Ashley Furniture, available at ROC City Furniture in Rochester, NY, is a renowned American home furnishings manufacturer and retailer.

In 1970, Ashley invested in the Wisconsin-based Arcadia Furniture, leading to a significant expansion. By the mid-1980s, Ashley had diversified its product line to include about 350 different furniture items, focusing more on products aimed at middle-income buyers.
