Founded in 1934 in Archbold, Ohio, by Erie Sauder—a Mennonite cabinetmaker who began crafting small tables from leftover wood—Sauder Woodworking Co. is a pioneer of the ready-to-assemble furniture industry. The brand revolutionized home furnishings in 1951 by introducing the first patented "snap-together" table, establishing a flat-pack format that dramatically reduced shipping costs and made furniture more accessible to the masses. Today, Sauder remains a family-owned, third-generation business and one of the largest residential furniture manufacturers in the United States.
