About Kincaid Furniture
Kincaid’s story begins in 1924, when J. Wade Kincaid began assembling drawers at the age of 14. By 1964, he had acquired his own furniture company in Hudson, North Carolina and transformed it into a nationally recognized brand. Kincaid started with cedar chests and wardrobes and quickly developed a reputation for high-quality, solid wood craftsmanship.
In 1988, Kincaid Furniture became part of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, creating a unique partnership that pairs solid wood furniture with La-Z-Boy’s legendary upholstery. Today, Kincaid continues to operate in North Carolina and offers furniture collections that blend traditional materials with thoughtful craftsmanship.
Each piece is made to last, whether you’re investing in a queen bed for a newlywed couple or a dining table designed to become the heart of your family gatherings. As Magaly puts it, “This is furniture that’s meant to be loved and lived with for a lifetime.”
Kincaid Collections & Product Range
Kincaid manufactures and distributes 18 wood furniture collections designed to serve every room in your home. These include full assortments for bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces, as well as a curated line of accent furniture and customizable upholstered pieces.
The bedroom offerings range from traditional wood-framed beds and dressers to upholstered headboards and mirrored armoires. Dining sets include tables in multiple shapes, extendable options, and upholstered or solid wood chairs.
Living room products cover the essentials, from sofas and ottomans to entertainment consoles and coffee tables, all crafted with the same dedication to material quality.
Magaly explains that what sets Kincaid apart is “the depth of product in each collection. Each one includes multiple sizes, finishes, and accent options, meaning you can carry one look across your whole home without sacrificing variety or personal expression.”
At La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau & Kingston, many occasional tables such as end tables and consoles are on display, while other pieces, including complete bedroom or dining room sets, can be ordered from the Kincaid catalogue with the help of our design team.
Kincaid Construction & Craftsmanship
What truly differentiates Kincaid Furniture from mass-market competitors is its uncompromising commitment to solid wood construction. All external panels are made from genuine wood, never veneer. This not only enhances the tactile quality of each piece but also ensures resistance to warping, peeling, and cracking over time.
The construction methods are equally impressive. Kincaid uses mortise-and-tenon joinery to ensure a secure connection at all corners, and English dovetail drawers for structural integrity. Raised panels, floating tops, and self-centring construction are standard, allowing the furniture to expand and contract naturally with changing humidity.
Drawer glides are premium soft-close with adjustable tension and levelling controls, and the edges of all pieces are shaped from solid wood, never banded veneer. Even dining chairs are crafted with finger-jointed corners that add strength without sacrificing elegance.
Floating panels, heavy front posts for strength, and adjustable glides for floor levelling are just some of the subtle but significant elements found throughout each piece.
Magaly points out, “The craftsmanship in Kincaid is evident from the first touch. Even the underside of a drawer tells a story. Everything is beautifully engineered with purpose, and it’s why my clients feel confident investing in these pieces.”

Kincaid Warranty Coverage
Kincaid products are designed to endure everyday use without compromise. That said, no piece of furniture is immune to the wear and tear of daily life. To safeguard your investment, Kincaid offers a one-year limited warranty on manufacturing defects. This coverage includes structural or material issues that emerge under normal residential use, and applies from the date of shipment.
If a defect is identified, Kincaid will either repair or replace the affected part or substitute a comparable item at their discretion.
For extended peace of mind, many customers opt into the La-Z-Boy 5-Year Furniture Protection Plan. This plan covers accidental damage such as spills, scratches, heat rings, and peeling or cracking of solid wood finishes.
As Magaly notes, “If you’re spending thousands on a piece meant to last decades, the protection plan is a no-brainer. It ensures your investment continues looking and functioning beautifully for years to come.”
Is Kincaid Furniture Right for You?
Kincaid is not for everyone, but for the right homeowner, it can be a perfect fit.
Kincaid furniture is designed for people who value long-term investment. These are pieces you buy not just for utility, but for legacy. According to Magaly, “A Kincaid bedroom set is something you can buy early in your marriage and expect to pass on to your kids. It’s furniture that stays in the family.”

If you’re looking to quickly furnish a space on a budget or plan to swap out furniture every five to ten years, Kincaid likely won’t match your needs or expectations. But if your goal is cohesive, high-end design across the major rooms in your home, like the bedroom, dining room, and living area, then Kincaid offers one of the most seamless and elegant solutions available.
Magaly also emphasizes that Kincaid is perfect for homeowners who recognize and appreciate exceptional craftsmanship. The details matter, from how drawers open to the feel of the finish, to how pieces look over time. “When clients see Kincaid in person, they immediately understand why it costs what it does,” she says. “It’s not just furniture, it’s functional artistry.”
