Exploration and discovery inspired our name and, generations later, that entrepreneurial spirit is as important today as it was when we were founded in 1944. We are continually examining new ways to innovate – pushing the boundaries to remain at the forefront of our industry in order to deliver the very best experience to our customers.

We got our start in 1944 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and have remained a privately-held, family-owned, Canadian-based organization. What started as a small business by our founder A.A. DeFehr, selling wooden stools and tables, has evolved into a North American institution, offering upholstered furniture in nearly every category – from recliners to beds to sectionals and beyond. We’re exceptionally proud of our heritage and the expertise we’ve honed over three quarters of a century in the furniture industry. Like our namesake John Palliser, the trailblazing Canadian explorer, our passion for discovery is at the heart of everything we do. It’s that passion that drives us to provide expert craftsmanship, quality product, and ultimately, comfort, to our generations of valued customers.
