Are you looking to find out more about La-Z-Boy’s Allegra accent chair? You may be wondering what Allegra’s features and benefits are and whether it is the right fit for you.
Mary Lee Smyth has worked as an interior designer in the Kingston La-Z-Boy showroom since 2017. During her time, she has helped fit hundreds of customers to their perfect chair.
She says, “I love the Allegra chair for its versatility. It has a lovely boxy shape that fits well into a living room or bedroom. I can order the Allegra as a stationary chair or a swivel glider, which adds to its value.” Depending on how you cover it, it can work in many differently designed spaces."
In this review, find out why the Allegra is one of our best-selling swivel accent chairs by taking a look at some unique features, cost and real customer reviews.

- Multiple Cover Options: Available in multiple fabrics and leathers without affecting the cost of your chair.
- Quality Construction: Built with La-Z-Boy Premier Construction for long-lasting durability.
- Mid-High Price Range: The Allegra Accent Chair, Swivel Gliding Chair and Ottoman have a starting price of $1,279, $1,649 and $659, respectively.
About the Allegra Accent Chair
The Allegra Stationary Chair combines a streamlined look with subtle details to complement today’s casual decor. It features an inviting box seat, welt trim, slightly flared arms, and decorative tapered wood legs. A solid foam back and ComfortCore® cushion provide optimum support for a long or short sit.
The Allegra also features a padded outer back which complements the padded outer arms, giving it a more refined and open look. You can also pair it with a matching Ottoman.
What's more, not only does this accent chair come as a stationary piece, but you can also choose to have the Allegra with a swivel base. "The swivel is a nice addition to any household with an open concept space. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to stay in the center of all the action!" Mary Lee says.
The gentle gliding motion that eases you into relaxation and the swivel base that gives you the freedom to change your focus without ever getting up makes the Allegra swivel glider the perfect chair for a nursery.
That being said, the frame of the Allegra is bulky, and may not fit every small space as well as some other chairs. Further, the dimensions of the Allegra make it suit taller individuals, specifically those between the heights of 5'10 to 6'2".
"This is due to the higher back and overall puffiness of the frame. However, I sold two to a woman who was only 4’11, and she loved to relax with her legs curled up under her while she reads.”
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 Allegra is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

Is the Allegra Accent Chair Right for You?
Now that you're aware of everything you need to know about the Allegra Accent Chair, the question still remains... is this the right chair for you? To help you clarify this answer, let's take a look at the functionality of the furniture and the overall style.
When it comes to the functionality of the Allegra, some people may feel as though it is too big for their space, or that a stationary piece is not enough. If you're looking for something minimalist, while also looking to cover more room in your home, the Allegra might be the right chair for you.
However, If you live in a small space or feel like a recliner is better suited for your needs, this accent chair may not be right for you. To learn more about the difference between Stationary and Reclining Furniture, take a look at this article.
Lastly, in terms of style, Mary Lee suggests that the Allegra is transitional, meaning it can go well with many different types of living room aesthetics. “Some people object to the shape of the arms. They may prefer a traditional rolled arm rather than the transitional style,” she says.
Even though the Allegra can come in multiple different patterns and colours, some people may feel as though it isn't as stylish as other pieces. If you are looking for something more unique from La-Z-Boy, Mary Lee recommends the Reegan.
The Reegan high leg swivel chair fits more closely to the body than the Allegra, making it a slimmer frame visually. The Reegan also sits more upright and does not have the depth of cushioning that one will find with the Allegra. "Reegan's legs are also more defined and make for a stellar show stopper in your room," she says.
