Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents.

(“the company”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Management believes the disclosures made in this document are adequate with respect to interim reporting requirements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of November 27, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six-month period ended November 27, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 28, 2011.

| Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted. The company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company. In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)-Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. ASU 2009-16 revises previous authoritative guidance related to accounting for transfers of financial assets, and requires more disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2009-16 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810)-Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2009-17 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. ASU 2009-17 also requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities including the effect on financial statements and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. The company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2009-17 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. |

| Common Stock and Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS).
Options to purchase 2,484,617 and 2,860,260 shares of common stock for the three months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 2,444,609 and 2,814,364 shares of common stock for the six months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The company grants restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain key employees which are included in the denominator for diluted EPS. Each restricted stock unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock to be awarded, free of restrictions, after the vesting period. However, these shares do not entitle participants to the rights of shareholders of common stock, such as voting rights, and they are forfeitable at all times prior to the vesting date. Dividend-equivalent awards are credited and accumulate quarterly and are forfeitable at all times until vested. On June 24, 2009 the company acquired Nemschoff Chairs, LLC (Nemschoff) and established liabilities for contingent consideration related to the acquisition. This contingent consideration may be settled in cash or stock at the discretion of the company and, therefore, any income or loss associated with adjustments to these liabilities is excluded from the numerator when computing diluted earnings per share. The number of shares required to settle the contingent consideration are included in the denominator of potentially dilutive shares. |

| Share-based Compensation [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). Compensation costs related to the company's stock-based compensation plans resulted in an expense of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the three month periods ending November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively. The related income tax benefit was $0.4 million for both three-month periods. For the six months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, compensation costs were $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The related income tax benefit for the respective six-month periods was $0.7 million and $0.8 million. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, as it is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience. Stock Option Plans The company has stock option plans under which options to purchase the company's stock are granted to employees and non-employee directors and officers at a price not less than the market price of the company's common stock on the date of grant. Under the current award program, all options become exercisable between one year and three years from date of grant and expire two to ten years from date of grant. The options are subject to graded vesting with the related compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. In determining these values, the following weighted-average assumptions were used for the periods indicated.
(1) Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the same period as the expected option term. (2) Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the company has determined that all employee groups typically exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. (3) Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the company's common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options. The company also utilizes a market-based or “implied volatility” measure, on exchange-traded options in the company's common stock, as a reference in determining this assumption. (4) Represents the company's estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of options. (5) No stock options were granted during the three months ended November 28, 2009. Therefore, there are no valuation assumptions. Restricted Stock Grants The company periodically grants restricted common stock to certain key employees. Shares are granted in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a shareholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. The grants are subject to either cliff-based or graded vesting over a period not to exceed five years, and are subject to forfeiture if the employee ceases to be employed by the company for certain reasons. After the vesting period, the risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transferability lapse. The company recognizes the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Restricted Stock Units The company grants restricted stock units to certain key employees. This program provides that the actual number of restricted stock units awarded is based on the value of a portion of the participants long-term incentive compensation divided by the fair market value of the company stock on the date of grant. In some years the awards have been partially tied to the company's financial performance for the year in which the grant was based. The awards generally cliff-vest after a three-year service period, with prorated vesting under certain circumstances and continued vesting into retirement. Each restricted stock unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock to be awarded, free of restrictions, after the vesting period. Compensation expense related to these awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which includes any applicable performance period. Dividend equivalent awards are granted quarterly. The units do not entitle participants the rights of shareholders of common stock, such as voting rights until shares are issued after the vesting period. Performance Share Units The company has previously granted performance share units to certain key employees, none of which were granted prior to fiscal 2008. The number of units initially awarded was based on the value of a portion of the participant's long-term incentive compensation, divided by the fair value of the company's common stock on the date of grant. Each unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock. The number of common shares ultimately issued in connection with these performance share units is determined based on the company's financial performance over the related three-year service period. Compensation expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value and the number of common shares projected to be issued, and is recognized over the requisite service period. Employee Stock Purchase Program Under the terms of the company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, four million shares of authorized common stock were reserved for purchase by plan participants at 85.0 percent of the market price. The company recognizes pre-tax compensation expense related to the market value discount. |

| Fair Value, Assets Measured on Recurring Basis [Text Block] | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities, and for its non-financial assets and liabilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, neither had a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. ASC Topic 820 provides a comprehensive framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and related disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Topic sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the use of inputs in valuation techniques. This Topic defines levels within the hierarchy as follows: • Level 1— Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. • Level 2 — Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. Financial instrument values are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms and direct or indirect observational inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals. • Level 3 — Financial instruments not actively traded on a market exchange and there is little, if any, market activity. Values are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques. The following describes the methods the company uses to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, to which there have been no significant changes in the current period: Available-for-sale securities — The company's Level 2 available-for-sale marketable securities primarily include asset-backed debt securities and corporate debt securities and are valued using quoted prices for similar securities. Interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts — The company's Level 2 interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts values are determined using a market approach based on rates obtained from active markets. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The company's Level 2 foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using an approach based on foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets. The estimated fair value of forward currency exchange contracts is based on month-end spot rates as adjusted by market-based current activity. The following tables set forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010.
The following is a summary of the carrying and market values of the company's marketable securities as of the respective dates.
The company's portfolio of marketable securities is primarily comprised of investment grade fixed-income securities and market-indexed equity based mutual funds. These investments are held by the company's wholly-owned insurance captive and are considered “available-for-sale” as defined in ASC Topic 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC Topic 320”). Accordingly, they have been recorded at fair market value based on quoted market prices, with the resulting net unrealized holding gains or losses reflected, net of tax, as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). Net investment income recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from these investments was negligible and $0.2 million for the three month periods ending November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively. Net investment income recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from these investments was negligible and $0.3 million for the six month periods ending November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively. Topic 320 provides guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The company reviews its fixed income and equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the company's intent to hold the investments, and whether it is more likely than not that the company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the company could incur future impairments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the company determined that certain debt securities had other-than-temporarily impaired assets in the amount of $0.8 million. Of these losses, $0.4 million were determined to be credit-related and were, therefore, recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, “Other Expenses (Income): Other, net” line item. The remainder of the impairment is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The following is a summary of the credit loss component of the company's debt securities that have been written down for other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) with the credit loss component recognized in earnings and the remaining impairment loss related to all other factors recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss:
Maturities of debt securities included in marketable securities as of November 27, 2010, are as follows.

| Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | OPERATING SEGMENTS The company is comprised of two primary operating segments as defined by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting: North American Furniture Solutions and non-North American Furniture Solutions. Effective for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, management has modified the company's segment reporting in order to better align with changes made in the second quarter to the organizational and management reporting structure. Specifically, the company is now reporting operations in Mexico within its non-North American Furniture Solutions operating segment. Prior year results have been revised to reflect this change. The North American Furniture Solutions segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products for work-related settings, including office, education, and healthcare environments, throughout the United States and Canada. The business associated with the company's owned contract furniture dealers is also included in the North American Furniture Solutions segment. The non-North American Furniture Solutions segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products, primarily for work-related settings, for Mexico and outside of North America. The company also reports an “Other” category consisting primarily of its North American Home and startup businesses and certain unallocated corporate expenses. North American Home includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products for residential settings in the United States, and Canada. This category also includes restructuring and impairment costs. The performance of the operating segments is evaluated by the company's management using various financial measures. The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective fiscal periods indicated:
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those of the company. Additionally, the company employs a methodology for allocating corporate costs and assets with the underlying objective of this methodology being to allocate corporate costs according to the relative usage of the underlying resources and to allocate corporate assets according to the relative expected benefit. The company has determined that allocation based on relative net sales is most appropriate for all expenses. The majority of corporate costs are allocated to the operating segments; however, certain costs generally considered the result of isolated business decisions are not subject to allocation and are evaluated separately from the rest of the regular ongoing business operations. For example, restructuring charges that are reflected in operating earnings are allocated to the “Other” category. |

Note 13. Long Term Debt

| Long-term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract] | |
| Long-term Debt [Text Block] | LONG TERM DEBT In January 2008, the company issued a total of $200 million in senior unsecured private placement notes. Notes in the principal amount of $150 million bear interest at 6.42 percent and are due in January 2018. The remaining $50 million in private placement notes bear interest at 5.94 percent and are due in January 2015. Related interest payments are due semi-annually. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010 the company renegotiated the syndicated revolving line of credit, reducing availability from $250 million to $150 million, while giving the company additional covenant flexibility. This facility expires in June 2012 and outstanding borrowings bear interest at rates based on the prime rate, federal funds rate, LIBOR, or negotiated rates as outlined in the agreement. Interest is payable periodically throughout the period a borrowing is outstanding. As of November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010, total usage against this facility was $9.4 million and $11.2 million respectively, all of which related to outstanding letters of credit. In March 2001, the company sold publicly registered debt securities totaling $175 million. These senior notes mature on March 15, 2011 and bear an annual interest rate of 7.125 percent, with interest payments due semi-annually. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we completed the repurchase of $75 million of the registered debt securities. In addition to improving our covenant metrics this action reduced our interest expense run rate by approximately $1.3 million per quarter. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the company signed an agreement to refinance $50 million of the remaining $100 million of these debt securities through the issuance of a 10-year private placement note. This will satisfy the company's near-term liquidity requirements and enable a net reduction in outstanding debt requirements. Our senior notes and the unsecured senior revolving credit facility restrict, without prior consent, our borrowings, capital leases, and the sale of certain assets. In addition, we have agreed to maintain certain financial performance ratios, which include a maximum leverage ratio covenant, which is measured by the ratio of debt to trailing four quarter adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) and is required to be less than 3.5:1, and a minimum interest coverage ratio, which is measured by the ratio of trailing four quarter EBITDA to trailing four quarter interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement) and is required to be greater than 4:1. Adjusted EBITDA is generally defined in the credit agreement to adjust EBITDA by certain items which include non-cash, share-based compensation, non-recurring restructuring costs, adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities and extraordinary items. At November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010, we were in compliance with all applicable restrictions and performance ratios and anticipate remaining so for the foreseeable future. The company previously entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreement, which expires on March 15, 2011, that effectively converted $50 million of fixed-rate debt securities to a floating-rate basis. The fair value of this swap instrument, which is based upon expected LIBOR rates over the remaining term of the instrument, was approximately $0.6 million at November 27, 2010, and is reflected as an addition to current liabilities and an offsetting addition to current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 29, 2010, the fair value of approximately $1.2 million is reflected as an addition to current liabilities and an offsetting addition to other current assets. The floating interest rate for this agreement is based on the six-month LIBOR, set in-arrears at the end of each semi-annual period, which is estimated to be 3.4 percent and 3.8 percent at November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010, respectively. The interest rate resets during the second and fourth quarter of each fiscal year; the company does not anticipate future rate changes to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. As of November 27, 2010, a total of $50.0 million of the company's outstanding debt was effectively converted to a variable-rate basis as a result of the remaining interest rate swap arrangement. This swap is a fair-value hedge and qualifies for hedge-accounting treatment using the “short-cut” method under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”). Under this accounting treatment, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is equal to the change in value of the related hedged debt and, as a result, there is no net effect on earnings. This agreement requires the company to pay floating- rate interest payments in return for receiving fixed-rate interest payments that coincide with the semi-annual payments to the debt holders at the same date. The counterparty to this swap instrument is a large financial institution which the company believes is of high-quality creditworthiness. While the company may be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by this counterparty, such losses are not anticipated. The impact of the swap arrangement on interest expense was a reduction of $0.4 million for the three-month periods ending November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, respectively. The impact of the swap arrangement on interest expense was a reduction of $0.9 million for the six-month periods ending November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009. |

| ContingenciesAndGuaranteesDisclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ContingenciesAndGuaranteesDisclosure [Text Block] | GUARANTEES, INDEMNIFICATIONS, AND CONTINGENCIES Product Warranties The company provides warranty coverage to the end-user for parts and labor on products sold. The standard length of warranty is 12 years; however, this varies depending on the product classification. The company does not sell or otherwise issue warranties or warranty extensions as stand-alone products. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the company's warranty program and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under “Other accrued liabilities.” General warranty reserves are based on historical claims experience and other currently available information. These reserves are adjusted once an issue is identified and the actual cost of correction becomes known or can be estimated.
Other Guarantees The company is periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to do business with certain customers. These arrangements are common and generally have terms ranging between one and three years. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. The bonds are provided by various bonding agencies; however, the company is ultimately liable for claims that may occur against them. As of November 27, 2010, the company had a maximum financial exposure related to performance bonds totaling approximately $17.8 million. The company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to pay under any of these arrangements. The company also believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010. The company has entered into standby letter of credit arrangements for the purpose of protecting various insurance companies against default on the payment of certain premiums and claims. A majority of these arrangements are related to the company's wholly-owned captive insurance company. As of November 27, 2010, the company had a maximum financial exposure from these standby letters of credit totaling approximately $9.4 million. The company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010. Contingencies The company leases a facility in the U.K. under an agreement that will expire in June 2011. Under the terms of the lease, the company is required to perform the maintenance and repairs necessary to address the general dilapidation of the facility. The ultimate cost of this provision to the company is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the future use of the facility by the lessor and whether the company chooses and is permitted to renew the lease term. The company has estimated the cost of these maintenance and repairs to be between $0 and $3 million, depending on the outcome of future plans and negotiations. As a result, an estimated liability of $1.2 million and $1.1 million has been recorded as a liability reflected under the caption “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at November 27, 2010, and May 29, 2010, respectively. The company has an additional lease obligation in the U.K. until May 2014 for a facility that it previously exited. The estimated liability of $1.6 million and $1.5 million is reflected under the caption “Other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at November 27, 2010 and May 29, 2010, respectively. The company, for a number of years, has sold various products to the United States Government under General Services Administration (“GSA”) multiple award schedule contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, the GSA is permitted to audit the company's compliance with the GSA contracts. The company has occasionally noted errors in complying with contract provisions. From time to time the company has notified the GSA of known instances of non-compliance (whether favorable or unfavorable to the company) once such circumstances are identified and investigated. The company does not believe that any of the errors brought to the GSA's attention will adversely affect its relationship with the GSA. Currently there are no GSA post-award audits either scheduled or in process. Management does not expect resolution of potential future audits to have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial statements. The company is also involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not materially affect the company's consolidated financial statements. |

| Current Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Continuing Operations [Abstract] | |
| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES The effective tax rates for the three months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, were 32.0 percent and 34.0 percent, respectively. For the six months ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, the effective tax rates were 31.3 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The company's United States federal statutory rate is 35.0 percent. The effective rate in the current year is below the statutory rate primarily due to the manufacturing deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA) and foreign tax credits recognized related to a dividend paid. The effective tax rate in the prior year was below the statutory rate primarily due to the reduction of uncertain tax benefits reserve following the closure of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit for the fiscal years 2005 through 2008, the manufacturing deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the Research and Development Credit. The company has income tax accruals associated with uncertain tax benefits totaling $1.9 million and $3.8 million as of November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, respectively. The company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits through income tax expense in its statement of operations. Interest and penalties recognized in the company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six-month periods ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009 were a negligible expense of $0.2 million and a benefit of $0.2 million, respectively. As of November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009, the company's recorded liability for potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits totaled $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits. Tax payments related to these audits, if any, are not expected to be material to the company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2007. Subsequent to November 27, 2010, Congress extended the Research and Development tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2010. The company estimates this extension will create a $0.9 million tax benefit in future periods. |

The company is currently evaluating what additional voluntary contributions, if any, will be made to its various employee retirement plans in fiscal 2011. While it is difficult to know what funding will be needed due to the complex nature of the variables involved in calculating funding requirements and the volatility of these variables in the market, the company currently estimates additional funding for the primary domestic benefit plan of up to $6.1 million during the remainder of fiscal 2011. |

| AcquisitionsAndDispositionsDisclosure [Text Block] | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Nemschoff On June 24, 2009, the company acquired all of the outstanding equity ownership interest of Nemschoff Chairs, LLC (Nemschoff) a Sheboygan, Wisconsin based manufacturer, with additional manufacturing capabilities in Sioux Center, Iowa. Nemschoff manufactures healthcare furnishings, with an emphasis on seating products for patient rooms, patient treatment areas, and public spaces such as lobbies and waiting areas. Nemschoff also serves the higher education and office markets. The company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.1 million and $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and first quarter of fiscal 2010, respectively. These expenses are included in the Statement of Operations, Operating Expenses line item. The purchase price for Nemschoff, which represents the estimated fair value of consideration transferred as of the acquisition date, consisted of the following:
The fair value of the common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the company's common stock on the acquisition date. There are two forms of contingent consideration provided to the sellers, a success fee and contingent value rights (CVRs), both of which are included in the balance sheet in the current liabilities, other accrued liabilities line item. The contingent liabilities are presented net of a $6.9 million note receivable that was issued by the sellers in exchange for cash at the acquisition date, and is payable only to the extent it can be offset against the contingent consideration. The success fee payment may range between $0 and $25 million based on performance from June 2010 through May 2011. Any payment due may be settled in the form of cash or stock at the company's discretion. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the success fee was $14.4 million and as of November 27, 2010, the success fee was valued at $5.6 million, with the change in value reflected within “Operating expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the success fee is estimated based on projected revenues for fiscal 2011. These projections were based on sales and order performance through the second quarter of fiscal 2011, growth expectations, as well as assumptions on winning future projects. The projected revenue performance and resulting payout will be impacted by general economic conditions, health care reform legislation and the company's project win rate. There is a CVR for each of the 2,041,666 shares of common stock issued in the transaction. Each CVR entitles the holder to compensation in the event that the company's share price is below $24.00 per share at June 30, 2011. A floor price of $13.28 per share has been established that provides a maximum payout of $10.72 per share to be paid at the time of share redemption. Any payment due may be settled in the form of cash or stock at the company's discretion. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the CVRs was $16.3 million and as of November 27, 2010, the CVRs were valued at $9.8 million with the change in value reflected within “Operating expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011, approximately 340,000 shares of the company's common stock relating to the CVR were sold on exchange in excess of $24/share, which reduces the obligation by approximately $1.6 million. The fair value of the CVRs is estimated using a Black-Scholes model which uses several key assumptions, including the current share price of the company. The fair value estimate of the CVRs is calculated at the end of each quarter. The following key assumptions were used to determine the fair value as of the respective date.
The note receivable received in exchange for cash was offset against the contingent liability recorded within Other accrued liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Allocation of the purchase price resulted in acquired assets and liabilities assumed consisting of the following:
The fair values and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition date consisted of the following:
Nemschoff is included in the company's North American segment; therefore, all of the goodwill recorded in the acquisition has been allocated to that segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. Substantially all of the goodwill is amortizable for income tax purposes. CBS On April 6, 2010, the company acquired all the outstanding equity interest in Colebrook Bosson Saunders, (CBS) a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of ergonomic work tools with headquarters located in London, England and additional showrooms in New York and Australia. CBS has annualized net sales of approximately $15 million during the company's last fiscal year. Cash used for the acquisition of CBS was approximately $14.4 million. Additionally, CBS may be entitled to contingent consideration in the form of performance-based payments in the range of zero and $14.1 million, payable in British pound sterling, that would be earned over the next five years. The contingent consideration is based on a combination of attained revenue and profitability targets. The contingent consideration is included in the balance sheet in the long-term liabilities, other liabilities line item. Any payment due will be settled in cash. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.9 million. As of November 27, 2010, the contingent consideration value was $3.0 million with $1.6 million recorded as a current liability and $1.4 million recorded as a long-term liability. Any change in value due to change in estimates will be reflected within “Operating expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The purchase price for CBS, which represents the estimated fair value of consideration transferred as of the acquisition date, consisted of the following:
The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Allocation of the purchase price resulted in acquired assets and liabilities assumed consisting of the following:
The fair values and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition date consisted of the following:
The majority of CBS operations are included in the company's non-North American segment; therefore, the majority of the goodwill recorded in the acquisition has been allocated to that segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies through the company's dealer network and the assembled workforce. The company expects substantially all of the goodwill to be amortizable for income tax purposes. |

| Schedule of Restructuring and Related Costs [Text Block] | RESTRUCTURING PLAN 2009 Action During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the company executed a restructuring plan (“the 2009 Plan”) that reduced operating expenses in order to improve operating performance, profitability and further enhance productivity and efficiencies. The 2009 Plan eliminated approximately 1,400 salaried, hourly and temporary positions, primarily in the North American Furniture Solutions segment. A number of these employees were offered termination benefits, including severance and outplacement services. Additionally, the company consolidated facilities and exited leased buildings. In connection with these actions, the company recognized $28.4 million and $1.3 million of pre-tax charges during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010, respectively. The Plan was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 for the 2009 Plan.
Manufacturing Consolidation In May and June 2009, the company announced a plan (“the Manufacturing Consolidation Plan”) to consolidate manufacturing operations with the closure of its Integrated Metal Technologies (IMT) subsidiary in Spring Lake, Michigan and Brandrud facility in Auburn, Washington. Under this plan for the IMT closure, the company retained existing West Michigan production capacity and enhanced operational efficiency, with the majority of work and equipment move to other newer, larger facilities in the area. Relocation began during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, with final closure completed in the fourth quarter. For the Brandrud closure, the company further consolidated manufacturing operations with the transfer of substantially all of the manufacturing capabilities of Brandrud to its Nemschoff manufacturing plants. The anticipated cost for this action is $12.6 million with approximately $2.0 million, $9.7 million, and $0.9 million of these costs having been recognized in fiscal 2009, fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2011, respectively. We do not anticipate any further significant costs for this action. The remaining accrued costs will be paid for with cash generated from operations during fiscal 2011. The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 for the Manufacturing Consolidation Plan.
2010 Action During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the company executed a restructuring plan (“the 2010 Plan”) that reduced operating expenses in order to improve operating performance, profitability and further enhance productivity. This Plan reduced our salaried workforce, primarily in North America, by approximately 70 employees. This Plan resulted in expenses of approximately $3.2 million during fiscal 2010 and $2.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2011. We do not anticipate significant costs in future periods for this Plan. The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 for the 2010 Plan.
In addition to the fiscal 2010 restructuring expenses noted above, the 2010 Plan included an impairment of certain assets totaling $2.5 million during fiscal 2010 that were related to our Convia line of business. These assets related to products that we determined had no anticipated future revenue stream to the company. These charges have been reflected separately as restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring expenses are reflected in the reportable operating segments in the “Other” category (see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements). |

| General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 815 Derivative and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”). The adoption had no financial impact on our consolidated financial statements and only required additional financial statement disclosures. The requirements of ASC Topic 815 have been applied on a prospective basis. Accordingly, disclosures related to interim periods prior to the date of adoption have not been presented. Interest Rate Swap Agreements We have used interest rate swaps in order for a portion of interest bearing debt to be variable, which matches interest expense with our business cycle. As of November 27, 2010, the company has one interest rate swap agreement that has the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with a portion of our public debt securities due March 15, 2011 so that the interest payable on the senior notes effectively becomes variable at a rate set to the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.65 percent. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreement and a component of the public debt securities match, including the notional amounts, interest rate reset dates, maturity dates and underlying market indices. Accordingly, as of November 27, 2010, a total of $50.0 million of the company's outstanding debt was effectively converted to a variable-rate basis as a result of the interest rate swap arrangement. This swap is a fair-value hedge and qualifies for hedge-accounting treatment, whereby the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is equal to the change in value of the related hedged debt and, as a result, there is no net effect on earnings. The agreement requires the company to pay floating-rate interest payments in return for receiving fixed-rate interest payments that coincide with the semi-annual payments to the debt holders at the same date. The periodic interest settlements, which occur at the same interval as the public debt securities, are recorded as interest expense. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, the company's strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from net liability or asset exposures in non-local currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries. These foreign currency forward contracts generally settle within 90 days and are not used for trading purposes. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of the reporting period in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in fair value recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The balance sheet classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is within current assets for unrealized gains and within current liabilities for unrealized losses. The statement of operations classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is “Other Expenses (Income): Other, net”, for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. As of November 27, 2010, the company utilized forward contracts to offset various currency exposures. See our discussion under Item 3, Foreign Exchange Risk, for additional detail. The effect of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six month periods ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009 is income of $0.2 million, respectively.
