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.
