As a new introduction to La-Z-Boy as of fall 2020, the Alani is currently only available as a sectional.
If you are looking to enhance your home seating arrangement with shared comfort and a customizable design, the Alani Sectional may be exactly what you are looking for.
Read on for a comprehensive review of the Alani Sectional to determine if it is for you!
Unique Features
Racha Pharaon, a design consultant from La-Z-Boy Kanata, says that the style of the Alani sectional is the perfect combination of modern and classic design. Its clean lines and simple silhouette portray modern characteristics while the traditional rounded arms and the plush back cushion keep it slightly classic.
The shape, style, and design of the Alani Sectional is very comparable to the La-Z-Boy’s Paxton Sectional, according to Racha.
Alani’s popular rolled arms, welt trim, and decorative wood legs give the sectional a stylish appeal. Further, 20-inch accent pillows with welt trim only enhance the overall comfort and style of the Alani.
Hosting high-grade foam seat cushions, the Alani offers plenty of support. Racha says the cushions have a firmness to them, while still providing a comforting softness. Personal comfort aside, the appearance of the Alani cushions are maintained with double-picked blown fiber fill for long-lasting shape retention.
Size & Dimensions
According to Racha, the size of the Alani sectional is very adjustable depending on the sectional configuration you choose.
With strategic use of a starter configuration and sectional pieces, the Alani sectional can comfortably fit into both small or large spaces.
Configuration options will be discussed in more depth within the Options & Upgrades section of this article.
When it comes to the size of the Alani seat, the Alani features deep seats and a low back. More specifically, the Alani seat is 49 inches deep and 21.5 inches high.
Considering these dimensions, the Alani sectional is best suited for a taller person in the seated position. With this being said, the deep seats of the Alani are perfect for individuals of all heights to lay down and snuggle upon.
While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. The way you sit in a furniture item can drastically affect how someone might find a seat comfortable.
This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Alani is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find the Right Sofa Size For You.

Options & Upgrades
At La-Z-Boy, everything is customizable, including the Alani Sectional. You can make the sectional uniquely yours by customizing the fabric, seat cushions, contrasting trims, and accent pillows. Additionally, you can choose the configuration of your Alani Sectional.
Fabric Options
The cover that you choose is crucial in determining the overall look and feel of the Alani Sectional.
The Alani has no leather options. Due to the large seat size and backs, the leather would need to be cut into sewn strips, making it challenging to meet La-Z-Boy’s upholstery standards.
Instead, the Alani is available in over 300 fabrics. Of this wide variety, there are six select high-grade fabrics best suited for the Alani.
The select colours are of a neutral colour palette, customizable in Oyster, Dove, Granite, Graphite, Sand, and Walnut. With this, each selection slightly differs in texture offering a unique look and feel.
Wether you choose from the select six fabrics or beyond, you can achieve many different styles with your choice of cover for the Alani Sectional.
Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa or Kingston La-Z-Boy store by phone or in-person to confirm availability. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any changes to our upholstery selection.
Among the fabrics available in various textures, patterns, and colours, the Alani Sectional is also available in premium-grade specialty fabrics.
Stain Resistant
Innovative iClean technology surrounds each fabric fiber, creating a barrier that repels spills before they turn into stains.
Pet Friendly
Tested to simulate the scratches and wear that pets can cause to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric.
Antimicrobial Covers
Antimicrobial properties surround each fiber to protect against mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria.
Performance
Superior stain and fade resistance properties make these fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
Eco Friendly

Energy Restoration

Seat Cushions
At an additional cost, firmer seat options are available, plus you can choose to upgrade both the seat and back cushions. This could be a great option for people with mobility issues, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.

Sectional Configuration Options
The configuration of your Alani Sectional is very important as it will determine the overall shape and size of your sectional. This will also impact how the sectional fits in your room and how it coordinates with your furniture arrangement.

The Alani cuddler piece sets this sectional apart as not every sectional offered at La-Z-Boy features a cuddler option. The cuddle corner acts as a great solution for intimate conversation and cuddling.

Contrasting Welt Trim
Welt trim provides a tailored look to sofa seat cushions. You can opt for contrasting welt trim on your Alani Sectional to add some personality and decorative detail.
Pillows
The Alani Sectional comes with matching throw pillows for a designer look and feel. If you are going for a bolder look, consider selecting contrasting accent pillows to make your Alani Sectional pop.
Additionally, you can choose to add cord or fringe to the pillow edge for a more decorative appeal.
For upgraded comfort opt for a FeatherLite fill feathers.
Cost
The Alani Sectional falls within the high-end price bracket on the furniture market. With this being said, the Alani falls within the mid-price range offered at La-Z-Boy.
Starting at $5,067 in its smallest configuration with select fabrics, the cost of the Alani Sectional is subject to increase based on your customization, configuration, and upgrade selections.
The cost of the Alani Sectional is determined by a variety of factors including the quality of materials and methods of construction. As a part of the Premier Construction collection, this sofa is high-quality, comfortable, and durable.

Customer Reviews
The Alani is one of the newest editions to the La-Z-Boy furniture family!
With this, very few La-Z-Boy clients have had the chance to get their hands on an Alani and break it in.
As more homeowners get the chance to experience all that the Alani has to offer, this section of the article will update and populate with helpful reviews of the product.
In the meantime, you may find value in referencing customer reviews of the La-Z-Boy Paxton Sectional. As previously mentioned, the Paxton is very similar to the Alani in design and functionality. Customer reviews of Paxton may be indicative of the Alani as well!
Is the Alani Sectional Right for You?
It is no question that the Alani Sectional is a beautiful piece of furniture. But is it right for you?
Generally speaking, the Alani is a great sectional choice for someone seeking a comfortable shared seating arrangement in a modern, transitional style.
According to Racha, the Alani can accommodate the needs and preferences of many different clients given its versatility in style, size, and functionality.
Depending on the customizations you choose in fabric and accessories, as well as the shape and configuration you put together, the Alani sectional is a great choice for a wide array of homeowners.
Whether you enjoy snuggling up with your pets and family members or hosting gatherings with friends, the Alani Sectional provides shared comfort.
Given its options in size and configuration, Racha says the Alani Sectional can be placed in multiple rooms in the home. Depending on how you style it, it can be dressed up for a living room or placed casually in the basement.
Given that the Alani is a stationary sectional, this choice may not be right for someone who prefers the ability to recline. Although the deep bucket seats of the Alani are ideal for curling up on, some clients may wish to kick their feet up in a footrest and lay back instead.
Moreover, although the cushions of the Alani offer firm support, the sheer size of the deep bucket seat can cause a sinking feeling. While some prefer to be perched up while they sit in their sectional, the Alani embraces you like a comforting hug. While a hug is nice from time to time, this is not for everybody.
