Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations HNI Corporation with its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) is a provider of office furniture and hearth products. Both industries are reportable segments; however, the Corporation’s office furniture business is its principal line of business. Refer to Reportable Segment Information for further information. Office furniture products include panel-based and freestanding furniture systems seating, storage and tables. These products are sold primarily through a national system of dealers, wholesalers and office product distributors but also directly to end-user customers and federal, state and local governments. Hearth products include a full array of gas, wood and pellet burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings and accessories. These products are sold through a national system of dealers and distributors, as well as Corporation-owned distribution and retail outlets. The Corporation’s products are marketed predominantly in the United States and Canada. The Corporation exports select products through its export subsidiary to a limited number of markets outside North America, principally the Middle East, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Corporation also manufactures and markets office furniture in Asia and India. Activities outside the United States and Canada, as a percent of sales, are insignificant. Fiscal year-end – The Corporation follows a 52/53 -week fiscal year which ends on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2016 ended on December 31, 2016 ; 2015 ended on January 2, 2016 ; and 2014 ended on January 3, 2015 . The financial statements for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 are on a 52-week basis. The financial statements for fiscal year 2014 are on a 53-week basis. A 53-week year occurs approximately every sixth year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash and money market accounts. The fair value approximates the carrying value due to the short duration of the securities. These securities have original maturity dates not exceeding three months. The Corporation has short-term investments with maturities of less than one year and also has investments with maturities greater than one year included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management classifies investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. Debt securities including government and corporate bonds are classified as available-for-sale and stated at current market value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of equity, net of any related tax effect. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on the trade date. At December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , cash, cash equivalents and investments consisted of the following: Year-End 2016 (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Long-term investments Available-for-sale securities Debt securities — $2,252 $10,033 Cash and money market accounts $36,312 — — Total $36,312 $2,252 $10,033 The amortized cost basis of the debt securities as of December 31, 2016 was $12.3 million . Immaterial unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2016 for these debt securities. Year-End 2015 (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Long-term investments Held-to-maturity securities Certificates of deposit $ — $ 252 $ — Available-for-sale securities Debt securities — 4,000 8,067 Cash and money market accounts 28,548 — — Total $ 28,548 $ 4,252 $ 8,067 The amortized cost basis of the debt securities as of January 2, 2016 was $12.1 million . Immaterial unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of January 2, 2016 for these debt securities. Receivables Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.1 million and $4.3 million for 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The allowance is developed based on several factors including overall customer credit quality, historical write-off experience, and specific account analyses projecting the ultimate collectability of the account. As such, these factors may change over time causing the reserve level to adjust accordingly. Allowance for doubtful accounts Balance at beginning of period Charged to costs and expenses Amounts written off, net of recoveries and other adjustments Divestitures Balance at end of period Year ended December 31, 2016 $4,287 (357 ) 1,598 192 $2,140 Year ended January 2, 2016 $5,096 1,394 2,203 — $4,287 Year ended January 3, 2015 $6,208 343 1,455 — $5,096 Inventories The Corporation valued 79 percent and 78 percent of its inventory by the LIFO method at December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively. During 2016 and 2014, inventory quantities were reduced at certain reporting units. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at higher or lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current year purchases, the effect of which increased cost of goods sold by approximately $0.05 million in 2016 and decreased cost of goods sold by approximately $0.03 million in 2014. There was no similar LIFO decrement in 2015. If the FIFO method had been in use, inventories would have been $24.2 million and $25.1 million higher than reported at December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that materially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Depreciation has been computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives: land improvements, 10 – 20 years; buildings, 10 – 40 years; and machinery and equipment, 3 – 12 years. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating the amount of the asset reflected in the Corporation’s balance sheet may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate group of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. The estimates of future cash flows involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. Asset impairment charges recorded in connection with the Corporation’s restructuring activities are discussed in Restructuring Related Charges. These assets include real estate, manufacturing equipment and certain other fixed assets. The Corporation’s continuous focus on improving the manufacturing process tends to increase the likelihood of assets being replaced; therefore, the Corporation is regularly evaluating the expected lives of its equipment and accelerating depreciation where appropriate. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets See Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets note to consolidated financial statements. Product Warranties The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component failing during normal use because of a defect in design, materials or workmanship. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs. A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows: (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Balance at the beginning of the period $16,227 $16,719 $13,840 Accrual assumed from acquisition — — 1,100 Accrual settled from divestiture (538 ) — — Accruals for warranties issued during the period 20,055 19,995 18,951 Accrual (Recovery) related to pre-existing warranties 604 (334 ) 172 Settlements made during the period (21,098 ) (20,153 ) (17,344 ) Balance at the end of the period $15,250 $16,227 $16,719 The portion of the reserve for estimated settlements expected to be paid in the next twelve months was $7.0 million and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively, and is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of the reserve for settlements expected to be paid beyond one year was $8.3 million and $8.0 million , as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively, and is included in "Other Long-Term Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue Recognition Sales of office furniture and hearth products are generally recognized when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to customers. Typically title and risk of ownership transfer when the product is shipped. In certain circumstances, title and risk of ownership do not transfer until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and customer acceptance. Revenue includes freight charged to customers; related costs are recorded in selling and administrative expense. Rebates, discounts and other marketing program expenses directly related to the sale are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Marketing program accruals require the use of management estimates and the consideration of contractual arrangements subject to interpretation. Customer sales that achieve or do not achieve certain award levels can affect the amount of such estimates and actual results could differ from these estimates. Product Development Costs Product development costs relating to development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. These costs include salaries, contractor fees, building costs, utilities and administrative fees. The amounts charged against income were $28.1 million in 2016 , $31.1 million in 2015 and $29.7 million in 2014 and were recorded in "Selling and Administrative Expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Freight Expense The Corporation records freight expense on shipments to customers in "Selling and Administrative Expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts recorded were $115.2 million in 2016 , $133.4 million in 2015 and $131.0 million in 2014 . Stock-Based Compensation The Corporation measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes cost over the requisite service period. See the Stock-Based Compensation note to consolidated financial statements for further information. Income Taxes The Corporation uses an asset and liability approach that takes into account guidance related to uncertain tax positions and requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Corporation’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Corporation provides for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries were to be remitted to the United States, except for those earnings it considers to be permanently reinvested. There were approximately $32.4 million of accumulated earnings considered permanently reinvested in China, Hong Kong and India as of December 31, 2016 . The Corporation believes the U.S. tax cost on unremitted foreign earnings would be approximately $9.6 million if the amounts were not considered permanently reinvested. See the Income Tax note to consolidated financial statements for further information. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Shares potentially issuable under stock options, restricted stock units and common stock equivalents under the Corporation's deferred compensation plans have been considered outstanding for purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS): (In thousands, except per share data) 2016 2015 2014 Numerators: Numerators for both basic and diluted EPS net income attributable to parent company $85,577 $105,436 $ 61,471 Denominators: Denominator for basic EPS weighted- average common shares outstanding 44,414 44,285 44,760 Potentially dilutive shares from stock option plans 1,088 1,156 819 Denominator for diluted EPS 45,502 45,441 45,579 Earnings per share – basic $1.93 $2.38 $1.37 Earnings per share – diluted $1.88 $2.32 $1.35 Certain exercisable and non-exercisable stock options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The number of stock options outstanding which met this criterion was 416,142 ; 493,202 and 500,058 for 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring use of management estimates relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, marketing program accruals, warranty accruals, accruals for self-insured medical claims, workers’ compensation, legal contingencies, general liability and auto insurance claims, valuation of long-lived assets, and useful lives for depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Self-Insurance The Corporation is primarily self-insured for general, auto and product liability, workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits. The general, auto, product and workers’ compensation liabilities are managed using a wholly owned insurance captive and the related liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , these liabilities totaled $26.5 million and $27.7 million , respectively. The Corporation’s policy is to accrue amounts in accordance with the actuarially determined liabilities. The actuarial valuations are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal actions, medical cost inflation and magnitude of change in actual experience development could cause these estimates to change in the future. Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component of Shareholders’ Equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling and administrative expenses” caption of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made within the financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-05, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . The ASU applies to cloud computing arrangements including software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service and other similar hosting arrangements and was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU provides guidance about whether the arrangement includes a software license. The core principle of the ASU is that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance did not change U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. The FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs in April 2015, which was further clarified by ASU No. 2015-15 in August 2015. The core principle of the ASUs is that an entity should present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt in the balance sheet similar to the manner in which a debt discount or premium is presented, and not reflected as a deferred charge or deferred credit. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line item (that is, the debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). Debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can still be presented as assets and subsequently amortized. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's financial statements because all debt currently held is a line-of-credit arrangement.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Related and Impairment Charges	Restructuring and Impairment Charges The Corporation recorded $10.5 million of restructuring costs in 2016 in connection with the previously announced closures of the Paris, Kentucky hearth manufacturing facility and the Orleans, Indiana office furniture manufacturing facility. Specific items incurred include severance and accelerated depreciation. Of these charges, $5.3 million were included in cost of sales. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Paris, Kentucky hearth manufacturing facility of $5.2 million was classified as held for sale and is included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation made the decision to exit a line of business within our hearth products segment during 2015. The Corporation incurred $0.9 million of restructuring charges as the result of this decision, of which $0.8 million were included in cost of sales. The Corporation also incurred $0.4 million of restructuring charges in 2015 related to office furniture closures announced in 2014 in the form of facility exit costs partially offset by lower than anticipated post employment costs. During 2014, the Corporation made decisions to close three office furniture manufacturing facilities located in Florence, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Nalagarh, India and consolidate production into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities. In connection with these decisions, the Corporation recorded $8.8 million of pre-tax charges in 2014, which included $5.2 million of accelerated depreciation on machinery and equipment recorded in cost of sales and $3.6 million of severance and facility exit costs which were recorded as restructuring charges during the year. The restructuring accrual is classified as current in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as it is expected to be paid out within the next twelve months. The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity since the beginning of fiscal 2014 .

Acquisitions and Divestitures	Acquisitions and Divestitures On January 29, 2016, the Corporation acquired OFM, an office furniture company, with annual sales of approximately $30 million at a purchase price of $34.1 million , net of cash acquired, in an all cash transaction. The Corporation finalized the allocation of the purchase price during fourth quarter 2016. There were $15 million of intangible assets other than goodwill associated with this acquisition with estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years with amortization recorded on a straight line basis based on the projected cash flow associated with the respective intangible assets. There was $14 million of goodwill associated with this acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. As part of the Corporation's ongoing business strategy, it continues to acquire and divest small office furniture dealerships. Goodwill increased approximately $2 million in 2016 as a result of this activity. The Corporation completed the sale of Artcobell, a K-12 education furniture business, on December 31, 2016. A pre-tax non-cash charge of approximately $23 million and a $10 million long term note receivable, which is included on "Other Assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were recorded in relation to the sale. Artcobell had been included as part of the Corporation's office furniture segment. The Corporation completed the acquisition of Vermont Castings Group, a leading manufacturer of free-standing hearth stoves and fireplaces, as part of its hearth products segment on October 1, 2014 for a purchase price of $62.2 million in an all cash transaction. There were $24.9 million of intangible assets other than goodwill associated with this acquisition with estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifteen years with amortization recorded on a straight line basis based on the projected cash flow associated with the respective intangible assets' existing relationships. There was $17.0 million of goodwill associated with this acquisition assigned to the hearth products segment. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets As a result of the required annual impairment assessment performed in the fourth quarter of 2016 , the Corporation determined the fair value of a reporting unit within the office furniture segment was below its carrying value. The decline in the estimated fair value of this reporting unit was largely driven by lower than expected operating performance in 2016. The projections used in the impairment model reflected management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, investments required for operational transformation and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results of the reporting unit. The Corporation assumed a discount rate of 14 percent , near term growth rates ranging from negative 25 percent to positive 9 percent and a terminal growth rate of 3 percent . Based on the two-step analysis, the Corporation recorded a $2.9 million goodwill impairment charge in 2016 . There was $6.3 million net goodwill remaining in the reporting unit as of December 31, 2016 . Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a $2.9 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and a 100 basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would result in a $1.2 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Additionally, and prior to the goodwill impairment assessment, the Corporation tested the recoverability of the long-lived assets in that reporting unit other than goodwill, and found no impairments. The Corporation recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million related to an indefinite-lived trade name. There was an $8.3 million net indefinite-lived trade name remaining in the reporting unit as of December 31, 2016 . The Corporation assumed a royalty rate of 3 percent , near term growth rates ranging from 1 percent to 9 percent and a terminal growth rate of 3 percent . Holding other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point decrease in the royalty rate would result in a $1.7 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the intangible and a 50 basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate would result in a $0.1 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the intangible. Based on the results of the annual impairment tests, the Corporation concluded that no other goodwill impairment existed apart from the impairment charges discussed above. For all other reporting units included in the annual two-step impairment test except the two noted below, the estimated fair value is significantly in excess of carrying value. For one of the office furniture reporting units that exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5 percent , the Corporation assumed a discount rate of 14 percent , near term growth rates ranging from 3 percent to 7 percent and a terminal growth rate of 3.0 percent . The fair value model assumes continued positive economic momentum and transformation of the reporting unit including sales and marketing initiatives, new product development and operational processes. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a $4.5 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and a 100 basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would result in a $1.9 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Both of these scenarios individually would result in the reporting unit failing step one. There is $24.5 million of goodwill associated with this reporting unit. For the other office furniture reporting unit that exceeded its carrying value by approximately 18 percent , the Corporation assumed a discount rate of 16 percent , near term growth rates ranging from 4 percent to 20 percent and a terminal growth rate of 3 percent . The fair value model assumes continued positive economic momentum of the reporting unit including investments in sales, marketing and distribution, market growth and expansion in other channels. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a $3.2 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and a 100 basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would result in a $1.1 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Neither of these scenarios individually would result in the reporting unit failing step one. There is $14.1 million of goodwill associated with this reporting unit. The Corporation also owns certain trademarks and trade names having a carrying value of $38.1 million as of December 31, 2016 , and $41.0 million as of January 2, 2016 . These trademarks and trade names are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. As a result of the review performed in the fourth quarter of 2016 , the Corporation recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million to adjust the trade name associated with a small office furniture reporting unit to fair market value as discussed above.

The Corporation paid off its outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt obligation on April 6, 2016 with revolving credit facility borrowings. The value of these senior notes was estimated based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 2) to be $148 million at January 2, 2016 compared to the carrying value of $150 million . The Corporation, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Corporation, the lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") on January 6, 2016. The Credit Agreement amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2015. The Credit Agreement was amended to increase the revolving commitment of the lenders from $250 million to $400 million (while retaining the Corporation's option under the Credit Agreement to increase its borrowing capacity by an additional $150 million ) in order to provide funding for the payoff of its maturing senior notes on April 6, 2016 and to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 2020 to January 2021. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement, which were classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2016 , there was $214 million outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility of which $180 million was classified as long-term since the Corporation does not expect to repay the borrowings within a year. Because the Corporation expects, but is not required, to repay the remaining $34 million in 2017 , it is classified as current. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of common stock and certain working capital needs. Non-compliance with the various financial covenant ratios in the Credit Agreement could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and/or increase the cost of borrowing. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter: • a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and • a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters. The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0 included in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income. On December 31, 2016 , the Corporation was well below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the Credit Agreement. The Corporation expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months. In March 2016, the Corporation entered in to an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $150 million notational value expiring January 2021. As of December 31, 2016 , the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was a net asset of $2.3 million reported net of tax as $1.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: (in thousands) 2016 2015 Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period $2,858 $4,250 Increases in positions taken in a prior period 86 82 Decreases in positions taken in a prior period — (1,611 ) New positions taken in a current period 792 793 Decrease due to settlements (560 ) — Decrease due to lapse of statute of limitations (133 ) (656 ) Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period $3,043 $2,858 The amount of unrecognized tax benefits which would impact the Corporation’s effective tax rate, if recognized, was $3.0 million at December 31, 2016 and $2.8 million at January 2, 2016 . As of December 31, 2016 , it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the twelve months following the reporting date. These increases or decreases in the unrecognized tax benefits would be due to new positions that may be taken on income tax returns, settlement of tax positions and the closing of statutes of limitation. It is not expected any of the changes will be material individually or in total to the results or financial position of the Corporation. The Corporation recognized interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting. Interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income amounted to a detriment of $0.1 million , a benefit of $0.1 million and $0.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 , respectively. The Corporation had recorded a liability for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively. Tax years 2013 through 2016 remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Corporation is currently under examination for the 2014 federal tax return and in various state jurisdictions, of which years 2012 through 2016 remain open to examination. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Corporation provides for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries were to be remitted to the United States, except for those earnings it considers to be permanently reinvested. There were approximately $32.4 million of accumulated earnings considered permanently reinvested in Canada, China, and Hong Kong as of December 31, 2016 . The Corporation believes the U.S tax cost on unremitted foreign earnings would be approximately $9.6 million if the amounts were not considered permanently reinvested.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities. The marketable securities are comprised of investments in government securities and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases, where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges/indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

In May 2007, the Corporation registered 300,000 shares of its common stock under its 2007 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors of HNI Corporation, as amended (the “Director Plan”). The Director Plan permits the Corporation to issue to its non-employee directors options to purchase shares of Corporation common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units of the Corporation and awards of Corporation common stock. The Director Plan also permits non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainers and other compensation in the form of shares of Corporation common stock. During 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , 24,352 ; 20,146 ; and 27,272 shares, respectively, of Corporation common stock were issued under the Director Plan. Cash dividends declared and paid per share for each year are: (In dollars) 2016 2015 2014 Common shares $1.090 $1.045 $0.990 During 2007, shareholders approved the 2002 Members’ Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), as amended January 1, 2007. Under the plan, 800,000 shares of common stock were initially registered for issuance to participating members. On June 12, 2009, an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock were registered for issuance to participating members. Beginning on June 30, 2002, rights to purchase stock are granted on a quarterly basis to all participating members who customarily work 20 hours or more per week and for five months or more in any calendar year. The price of the stock purchased under the Purchase Plan is 85 percent of the closing price on the exercise date. No member may purchase stock under the Purchase Plan in an amount which exceeds a maximum fair value of $25,000 in any calendar year. During 2016 , 75,098 shares of common stock were issued under the Purchase Plan at an average price of $31.11 . During 2015 , 73,874 shares of common stock were issued under the plan at an average price of $32.18 . During 2014 , 84,065 shares of common stock were issued under the Purchase Plan at an average price of $27.92 . An additional 298,170 shares were available for issuance under the Purchase Plan at December 31, 2016 . The Corporation has entered into change in control employment agreements with certain officers. According to the agreements, a change in control occurs when a third person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the Corporation’s common stock, when more than one-third of the Board is composed of persons not recommended by at least three-fourths of the incumbent Board, upon certain business combinations involving the Corporation or upon approval by the Corporation’s shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution. Upon a change in control, a key member is deemed to have a two -year employment agreement with the Corporation, and all of his or her benefits vest under the Corporation’s compensation plans. If, at any time within two years of the change in control, his or her employment is terminated by the Corporation for any reason other than cause or disability, or by the key member for good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement, then the key member is entitled to receive, among other benefits, a severance payment equal to two times ( three times for the Corporation’s Chairman, President and CEO) annual salary and the average of the prior two years’ bonuses.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Under the Corporation’s 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective May 8, 2007, as amended, the Corporation may award options to purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock and grant other stock awards to executives, managers and key personnel. Upon shareholder approval of the Plan in May 2007, no future awards were granted under the Corporation’s 1995 Stock-Based Compensation Plan, but all outstanding awards previously granted under that plan shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. As of December 31, 2016 , there were approximately 2.8 million shares available for future issuance under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board. Restricted stock units awarded under the Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. Stock options awarded to members under the Plan must be at exercise prices equal to or exceeding the fair market value of the Corporation’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options are generally subject to four -year cliff vesting and must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant. The Corporation measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes cost over the requisite service period. Compensation cost charged against operations for the Plan and Purchase Plan described in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements was $8.1 million , $9.1 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 , respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $2.8 million , $3.1 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 , respectively. The stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 , was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions by grant year: Year Ended Dec 31, 2016 Year Ended Jan 2, 2016 Year Ended Jan 3, 2015 Expected term 6 years 6 years 5 years Expected volatility: Weighted-average 38.96 % 43.54 % 42.49 % Expected dividend yield: Weighted-average 3.30 % 1.94 % 2.76 % Risk-free interest rate: Range used 1.41 % 1.69 % 1.54 % Expected volatilities were based on historical volatility as the Corporation does not feel that future volatility over the expected term of the options is likely to differ from the past. The Corporation used a calculation method based on daily frequency for the prior six years for 2016 and 2015 and a simple-average calculation method based on monthly frequency points for the prior five years for 2014. The Corporation used the current dividend yield in all years as there are no plans to substantially increase or decrease its dividends. The Corporation used historical exercise experience in all years to determine the expected term. The risk-free interest rate was selected based on yields from treasury securities as published by the Federal Reserve equal to the expected term of the options being valued for 2016 and 2015 and yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued for 2014. The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding stock options since the beginning of fiscal 2014 .

The RSUs vest at the end of three years after the grant date. No dividends are accrued on the RSUs. The share-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs is based on the quoted market price of HNI Corporation shares on the date of grant less the discounted present value of dividends not received on the shares and is amortized using the straight-line method from the grant date through the vesting date. The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding RSUs since the beginning of fiscal 2014: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 28, 2013 24,526 $23.01 Granted 15,500 32.23 Vested (14,000 ) 21.47 Forfeited — — Outstanding at January 3, 2015 26,026 $27.76 Granted 23,000 51.54 Vested (10,526 ) 21.19 Forfeited — — Outstanding at January 2, 2016 38,500 $43.77 Granted 25,000 32.06 Vested — — Forfeited (3,000 ) 51.54 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 60,500 $38.54 At December 31, 2016 , there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs which the Corporation expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.

Post-Retirement Health Care	Post-Retirement Health Care Guidance on employers’ accounting for other post-retirement plans requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status on the balance sheet. Under this guidance, gains and losses, prior services costs and credits and any remaining transition amounts under previous guidance not yet recognized through net periodic benefit cost are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Also, the measurement date – the date at which the benefit obligation and plan assets are measured – is required to be the Corporation’s fiscal year-end.

Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies	Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies The Corporation utilizes letters of credit in the amount of $9 million to back certain financing instruments, insurance policies and payment obligations. The Corporation utilizes trade letters of credit and bankers' acceptances in the amount of $4 million to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined. Withdrawal Liability From Multi-employer Pension On February 2, 2017, the Corporation was notified of a withdrawal liability from a multi-employer pension fund associated with a business sold by the Corporation as a going concern in 2013. The business subsequently ceased operations, triggering the liability for which it was responsible. The trustee of the pension fund has asserted a claim against the Corporation as a prior indirect owner of the business. The Corporation has not recorded any liability associated with this claim because it believes the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is neither probable nor remote. The Corporation believes it has strong legal and factual defenses, and intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim. Other Litigation The Corporation is involved in various kinds of disputes and legal proceedings that have arisen in the course of its business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims. It is the Corporation’s opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that additional liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s quarterly or annual operating results and cash flows when resolved in a future period.

Reportable Segment Information

Reportable Segment Information	12 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segment Information	Reportable Segment Information Management views the Corporation as being in two reportable segments based on industries: office furniture and hearth products, with the former being the principal segment. The aggregated office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal and wood commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of gas, electric, wood and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings and accessories, principally for the home. For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales transfers between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation’s corporate operations, interest income and interest expense. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost. In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments and corporate office real estate and related equipment. No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation’s primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States. Reportable segment data reconciled to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , is as follows for continuing operations: (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Net sales: Office furniture $ 1,703,885 $ 1,777,804 $ 1,739,049 Hearth products 499,604 526,615 483,646 $ 2,203,489 $ 2,304,419 $ 2,222,695 Operating profit: Office furniture (a) $ 117,397 $ 136,593 $ 87,053 Hearth products (b) 69,960 78,162 77,066 Total operating profit 187,357 214,755 164,119 Unallocated corporate expenses (58,446 ) (57,585 ) (59,188 ) Income (loss) before income taxes $ 128,911 $ 157,170 $ 104,931 Depreciation and amortization expense: Office furniture $ 45,088 $ 42,415 $ 45,891 Hearth products 12,486 8,430 5,415 General corporate 11,373 6,719 5,416 $ 68,947 $ 57,564 $ 56,722 Capital expenditures (including capitalized software): Office furniture $ 65,944 $ 64,850 $ 62,696 Hearth products 11,217 11,078 6,342 General corporate 42,423 39,038 43,675 $ 119,584 $ 114,966 $ 112,713 Identifiable assets: Office furniture $ 749,145 $ 739,915 $ 724,293 Hearth products 340,494 341,813 341,315 General corporate 240,595 182,197 173,726 $ 1,330,234 $ 1,263,925 $ 1,239,334 (a) Included in operating profit for the office furniture segment are pretax charges of $10.9 million , $11.6 million and $38.2 million , for closing of facilities and impairment charges in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Summary of Significant Accoun28

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year End	The Corporation follows a 52/53 -week fiscal year which ends on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2016 ended on December 31, 2016 ; 2015 ended on January 2, 2016 ; and 2014 ended on January 3, 2015 . The financial statements for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 are on a 52-week basis. The financial statements for fiscal year 2014 are on a 53-week basis. A 53-week year occurs approximately every sixth year.
Principles of Consolidation	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments	Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash and money market accounts. The fair value approximates the carrying value due to the short duration of the securities. These securities have original maturity dates not exceeding three months. The Corporation has short-term investments with maturities of less than one year and also has investments with maturities greater than one year included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management classifies investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. Debt securities including government and corporate bonds are classified as available-for-sale and stated at current market value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of equity, net of any related tax effect. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on the trade date.
Receivables	Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.1 million and $4.3 million for 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The allowance is developed based on several factors including overall customer credit quality, historical write-off experience, and specific account analyses projecting the ultimate collectability of the account. As such, these factors may change over time causing the reserve level to adjust accordingly.
Inventories	The Corporation valued 79 percent and 78 percent of its inventory by the LIFO method at December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively. During 2016 and 2014, inventory quantities were reduced at certain reporting units. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at higher or lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current year purchases, the effect of which increased cost of goods sold by approximately $0.05 million in 2016 and decreased cost of goods sold by approximately $0.03 million in 2014. There was no similar LIFO decrement in 2015. If the FIFO method had been in use, inventories would have been $24.2 million and $25.1 million higher than reported at December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that materially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Depreciation has been computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives: land improvements, 10 – 20 years; buildings, 10 – 40 years; and machinery and equipment, 3 – 12 years.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating the amount of the asset reflected in the Corporation’s balance sheet may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate group of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. The estimates of future cash flows involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. Asset impairment charges recorded in connection with the Corporation’s restructuring activities are discussed in Restructuring Related Charges. These assets include real estate, manufacturing equipment and certain other fixed assets. The Corporation’s continuous focus on improving the manufacturing process tends to increase the likelihood of assets being replaced; therefore, the Corporation is regularly evaluating the expected lives of its equipment and accelerating depreciation where appropriate.
Product Warranties	The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component failing during normal use because of a defect in design, materials or workmanship. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs. A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve.
Revenue Recognition	Sales of office furniture and hearth products are generally recognized when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to customers. Typically title and risk of ownership transfer when the product is shipped. In certain circumstances, title and risk of ownership do not transfer until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and customer acceptance. Revenue includes freight charged to customers; related costs are recorded in selling and administrative expense. Rebates, discounts and other marketing program expenses directly related to the sale are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Marketing program accruals require the use of management estimates and the consideration of contractual arrangements subject to interpretation. Customer sales that achieve or do not achieve certain award levels can affect the amount of such estimates and actual results could differ from these estimates.
Product Development Costs	Product development costs relating to development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. These costs include salaries, contractor fees, building costs, utilities and administrative fees.
Freight Expense	The Corporation records freight expense on shipments to customers in "Selling and Administrative Expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Stock-Based Compensation	The Corporation measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes cost over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes	The Corporation uses an asset and liability approach that takes into account guidance related to uncertain tax positions and requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Corporation’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Corporation provides for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries were to be remitted to the United States, except for those earnings it considers to be permanently reinvested.
Earnings Per Share	Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Shares potentially issuable under stock options, restricted stock units and common stock equivalents under the Corporation's deferred compensation plans have been considered outstanding for purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring use of management estimates relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, marketing program accruals, warranty accruals, accruals for self-insured medical claims, workers’ compensation, legal contingencies, general liability and auto insurance claims, valuation of long-lived assets, and useful lives for depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Self-Insurance	The Corporation is primarily self-insured for general, auto and product liability, workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits. The general, auto, product and workers’ compensation liabilities are managed using a wholly owned insurance captive and the related liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , these liabilities totaled $26.5 million and $27.7 million , respectively. The Corporation’s policy is to accrue amounts in accordance with the actuarially determined liabilities. The actuarial valuations are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal actions, medical cost inflation and magnitude of change in actual experience development could cause these estimates to change in the future.
Foreign Currency Translations	Foreign currency financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component of Shareholders’ Equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling and administrative expenses” caption of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Reclassifications	Certain reclassifications have been made within the financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-05, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . The ASU applies to cloud computing arrangements including software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service and other similar hosting arrangements and was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU provides guidance about whether the arrangement includes a software license. The core principle of the ASU is that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance did not change U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. The FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs in April 2015, which was further clarified by ASU No. 2015-15 in August 2015. The core principle of the ASUs is that an entity should present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt in the balance sheet similar to the manner in which a debt discount or premium is presented, and not reflected as a deferred charge or deferred credit. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line item (that is, the debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). Debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can still be presented as assets and subsequently amortized. The Corporation adopted the guidance effective January 3, 2016, the beginning of the Corporation's 2016 fiscal year. The guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's financial statements because all debt currently held is a line-of-credit arrangement.
