Revenue from Contracts with Cus

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Corporation implemented ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), at the beginning of fiscal 2018 using the modified-retrospective method, which required the new guidance to be applied prospectively to revenue transactions completed on or after the effective date. Given the nature of the Corporation's revenue transactions, the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial position. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, controls, and disclosures, have been identified and implemented as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by sales channel and by segment is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Segment March 30, March 31, Supplies-driven channel Office Furniture $ 176,693 $ 191,228 Contract channel Office Furniture 176,818 189,687 Hearth Hearth Products 125,945 124,154 Net sales $ 479,456 $ 505,069 The majority of revenue presented as "Net sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income is the result of contracts with customers. All other sources of revenue are not material to the Corporation's results of operations. Sales by channel type are subject to similar economic factors and market conditions regardless of the channel under which the product is sold. See “Note 18. Reportable Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about operating segments. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation has contract assets consisting of funds paid to certain office furniture dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s products. These dealer investments are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. For contracts less than one year, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of deferred revenue and rebate and marketing program liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows (in thousands): March 30, December 29, Trade receivables (1) $ 228,674 $ 259,075 Contract assets (current) (2) $ 544 $ 529 Contract assets (long-term) (3) $ 2,091 $ 2,188 Contract liabilities (4) $ 31,129 $ 44,858 The index below indicates the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported: (1) "Receivables" (2) "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" (3) "Other Assets" (4) "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" Changes in contract asset and contract liability balances during the three months ended March 30, 2019 were as follows (in thousands): Contract assets increase (decrease) Contract liabilities (increase) decrease Reclassification of contract assets to contra revenue $ (82 ) $ — Contract liabilities recognized and recorded to contra revenue as a result of performance obligations satisfied — (28,567 ) Contract liabilities paid — 41,368 Cash received in advance and not recognized as revenue — (24,185 ) Reclassification of cash received in advance to revenue as a result of performance obligations satisfied — 25,113 Net change $ (82 ) $ 13,729 For the three months ended March 30, 2019 , the Corporation recognized revenue of $8.3 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to contract liabilities as of December 29, 2018 . Performance Obligations The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of office furniture and hearth products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 days of invoicing. Significant Judgments The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of funds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at the end of each year when sales volumes and the impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded as the programs typically do not extend multiple years. Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard has been applied to all contracts not completed as of December 30, 2017, the end of the Corporation’s fiscal 2017. The impact of the Corporation's transition adjustment for the new revenue recognition guidance was not material to the Corporation's results of operations or financial position. The additional disclosures required as a result of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance were material to the Corporation's financial statements. The Corporation elected the following accounting policies as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition: Shipping and Handling Activities - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control is transferred as fulfillment activities. The Corporation accrues for shipping and handling costs at the same time revenue is recognized, which is in accordance with the policy election. When shipping and handling activities occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the good(s), they are considered fulfillment activities rather than a performance obligation and the costs are accrued for as incurred. Sales Taxes - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority associated with the transaction, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows the Corporation to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes. The Corporation has elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition: Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 340-40-25-4, which permits an entity to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period will be less than one year. The Corporation will apply this practical expedient when the requirements to apply it are met. Significant Financing Component - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if a contract has a duration of one year or less. As the Corporation's contracts are typically less than one year in length, consideration will not be adjusted. Remaining Performance Obligation - The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancelable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in 606-10-50-14 not to disclose the remaining performance obligation. The backlog disclosed is typically fulfilled within one or two quarters.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Corporation implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , at the beginning of fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and are now implemented as of the first quarter 2019. Implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 increased retained earnings by $3.0 million . This included an increase of $3.3 million driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on a 2018 sale-leaseback directly into retained earnings partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million driven by the calculation of beginning right of use assets and lease liabilities. The Corporation recognized $73.8 million in right of use assets and $82.0 million in lease liabilities as a result of the implementation of this standard. The Corporation leases certain showrooms, office space, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, retail stores and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As none of the leases provide an implicit rate, the Corporation uses a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Corporation uses separate discount rates for its U.S. operations and overseas operations. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years . The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain real estate leases include an option to terminate the lease term earlier than the specified lease term for a fee. These options are not included as part of the lease term unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Many of the Corporation's real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. While not significant, certain equipment leases have variable lease payments based on machine hours and certain real estate leases have rate changes based on Consumer Price Index(CPI). The Corporation's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Corporation has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. On occasion, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. This sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases for office furniture showrooms and is not significant. Leases included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following (in thousands): Classification March 30, Assets Operating Operating lease assets $ 72,875 Finance Finance lease assets 50 Total leased assets $ 72,925 Liabilities Current Operating Current maturities of other long-term liabilities $ 22,698 Finance Current maturities of long-term debt and other liabilities 21 Non-current Operating Non-current operating lease liabilities 58,660 Finance Long-term debt and other borrowings 28 Total leased liabilities $ 81,407 Approximately 85 percent of the value of the leased assets is for real estate. The remaining 15 percent of the value of the leased assets is for equipment. Lease costs included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements on Comprehensive Income consisted of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended Classification March 30, Operating lease costs Fixed Cost of sales $ 518 Selling and administrative expenses 6,092 Short-term / variable Cost of sales 83 Selling and administrative expenses 215 Finance lease costs Amortization Cost of sales, selling and administrative, and interest expenses 4 Less: Sublease income (a) 38 Total lease costs $ 6,874 (a) Excludes rental income from owned properties of $0.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2019 , which is reflected in "Selling and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Maturity of lease liabilities is as follows (in thousands): Operating leases (a) Maturity of lease liabilities 2019 (remaining portion of year) $ 19,805 2020 22,176 2021 15,382 2022 10,301 2023 8,298 Thereafter 15,150 Total lease payments 91,112 Less: Interest 9,755 Present value of operating lease liabilities 81,357 Finance leases 2019 (remaining portion of year) - 2023 (b) 50 Total leases $ 81,407 (a) Operating lease payments include $1.6 million related to options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised and exclude $0.7 million of legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced. (b) At this time there are no finance lease options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. Currently the Corporation has $0.1 million of legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced. The following table summarizes the weighted-average remaining lease terms and weighted-average discount rates for operating and finance leases as of March 30, 2019 : Weighted-Average Discount Rate (percent) Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term (years) Operating leases 4.50 % 5.0 Finance leases 4.42 % 2.7 The following table summarizes cash paid for amounts included in the measurements of lease liabilities and the leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating and finance lease liabilities (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 30, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurements of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating / finance leases $ 6,411 Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 4 Leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating / finance lease liabilities $ 4,652 Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting the new standard on leases. It has been applied to all leases active on or after December 31, 2018, the start of the Corporation's fiscal year. The Corporation elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on leases: • The Corporation has made an accounting election by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of assets except for embedded leases. • The Corporation has elected not to restate 2017 and 2018 for the effects of the new standard. Required ASC 840 disclosures for periods prior to 2019 have been provided. • The Corporation has elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised. • The Corporation has elected for all asset classes to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that at the acquisition date have a remaining lease term of twelve months or less. Presented below are the final disclosures utilizing ASC 840 treatment which was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 : Commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable leases were as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases 2019 $ 24,387 2020 18,250 2021 13,324 2022 9,082 2023 6,228 Thereafter 10,469 Total minimum lease payments $ 81,740 There were no capitalized leases as of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 . Rent expense under ASC 840 was as follows (in thousands): 2018 2017 2016 Rent expense $ 31,027 $ 32,158 $ 35,288 There was no contingent rent expense under operating leases for the years 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 . As part of the Corporation's continued efforts to drive efficiency and simplification, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2018, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years . The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million were reflected in "Proceeds from sale and license of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in 2018. In accordance with ASC 840, Leases , the $5.1 million gain on the sale of the facility was deferred and was being amortized as a reduction to rent expense evenly over the term of the lease. In accordance with ASC 842, Lease Accounting, the remaining unamortized deferred gain related to the sale-leaseback as of December 29, 2018 was recognized directly in "Retained earnings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the first quarter of 2019
Leases	Leases The Corporation implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , at the beginning of fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and are now implemented as of the first quarter 2019. Implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 increased retained earnings by $3.0 million . This included an increase of $3.3 million driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on a 2018 sale-leaseback directly into retained earnings partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million driven by the calculation of beginning right of use assets and lease liabilities. The Corporation recognized $73.8 million in right of use assets and $82.0 million in lease liabilities as a result of the implementation of this standard. The Corporation leases certain showrooms, office space, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, retail stores and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As none of the leases provide an implicit rate, the Corporation uses a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Corporation uses separate discount rates for its U.S. operations and overseas operations. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years . The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain real estate leases include an option to terminate the lease term earlier than the specified lease term for a fee. These options are not included as part of the lease term unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Many of the Corporation's real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. While not significant, certain equipment leases have variable lease payments based on machine hours and certain real estate leases have rate changes based on Consumer Price Index(CPI). The Corporation's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Corporation has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. On occasion, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. This sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases for office furniture showrooms and is not significant. Leases included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following (in thousands): Classification March 30, Assets Operating Operating lease assets $ 72,875 Finance Finance lease assets 50 Total leased assets $ 72,925 Liabilities Current Operating Current maturities of other long-term liabilities $ 22,698 Finance Current maturities of long-term debt and other liabilities 21 Non-current Operating Non-current operating lease liabilities 58,660 Finance Long-term debt and other borrowings 28 Total leased liabilities $ 81,407 Approximately 85 percent of the value of the leased assets is for real estate.

It has been applied to all leases active on or after December 31, 2018, the start of the Corporation's fiscal year. The Corporation elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on leases: • The Corporation has made an accounting election by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of assets except for embedded leases. • The Corporation has elected not to restate 2017 and 2018 for the effects of the new standard. Required ASC 840 disclosures for periods prior to 2019 have been provided. • The Corporation has elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised. • The Corporation has elected for all asset classes to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that at the acquisition date have a remaining lease term of twelve months or less. Presented below are the final disclosures utilizing ASC 840 treatment which was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 : Commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable leases were as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases 2019 $ 24,387 2020 18,250 2021 13,324 2022 9,082 2023 6,228 Thereafter 10,469 Total minimum lease payments $ 81,740 There were no capitalized leases as of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 .

As part of the Corporation's continued efforts to drive efficiency and simplification, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2018, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years . The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million were reflected in "Proceeds from sale and license of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in 2018. In accordance with ASC 840, Leases , the $5.1 million gain on the sale of the facility was deferred and was being amortized as a reduction to rent expense evenly over the term of the lease. In accordance with ASC 842, Lease Accounting, the remaining unamortized deferred gain related to the sale-leaseback as of December 29, 2018 was recognized directly in "Retained earnings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the first quarter of 2019

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
Product Warranties	Product Warranties The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs. A warranty allowance is determined by recording a specific allowance for known warranty issues and an additional allowance for unknown issues expected to be incurred based on historical experience. Actual costs incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, Balance at beginning of period $ 15,450 $ 15,388 Accruals for warranties issued during period 5,718 5,992 Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties 89 68 Warranty issues resolved during the period (5,746 ) (6,010 ) Balance at end of period $ 15,511 $ 15,438 The current and long-term portions of the allowance for estimated warranty issues are reflected within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" and "Other Long-Term Liabilities", respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of $0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of $1.3 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 30, 2019 , there was $197 million outstanding under the $450 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility is considered long-term as the Corporation assumes no obligation to repay any of the amounts borrowed in the next twelve months. Based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization generation, the Corporation can access the full remaining $253 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants. In addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of daily operating capital for the Corporation and provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions and repurchases of common stock. In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has $100 million of borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreements, the Corporation issued $50 million of seven -year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22 percent , due May 31, 2025, and $50 million of ten -year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40 percent , due May 31, 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, and is amortizing them over the terms of the private placement note agreements. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreements. As of March 30, 2019 the debt issuance costs balance of $0.6 million is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The credit agreement and private placement notes both contain financial and non-financial covenants. The covenants under both are substantially the same. Non-compliance with covenants under the agreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, and/or increase the cost of borrowing. Covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including: • a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and • a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness 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. 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 items that increase or decrease net income. As of March 30, 2019 , the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in

On February 14, 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which provides entities an option to reclassify stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") within accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for each period in which the effects of the Act is recorded. The ASU 2018-02 does not modify the existing requirement to allocate the income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates directly to continuing operations as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Corporation adopted in Q1 2019 and applied the portfolio approach of accounting related to releasing income tax effects from AOCI.

All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and are now implemented as of the first quarter 2019. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial impacts, accounting elections, and further information. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The new standard allows entities to reclassify certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

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 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 between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses. These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations. 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, IT infrastructure, 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 Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, Net Sales: Office furniture $ 353,511 $ 380,915 Hearth products 125,945 124,154 Total $ 479,456 $ 505,069 Income Before Income Taxes: Office furniture $ (1,055 ) $ 84 Hearth products 17,609 17,114 General corporate (12,877 ) (13,512 ) Operating income 3,677 3,686 Interest expense, net 2,111 2,224 Total $ 1,566 $ 1,462 Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Office furniture $ 11,060 $ 10,986 Hearth products 2,056 1,962 General corporate 5,924 5,497 Total $ 19,040 $ 18,445 Capital Expenditures (including capitalized software): Office furniture $ 10,319 $ 11,577 Hearth products 4,998 2,938 General corporate 3,779 1,816 Total $ 19,096 $ 16,331 As of As of Identifiable Assets: Office furniture $ 840,160 $ 797,574 Hearth products 364,849 352,060 General corporate 218,387 252,210 Total $ 1,423,396 $ 1,401,844

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Revenue	Performance Obligations The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of office furniture and hearth products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 days of invoicing. Significant Judgments The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of funds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at the end of each year when sales volumes and the impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded as the programs typically do not extend multiple years. Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard has been applied to all contracts not completed as of December 30, 2017, the end of the Corporation’s fiscal 2017. The impact of the Corporation's transition adjustment for the new revenue recognition guidance was not material to the Corporation's results of operations or financial position. The additional disclosures required as a result of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance were material to the Corporation's financial statements. The Corporation elected the following accounting policies as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition: Shipping and Handling Activities - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control is transferred as fulfillment activities. The Corporation accrues for shipping and handling costs at the same time revenue is recognized, which is in accordance with the policy election. When shipping and handling activities occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the good(s), they are considered fulfillment activities rather than a performance obligation and the costs are accrued for as incurred. Sales Taxes - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority associated with the transaction, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows the Corporation to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes. The Corporation has elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition: Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 340-40-25-4, which permits an entity to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period will be less than one year. The Corporation will apply this practical expedient when the requirements to apply it are met. Significant Financing Component - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if a contract has a duration of one year or less. As the Corporation's contracts are typically less than one year in length, consideration will not be adjusted. Remaining Performance Obligation - The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancelable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in 606-10-50-14 not to disclose the remaining performance obligation. The backlog disclosed is typically fulfilled within one or two quarters.
Inventories	The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value with approximately 83 percent
Leases	The Corporation leases certain showrooms, office space, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, retail stores and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As none of the leases provide an implicit rate, the Corporation uses a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Corporation uses separate discount rates for its U.S. operations and overseas operations. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years . The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain real estate leases include an option to terminate the lease term earlier than the specified lease term for a fee. These options are not included as part of the lease term unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Many of the Corporation's real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. While not significant, certain equipment leases have variable lease payments based on machine hours and certain real estate leases have rate changes based on Consumer Price Index(CPI). The Corporation's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Corporation has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting the new standard on leases. It has been applied to all leases active on or after December 31, 2018, the start of the Corporation's fiscal year. The Corporation elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on leases: • The Corporation has made an accounting election by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of assets except for embedded leases. • The Corporation has elected not to restate 2017 and 2018 for the effects of the new standard. Required ASC 840 disclosures for periods prior to 2019 have been provided. • The Corporation has elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised. • The Corporation has elected for all asset classes to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that at the acquisition date have a remaining lease term of twelve months or less.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Impairment Analysis The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever indicators of impairment exist.
Product Warranties	The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.
Fair Value Measurements	For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, variable-rate and fixed-rate debt obligations, and deferred stock-based compensation.  The marketable securities are comprised of money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1.  Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans	The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes expense over the employees' requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expense is the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the shareholder approved stock-based compensation plans and shares issued under the shareholder approved member stock purchase plans.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases . The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019 and was implemented using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and are now implemented as of the first quarter 2019. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial impacts, accounting elections, and further information. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The new standard allows entities to reclassify certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The new standard improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. The standard requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for the previously recorded ineffectiveness included in retained earnings related to existing net investment hedges as of the date of adoption. The Corporation did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as no net investment hedges existed as of the ASU adoption date. New hedging relationships entered after the adoption date have been presented in the financial statements using the guidance of the ASU. The standard did not have a material effect on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Business 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 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 between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses. These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations. 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, IT infrastructure, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.
