Welcome to Hooker Furniture, where every piece tells a story steeped in craftsmanship and dedication spanning nearly a century. Our journey began in 1925 when Clyde Hooker Jr., just four years old, symbolically kickstarted our legacy by pulling the cord on the inaugural workday's steam whistle. Guided by Clyde's unwavering commitment to excellence, Hooker Furniture evolved into a cornerstone of the furniture industry, renowned for its stylish designs and impeccable quality.

Transitioning leadership from Clyde to Paul B. Toms Jr. in 2000 marked a pivotal moment, ushering in a new era of innovation while preserving the family ethos that defines us. Today, as a third-generation company, we remain steadfast in our mission to exceed expectations, one meticulously crafted piece at a time.

From our corporate headquarters nestled in Martinsville, Virginia, to our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities across Virginia and North Carolina, Hooker Furniture stands as a beacon of American ingenuity and tradition. Our diverse portfolio, ranging from high-fashion custom upholstery to imported wood furnishings, reflects our global reach without compromising on the values that define us.

As a publicly traded company listed on NASDAQ's Global Select Market, we uphold a steadfast commitment to financial responsibility, consistently setting industry benchmarks in profitability and sales. Yet, our success is not measured solely in numbers but in the enduring impact we make on our communities. Through charitable initiatives, educational scholarships, and environmental stewardship, Hooker Furniture strives to leave a lasting legacy of social responsibility, ensuring a brighter tomorrow for generations to come. Join us in celebrating our rich heritage and boundless possibilities as we continue to shape the future of furniture design and innovation.
