One needn't reside in the Pacific Palisades to outfit their home with Palliser Furniture. The company manufactures an array of mid-range residential furnishings, including bedroom suites, bookshelves, chairs, curios, desks, sofas, and tables. It operates through the units of Arconas, Casana, DeFehr Furniture, EQ3, and Palliser Upholstery. Although Palliser's products are sold by retailers across North America and about 25 other countries, the US accounts for about three-fourths of its wholesale income. The company was founded by Abram DeFehr in 1944 and remains family owned and operated. In 2009 DeFehr Furniture filed for CCAA lender protection.
