Fairfield Chair Company is a family-owned furniture manufacturer in Lenoir, North Carolina, producing upholstered seating and casegoods. The company describes itself as "a 4th generation, family-owned furniture company" focused on "American-made, bench made upholstery," and dates its founding to 1921, with familial roots it traces to 1799.
Production runs through the company's own facility, built around bench-made upholstery craftsmanship — a method where a piece is assembled largely by one maker rather than moved down a line. Finishes are hand-applied by the company's artisans.
Customization is a core program rather than an add-on. Fairfield offers "Build Your Own" collections spanning benches, ottomans, and beds, alongside custom fabric and leather selection, custom finishes, and choices of decorative trims, cushions, and hardware. Published lead times run 2–3 days for in-stock items and 4–6 weeks for custom pieces.
The catalog covers upholstered seating — chairs, sofas, recliners, and sectionals — and casegoods including tables, desks, beds, and storage. Materials include performance and standard fabrics, leather and performance leather, and vinyl alternatives.
Fairfield serves three market segments: residential, commercial, and senior living. Its To The Trade program offers preferential pricing, a 15% first-order discount, a dedicated concierge team, fabric and finish samples, and carries no minimum order requirement. The company operates at 1331 Harper Ave SW in Lenoir and works with customers through a rep network and direct inquiry.
