home News Now visited the Claremont, North Carolina, plant that direct-to-consumer resource Coley Home acquired in the fall of 2021. Today the 60,000-square-foot facility employs just over 40 workers who cover a wide range of tasks, from frame assembly to sewing and upholstering the company’s full line of sofas, chairs, sectionals and beds.
Each day they work with a range of fabrics and other materials that are used to produce a quality upholstery line that is shipped to consumers around the country as well as designers and a growing number of retailers.
Below is a glimpse at the work they do in a facility that allows the company to control not only its quality, but also speed to market as it ships goods in as little as 10 days from the time of order.
