Barcalounger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Barcalounger is a type of recliner made in the United States of America. It was introduced by the Barcolo Manufacturing Company of Buffalo, NY, which eventually became the Barcalounger Company. The chairs are currently produced in Tennessee [1], after the company filed for bankruptcy and shuttered its facilities in Rocky Mount, North Carolina and Martinsville, Virginia.
Barcolo Manufacturing also made beds in Welland, Ontario under the Quality Beds name in the first decade of the 20th century, and is also reputed to be the first American company to allow its employees coffee breaks, in 1902.[citation needed]
