| Allowance for Credit Losses | Note 2: Allowance for Credit Losses As of July 27, 2013, we had gross notes receivable of $7.6 million outstanding from eight customers, with a corresponding allowance for credit losses of $1.7 million. We have collateral from these customers in the form of inventory and/or real estate to support the net carrying value of these notes. We do not accrue interest income on these notes receivable, but we record interest income when it is received. Of the $7.6 million in notes receivable as of July 27, 2013, $1.0 million is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months, and was categorized as receivables in our consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the notes receivable and the entire allowance for credit losses were categorized as other long-term assets.

| Product Warranties | Note 6: Product Warranties We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties at the time the revenue is recognized. We estimate future warranty claims based on claim experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. Our liability estimates incorporate the cost of repairs including materials consumed, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform the repair and any costs associated with delivery of the repaired product to the customer. Over 90% of our warranty liability relates to our Upholstery segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and up to a lifetime on certain mechanisms and frames. Labor costs relating to our parts are warrantied for one year from the date of purchase by the end customer. Considerable judgment is used in making our estimates. Differences between actual and estimated costs are recorded when the differences are known. A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability for the three months ended July 27, 2013, and July 28, 2012, is as follows:
As of July 27, 2013, and April 27, 2013, $9.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of our product warranty liability was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, with the remainder included in other long-term liabilities.

| Stock-Based Compensation | Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation The table below summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense recognized for all outstanding grants in our consolidated statement of income:
The table below summarizes the grants made during the first quarter of fiscal 2014:
Stock Options. We granted 174,595 stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Compensation expense for stock options is equal to the fair value on the date the award was approved and is recognized over the vesting period. The vesting period for our stock options ranges from one to four years. Options granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed immediately because they vest upon retirement. The fair value for the employee stock options granted was estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of our common shares. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the stock option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination trends. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was calculated using the following assumptions:
Stock Appreciation Rights. We granted 141,546 stock appreciation rights to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. SARs will be paid in cash upon vesting and as such are accounted for as liability-based awards that will be remeasured to reflect the fair value at the end of each reporting period. These awards vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years. The fair value for the SARs is estimated at the end of each period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the SARs and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination trends (which is consistent with the expected life of our option awards). The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life assumed at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of the SARs granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was remeasured at July 27, 2013, using the following assumptions:
Restricted Stock Units. We granted 122,007 restricted stock units to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. These units are accounted for as liability-based awards because upon vesting these awards will be paid in cash. Compensation expense is initially measured and recognized based on the market value (intrinsic value) of our common stock on the grant date and amortized over the vesting period. The liability is remeasured and adjusted based on the market value (intrinsic value) of our common shares on the last day of the reporting period until paid with a corresponding adjustment to reflect the cumulative amount of compensation expense. The fair value of the restricted stock units at July 27, 2013, was $20.34. Each restricted stock unit is the equivalent of one common share. Restricted stock units vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years. Performance Awards. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we granted 35,083 performance-based units and 191,410 performance-based shares, both of which have performance (80% of grants) and market-based (20% of grants) vesting provisions. The performance award opportunity ranges from 50% of the employee’s target award if minimum performance requirements are met to a maximum of 200% of the target award based on the attainment of certain financial goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years. These performance awards are offered at no cost to the employees. The performance-based units are accounted for as liability-based awards because upon vesting they will be paid in cash. For performance-based units that vest based on performance conditions, the fair value of each unit was $19.86, which was the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reporting period less expected dividends to be paid prior to vesting, and compensation cost is expensed based on the probability that the performance goals will be obtained. For performance-based units that vest based on market conditions, the fair value of the award was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the last day of the reporting period, and compensation cost is expensed over the vesting period. The liability for these units was remeasured and adjusted based on the Monte Carlo valuation at the end of each reporting period until paid. Based on the Monte Carlo valuation, the fair value of each performance-based unit that vests based on market conditions was $27.78 at July 27, 2013. The performance-based shares are accounted for as equity-based awards because upon vesting they will be settled in common shares. The grant date fair value of performance-based shares is expensed over the service period. For performance-based shares that vest based on performance conditions, the fair value of each share was $18.58, which was the market value of our common shares on the date of grant less expected dividends to be paid prior to vesting, and compensation cost is expensed based on the probability that the performance goals will be obtained. For performance-based shares that vest based on market conditions, the fair value of each share was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date of grant, and compensation cost is expensed over the vesting period, regardless of the ultimate vesting of the award, similar to the expensing of a stock option award. The fair value for each performance-based share that vests based on market conditions, as determined by the Monte Carlo valuation, was $26.08 at the grant date. |

| Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Note 10: Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 35.5% compared to 37.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Our effective tax rate varies from the 35% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, and the mix of earnings in other foreign jurisdictions for which the statutory rate varies. Our consolidated balance sheet at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 reflected a $1.4 million net liability for uncertain income tax positions. It is reasonably possible that $0.2 million of this liability will be settled within the next 12 months. The remaining balance will be paid or released as tax audits are completed or settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available. |

| Earnings per Share [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings per Share | Note 11: Earnings per Share Certain share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends prior to vesting are considered participating securities. We grant restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares; as participating securities, the unvested shares are required to be included in the calculation of our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
Contingent common shares reflect the dilutive effect of common shares that would be issued under the terms of performance-based share grants made to employees, assuming the reporting period was the performance period. We had outstanding options to purchase 0.1 million shares for the quarter ended July 27, 2013, with a weighted average exercise price of $20.85, and outstanding options to purchase 0.4 million shares for the quarter ended July 28, 2012, with a weighted average exercise price of $21.55. We excluded the effect of these options from the diluted share calculation since, for each period presented, the weighted average exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price, and including the options’ effect would have been anti-dilutive. |

| Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurements | Note 12: Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which they occur. In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-financial assets such as trade names, goodwill, and other long-lived assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 27, 2013, and April 27, 2013:
At July 27, 2013, and April 27, 2013, we held available-for-sale marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, as well as trading securities to fund future obligations of our executive deferred compensation plan. The fair value measurements for our securities are based upon quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs. |
