Ethan Allen has 295 Design Centers and Studios, six manufacturing facilities including two sawmills, six wholesale distribution centers, 29 retail service centers, one hotel, and sales of $980 million located across the United States.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.furnituretoday.com/article/162536-Ethan_Allen_launches_contract_furniture_division.php | title=Ethan Allen launches contract furniture division | publisher=Furniture Today | accessdate=2009-02-12}}</ref> It is one of the largest furniture companies in the United States.{{Citation needed|date=February 2009}} |
|||
But I remember when trees were everywhere |
|||
And no one had to pay for air |
|||
The company makes customized furniture domestically ( Maiden, NC ), such as upholstered furniture, sofas, and chairs, custom made in a selected fabric. Overall domestic manufacturing of Ethan Allen products stands at 65% with goals to raise this to 70% with the release of the new American Artisan line.<ref>[http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009902250318]</ref> |

==History== |
|||
Let it grow |
|||
The company was started as a housewares manufacturer in 1932, then bought a bankrupt furniture factory in Beecher Falls, Vermont, in 1936.<ref name="obit">{{cite web|url=http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct_archive/sep99/39a_fr.html|title=Obituary: Nathan S.

It was named after the Vermont Revolutionary leader. |
|||
Maybe it's just one tiny seed |
|||
But it's all we really need |
|||
In 1972, Ethan Allen moved its headquarters from [[New York City]] to [[Danbury, Connecticut]]. The Ethan Allen International Headquarters Complex includes the Ethan Allen Hotel,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ethanallenhotel.com |title=Hotel | Danbury CT | Ethan Allen Hotel - Danbury CT |publisher=Ethan Allen Hotel |date= |accessdate=2012-09-23}}</ref> corporate headquarters offices, and an interior design center. The firm was sold in 1980 to Interco for $150 million, though Ancell remained an advisor. The company was sold again in 1989 to a management group headed by current Chairman, President, and CEO [[Farooq Kathwari]]. In 1993, the company went public to help raise $156.9 million through the sale of common stock. |
|||
It's time to change the life we lead |
|||
Time to let it grow |
|||
In 2004, Ethan Allen closed its Boonville, New York, plant, laying off 250. It also closed its Bridgewater, Virginia, plant, also laying off 250. |
|||
My name's O'Hare |
|||
I'm one of you |
|||
In 2008, the company announced plans to close a dozen Design Centers. The decision was made to consolidate the Design Centers with others that were currently serving the same market area.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.furnituretoday.com/article/CA6519369.html?industryid=23169&industry=Headline+News | title=Ethan Allen to close 12 stores | publisher=Furniture Today | first=Clint | last=Engel | date=2008-01-10 | accessdate=2008-01-10}}</ref> |

The things you say just might be true |

More than seventy percent of its cherry, maple and alder wood pieces are crafted in the United States.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} Towards the end of 2008, Ethan Allen began selling their products online.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ethanallen.com |title=decorating ideas | modern, traditional, casual furniture | free interior design |publisher=ethanallen.com |date= |accessdate=2012-09-23}}</ref> |
|||
It could be time to start anew |
|||
And maybe change my point of view |
|||
In 2009, the company laid off 238 workers from [[Canaan, Vermont|Beecher Falls, Vermont]]. 93 workers remained.<ref>''Burlington Free Press'', June 26, 2009, page 1A, "Ethan Allen lays off 238 ion Kingdom," Wilson Ring</ref> Later in the year, the plant ceased operation. |
|||
Nah! I say let it die |
|||
In 2009, Ethan Allen closed the Eldred, PA manufacturing plant. |

Let it die, let it die |

Let it shrivel up and die |
