Magnussen Home Furnishings, Inc. announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence Furniture, two established case goods brands formerly part of Home Meridian International, from Hooker Furnishings Corporation.
The deal is expected to close on Dec 10. Financial terms were not disclosed. Samuel Lawrence Hospitality is not a part of the deal.
This acquisition represents a strategic expansion for Magnussen and brings two long-established brands with deep retail relationships, strong pipelines and decades of design heritage into its portfolio.
Pulaski Furniture, founded in 1955 has built a 70-year legacy of craftsmanship and richly detailed furniture. The brand is known for its broad portfolio of bedroom, dining, accent furniture, curios and display cabinets, serving retailers nationwide with dependable mid-price assortments and distinctive designs.
Samuel Lawrence Furniture, with more than 50 years of market presence, is widely recognized for value-driven bedroom, dining, youth and home office furnishings. Its consistent product flow, retail programs and accessible price points have made it a staple for retailers across both traditional and e-commerce channels.
As part of the acquisition, Magnussen will assume Home Meridian’s High Point corporate office and its 220 Elm showroom, creating an expanded market presence and enabling the company to present a more comprehensive offering each High Point Market cycle.
Page Wilson, the former president of Pulaski who recently joined Magnussen as senior vice president of strategic accounts, was named senior vice president and head of day-to-day operations of the newly acquired companies.
"This acquisition expands our design reach and strengthens our leadership in case goods. Our goal is to build a broader house of brands that gives retailers more choice across design styles and price points," said Nathan Cressman, CEO of Magnussen Home. "Pulaski and Samuel Lawrence each have strong followings and long-standing reputations. Combined with Magnussen's capabilities, these brands will offer retailers more depth, more options and more reasons to partner with us."
Magnussen President Doug Townsend, who spent over 12 years in senior leadership roles supporting these brands earlier in his career, emphasized the opportunity ahead.
"This is an important strategic addition for Magnussen. These are storied brands with committed retail partners and decades of product success," he said. "With Magnussen's scale, supply-chain depth, and investment focus, we see a clear path to strengthening these brands and expanding their relevance in today's market."
Townsend added that Wilson’s recent experience with Pulaski and Samuel Lawrence will make the transition smooth for customers. Page added “I look forward to leading these brands and growing them back to a position of market leadership they are known for.”
