Sometimes a statement piece is all you need to make a space pop! These can be subtle changes such as keeping a recurring colour in your room or maintaining a theme. But, one of the more popular choices for living rooms is adding an accent chair.
Along with your living room furniture, an accent chair can be a great option if you’re looking for extra seating or trying to personalize your living area.
At La-Z-Boy, there are many Accent Chairs to choose from, including the small but attention-grabbing Jazz Chair. As La-Z-Boy Kanata design consultant David Flegg explains, “the Jazz is perfect for filling up that empty corner in your living room you don’t know what to do with.”
But you might be wondering, how does the Jazz compare to other chairs at La-Z-Boy, and is it the right furniture piece for you? This article will highlight everything you need to know about the Jazz, including unique features, cost, and customer reviews.

Unique Features
First things first, let’s take a look at some unique features that help set this chair apart from other La-Z-Boy products.
The Jazz chair effortlessly combines comfort and style, with its casual yet cool design. Elevated on tapered wooden legs, the welcoming silhouette features a slightly rounded shelter back and gently sloped arms that invite you to sink in and relax.
Most accent chairs at La-Z-Boy have somewhat of a box-border shape to them, but the round edges of the Jazz give off the illusion that it doesn’t take up as much space. However, the chair's sleek design is not just an optical trick - it's also surprisingly lightweight and easy to move around.
According to David, the Jazz likes to “pack a punch, especially if you add a bold accent fabric.”
He also says that even though the Jazz is one of our smaller chairs, it can be a nice statement piece in any living room, big or small. “It’s almost quite sculptural and delicate. Definitely something to appreciate about it.”
In addition to the small and round silhouette, the Jazz also features a semi-attached back and button-tufted accents for a refined look.
Size & Dimensions
To ensure that the Jazz can fit in your space, it is always important to Measure Your Room beforehand.
As mentioned before, the Jazz is one of our smallest Stationary Accent Chairs. Because of this, David says the Jazz can look good alone in a small space. However, it can also look great in a pair. “Some people love to see symmetry in their houses so adding a second Jazz might help create a visually balanced room.”
Moreover, the Jazz sits low to the ground, ensuring that most people of average height can sit comfortably without feeling like they're perched too high. This feature also makes the chair a great choice for those who prefer a lower seating height. In fact, shorter individuals may find the Jazz more accommodating than other accent chairs, as its smaller proportions provide a more proportional fit.
Ultimately, we recommend always coming in for a sit test to see if the Jazz suits 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.

Options & Upgrades
The Jazz chair, as with any La-Z-Boy furniture, comes with a variety of options or upgrades to help customize your furniture however you see fit.
Remember that options and upgrades come at an additional cost, meaning the initial price of the Jazz is subject to increase.
Fabric & Leather Options
La-Z-Boy has over 800 fabrics and leathers, making the experience of personalizing your furniture seemingly endless.
Because the Jazz is part of La-Z-Boy’s Designer’s Choice selection, it has no associated select fabrics.
Designer’s Choice furniture pieces offer even more selection in upholstery covers. Instead of having only 4 or 6 cover choices at the starting price, you can choose from over 100 fabric options without affecting the price.
However, the Jazz only comes in recycled leather and other alternative leather options.
Keep in mind that leather selections will always increase the overall cost. There are pros and cons to both fabric and leather upholstery, and the choice is ultimately up to you.
In addition to the cover options mentioned above, the Jazz comes in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…
Stain Resistant
Innovative iClean Technology surrounds each fabric fibre, creating a barrier that repels spills before turning into stains.
Pet Friendly
Tested and formulated to withstand the scratches and wear that a pet can cause to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric.
Antimicrobial Fabric
Antimicrobial properties surround each fibre to protect against mould, mildew and odour-causing bacteria.
Performance
Superior stain and fade resistance properties make fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
Eco-Friendly
Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable and made from recycled water bottles.
Energy Restoration
Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, you can upgrade Jazz’s cushions to include firmer cushioning. Over time, this firmer cushion will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture.
For more information, view our Designer’s Choice Collection catalogue and our in-depth Review of La-Z-Boy’s Chair and Sofa Seat Cushions.
*Please note that reclining furniture purchased before January 2021 had the option to upgrade to airform™ cushions. This cushion includes a two-inch layer of premium quality memory foam added on top of the standard foam base within the seat, chaise, and leg rest of the unit.
Finish Options
La-Z-Boy is all about customization, including customizing the legs of your chair. The Jazz legs can come in one of three finish options:
- Brown Mahogany (Standard Finish)
- Coffee (Additional Cost)
- Graphite (Additional Cost)
Cost
In terms of cost, David explains that the Jazz is in the mid-price range for a chair at La-Z-Boy.
With that being said, La-Z-Boy furniture is made with high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, which is reflected in a higher cost compared to some other furniture retailers on the market.

Is the Jazz Accent Chair Right For You?
Now that you have all the important details about the jazz, you are now ready to make an informed decision… or are you? You might still have some pondering questions about this accent chair and if it is right for you.
To help you out, here are some last-minute considerations revolving around your budget, the functionality of the chair, and the overall style.
The Jazz Chair is priced in the mid-range for La-Z-Boy products - not the most expensive, but not the most affordable either. It's important to keep in mind that La-Z-Boy furniture is generally priced higher than other furniture stores on the market.
This is because our furniture is built with high-quality materials that will last a long time. If you’re looking to invest in your living room furniture, the Jazz might be right for you.

The Jazz is a versatile accent chair that can work well in any sized room and comfortably seat multiple individuals. However, it's worth noting that if you're taller in stature, the Jazz may not provide the level of space and support you're looking for in a chair.
Further, even though this is a La-Z-boy product, it is not a recliner, meaning those looking for something to relax in with their feet up will not benefit from the Jazz.
If you’re looking for an accent chair similar to the Jazz, David recommends the Marietta, which has similar button tufting and a taller back. As for those who want a reclining option, you might find something you like in our Best-Selling Recliners article.
Finally, in terms of style, the Jazz is a versatile chair that complements any room decor with its timeless design. As a Designer's Choice piece, it offers a wide range of fabric options beyond our standard products, allowing for greater customization.
“That is pretty useful, since only changes depending on the fabric grade,” he says. Fabric grade refers to the quality of fabric used on the furniture.The higher the quality, the more expensive your chair will be.
Not only is it versatile in a living room, but David also says that you can add it to a basement, or a bedroom or even use them as dining chairs. “I had a client once that bought two Jazz chairs and put them by their dining table. And because their space was so small they were able to go back and forth from their living room to their dining room with ease.”
If you’re looking for a contemporary accent chair with many uses, the Jazz might be right for you. However, If you’re someone who might have their heart set on traditional furniture, you can learn more about Traditional vs, Contemporary with this article.
