In 1924, at the age of 14, J. Wade Kincaid began his career by assembling drawers for a small western North Carolina furniture company and eventually worked his way up to a plant manager's position. In 1946 he purchased a small furniture company in Hudson, North Carolina. The company started by producing solid wood cedar chests and wardrobes. Later, he launched a line of solid wood dining room and occasional furniture. Over the years Kincaid has become one of the industry's leaders in solid wood furniture. Genuine solid wood is used on all exterior panels and shaped edges to provide quality and beauty that will last for generations.
At Kincaid Furniture, things are made the way they used to be, they may even be a little better. With the purchase of the Alexvale Furniture Company in 2000, Kincaid became a "full-line" manufacturer by adding an extensive line of custom upholstery. Kincaid's upholstery operations in western North Carolina have built quality, bench-made upholstery one piece at a time. And like Kincaid's solid wood furniture, the upholstery has also benefited from a number of enhancements that continue to add value for the customer. So much so that we offer a lifetime warranty on upholstery frames, springs, and cushions.
