Characteristics of a Modern Recliner
Before we dive into learning about the modern recliners offered at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note the general characteristics that make a recliner considered modern.
A modern recliner is an updated take on the traditional big, plush, and clunky recliner chair.
Instead of being an eyesore in a room, modern recliners prioritize style by seamlessly fitting into your home design. In fact, many modern recliners can even compliment the look of a seating arrangement.
Some modern recliners are so sneaky that they appear as a regular accent chair but have the unexpected ability to recline.
Modern recliners are typically narrow featuring slim arms, a tall back, clean lines, and sleek features. In contrast to puffy-looking recliners, modern recliners have a taute upholstery making them appear polished and firm.
While they may not look as comfortable to the naked eye, modern recliners at La-Z-Boy do not compromise on comfort.
