CR Laine Furniture Company is a family-owned upholstery manufacturer in Hickory, North Carolina. Founded in 1958 by Clarence Roseman, the company remains "family owned and operated," with C.E. "Sonny" Roseman, Jr. as Chairman and Warren Frye as Chief Executive Officer and President.
The company describes its product as "custom, bench-crafted upholstered furniture," made "in our hometown of Hickory, North Carolina" by "North Carolina's finest artisans." It states that "for more than 60 years, CR Laine has proudly made our customized, bench-crafted upholstery" locally. Construction blends modern processes and equipment with traditional methods, including eight-way hand-tied springs — a hand-built suspension technique that has largely disappeared from volume-manufactured upholstery.
Customization is presented as a core capability rather than an option list. CR Laine maintains a dedicated Custom Design product category, and buyers can specify fabrics, leathers, nails, trims, stitching, finishes, cushions, throw pillows, and skirts.
The catalog spans sofas, loveseats, sectionals, chairs, swivel gliders, recliners, dining and bar stools, ottomans, beds, daybeds, and accent pieces, with seasonal fabric and leather collections.
CR Laine works with both design professionals and consumers, operating separate Trade Inquiry and Consumer Inquiry channels along with a dealer locator and a customer portal at portal.crlaine.com. The company positions its aesthetic as "classic style with a modern perspective."
