Chris will replace Neill Robinson, who recently left the company after almost two years to pursue a new career path in the furniture industry.

Most recently, Chris was the founder and President of Lineage Furniture, a domestic case goods manufacturer based in Pennsylvania. Chris has been in the furniture industry for over three decades and has experience in all aspects of the business.

He started at the ground level as a Retail Furniture Buyer to Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer of a nearly $1 billion Midwest Furniture retail operation.

His knowledge and passion for the furniture retail space, coupled with his decades of experience developing products in Asia and the US, give Chris a deep understanding of what retailers and end consumers need, and how to follow through on those needs.

As President of Legacy Classic | Modern Furniture, Chris will report directly to the Chairman of Samson Holding, Samuel Kuo.

Speaking about the hiring of Chris Pelcher, Mr. Kuo said, “We are truly excited to have Chris join the Samson group and take over the President role at Legacy Classic | Modern.”

“Chris’ entrepreneurial spirit, extensive retail knowledge, and understanding of product development and operational needs will have a positive impact on Legacy.”

Pelcher, commenting on his new appointment, stated, “As a former customer of Legacy Classic | Modern, I have known the company for being dependable and customer centered. I am excited to be working with such a seasoned and dynamic group.”

“I am looking forward to taking the helm as President and pushing for further growth and success for Legacy.”
