These products include furniture systems, seating, storage, tables, architectural products, ancillary products, and hospitality products. They are primarily sold through a national network of independent dealers, office product distributors, e-commerce retailers, and wholesalers. The residential building products segment includes a full array of gas, wood, electric, and pellet-fueled fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, outdoor fire pits and fire tables, and accessories. These products are sold through independent dealers, distributors, and the company's own installing distribution and retail outlets.

HNI Corporation generates revenue by delivering compelling value products, solutions, and a high level of tailored customer service. The company competes with large workplace furnishings manufacturers such as MillerKnoll, Steelcase, Haworth, and Teknion, and with residential building products manufacturers such as Travis Industries, Innovative Hearth Products, and FPI Fireplace Products International.

The company's products are designed to meet the needs of these organizations, and it works closely with its customers to understand their requirements and deliver solutions that meet their needs.
