In 1905 Cochrane Furniture had its beginning
with John Cochrane seeing
the need and potential of a wood products
manufacturing plant which could
produce showcases and mantels. Since the
fireplace was an overwhelming
necessity for homes built throughout the
country, John Cochrane felt that
every home should have a decorative and
unusual mantel. The business
was successful and mantels were sold by the
carload. In 1928, the company
was incorporated as Cochrane Furniture
Company Incorporated, the name
it bears today.
In the early 1930’s the company, under the
operation of John Cochrane’s four
sons, produced oak and pine dining room
tables and chairs as the company’s
leading products. As sales increased, the
company began adding to the line by
producing china cabinets, servers and dry
sinks to complete the dining room.
Early American Furniture became popular and
Cochrane began using hard
maples as the primary lumber and the maple
leaf was added to the logo.
In 1987 Cochrane Furniture saw a need for
yet another addition to complete the
home and began producing living room
furniture. The addition paved the way
for another successful offering in the line.
Cochrane Upholstery now produces
quality living room products with a myriad
of styles including traditional,
country, casual, transitional and
contemporary.
Through the years Cochrane Furniture has met
the needs and challenges of
producing furniture to complete the home and
now offers a much more
diversified line. The quality products that
Cochrane produces today include
bedroom, dining and living room furniture
using a variety of lumbers including
maples and oaks and having an assortment of
styles to choose.
