Bassett Furniture Industries Inc
A maker of sofas, beds, dining tables, and other home furnishings, designed in the United States and sold through its own retail stores and partner dealers. It was born in 1902 when the Bassett brothers, who ran a sawmill in the Virginia Blue Ridge foothills, took their wives' advice to turn leftover hardwood into finished furniture instead of raw lumber. In a twist on the usual naming pattern, the nearby town of Bassett took its name from the factory and the family that built it.
