Reclining Chairs ?? Any manufacture make a good one?

If you read the fine print, Lazy-Boy will void the warranty if you sleep in it.

Even a quick nap? :laughing:

I have the exact same problem with my chair. Within a year the leather started breaking down and splitting. No warranty. We have leather La-Z-Boys that are 15 and about 30 years old and the leather is as good as new, must not be making the leather the same as they used to.

We have experienced the same with leather furniture. Must be a new type of of cow.

I remember a story one of the family members at our local Chinese restaurant told me. At the time the store in Portland opened for business, he went there and bought a couch. He went on to tell of the overwhelming store, all things they have and navigating through it all. But when he realized that he would have to put the couch together , that part freaked him out to the degree he returned it. Had to go back in the store..... I think I've been there twice when family from out of town wanted to go to the big city. Quite an organization. The guy who started it just died within the last couple of years. He lived very frugally.

I remember when that store opened near the airport in Portland. It was nuts.

i had to fly in and out twice a week or so, the traffic jam caused by the excited lkea shoppers was epic! They showed drone photos of the lines of cars on the local news.

I wonder if those were the same portlandia people that were going to minimize their material life styles?

I'm reading about recliners and all the sudden these ads for recliners start popping up. Isn't that a coincidence.

Do you really think that a store which would have yearly fire code inspections (in Alberta they do) would be able to get away with designing a store against the fire codes? I say this and then I see your "laughing symbol" so I guess there is the answer to my question.

If you are paying attention they are really not all that well hidden.

My wife and I have been to IKEA once. We were walking around looking and got ready to leave and we realized we had to either retrace our steps or keeping following the path to get out. We both decided once was enough.

Don't worry. The fire exits are clearly marked so just use one of those next time.

I have a 10 yo Big Man Lazy Boy and I put it through the paces. Just change a spring here and there and it should last another 5 years. 270# and rough.

I have a big Lazy Boy too, of about the same vintage. It broke twice while still under warranty. The third time I took it out to the shop, drilled out all the plastic press fittings, and replaced them with bolts. Since then it has worked pretty good. I have lost 60 lbs since I bought it, and am down to 250 now, so that may have something to do with it.

I am fortunate enough to be at my high school weight of 175 lbs so that must help mine.

Lazy Boy recliners have "reclined" quality wise in the last 10 years. We have two LB recliners. The first has held up reasonably well. The second, going on three years old now is just cheap and not in price. The mechanism has plastic structural parts. LB's warranty is worthless. One of the plastic parts broke. To have LB repair it would require a LB inspection fee and transport back to their facility. Okay, just send me the part and I'll repair it. Nope... yes the part is replaced under the warranty, but you have to pay $30 shipping and handling. And the parts are a pair. So I have an extra left side plastic part wire tied to the underside of the recliner. Arrow points to one of the plastic mechanism parts.

No LB recliner purchase again for this house.
