No, they’re very bad quality now. I bought a nice looking leather reclining chair and sofa from them about eight years ago. After three years, the “leather” started peeling. They both look like absolute garbage now. Their service is also non-existent. I tried to have them fix it under warranty but they blamed it on me, claiming that I must have used a cleaner on it (I did not) or that I had greasy hair (???). I had, however, purchased their extended warranty, so I contacted the company that ran the extended warranty who also refused to fix it because they said it was a manufacturer defect. So they don’t stand behind their product or their extended warranty. Terrible company.

You will get lots of recommendations from people who have old La-Z-Boy pieces, grew up with La-Z-Boy, etc. Old La-Z-Boy were built well, using stick built solid wood frames. New La-Z-Boy, since the last 20 years or so are no longer built that way. About 20 years ago they totally changed their manufacturing methods utilizing computer controlled routers and cutting all the parts out of sheets of plywood. The machines can cut the pieces quickly and in a very precise and consistent way. The precision cut pieces are much easier to assemble into furniture. The benefit to La-Z-Boy was greatly reduced labor and therefore assembly cost. Unfortunately, the plywood kit frames are not as durable as the original solid wood ones were. I know these details because I was a part of the project as a vendor. This method has subsequently become the industry standard in high production manufacturers. If you want furniture with a traditionally built frame, you will have to seek that out specifically. More on reddit.com

From where I am sitting (LOL) Lazy Boy hands down. I'm sitting in a stupid power recliner. Never ever get a power recliner. It takes 3 minutes just to get in the unreclined position. Stupidest invention to humanity in that aspect. When the power goes out..you have to climb out of the chair. When someone comes knocking on the door, it takes 3 minutes (exaggerating slightly) to get to the door. I miss my lazy boy that I bought myself when I was 30. More on reddit.com

To all the snarky responders here, a reminder that the failure mode of clever is asshole. And you all failed. You think OP doesn't know he's overweight? You think he hasn't heard from doctors, family, society at large? You think he hasn't tried? Do you know anything about OP's history? Give OP the help he's looking for or or shut up and crawl back under your slimy rock. More on reddit.com
