Review of the La-Z-Boy Roxie Swivel Chair

Est. Reading Time: 7 Mins

Sometimes a room needs more than just extra seating. It needs a chair that feels comfortable, functional, and visually interesting all at once. The Roxie Swivel Chair was designed to offer exactly that balance.

With its rounded arms, tailored seat cushion and smooth swivel gliding base, the Roxie delivers a versatile seating experience that works well in a variety of rooms. Whether placed in a living room, reading nook or nursery, the chair adds movement and flexibility that traditional stationary chairs simply cannot provide.

To better understand how the Roxie fits into the La-Z-Boy lineup, we spoke with Mary Lee Smyth, Interior Designer at La-Z-Boy Kingston. She often recommends the Roxie to customers who want a chair that can adapt to multiple spaces.

“In leather, the Roxie can look like a sophisticated chair that belongs in an English pub,” Mary Lee explains. “Or in a soft, patterned fabric, it fits beautifully in a nursery.”

But beyond its versatile appearance, is the Roxie Swivel Chair the right fit for your home?

Key Takeaways:

• The Roxie Swivel Chair features a 360-degree swivel and smooth gliding motion, adding flexibility and movement to your seating arrangement.
• Its rolled arms, welt trim and deep T-seat cushion give the chair a tailored yet relaxed appearance.
• ComfortCore® cushions provide supportive seating designed for both short sits and longer lounging sessions.
• Available in a wide variety of fabrics and leather options, including performance and pet-friendly fabrics.
• Designed for an average-sized frame, generally works well for average to taller individuals.
• Starting at $1,929, placing it in the mid-price range among La-Z-Boy accent chairs.

About the Roxie Swivel Glider

The Roxie stands out from many accent chairs because of its combined swivel and gliding functionality. Unlike traditional stationary chairs, the Roxie can rotate a full 360 degrees and glide smoothly back and forth. This movement adds a level of flexibility that can make everyday seating more comfortable.

Design-wise, the Roxie blends casual comfort with subtle structure. Its rolled arms and welt trim provide visual definition, while the padded outer arms and back create a softer, more inviting feel.

Mary Lee notes that Roxie’s versatility is one of its biggest advantages. “It’s a chair that can work in so many different rooms,” she says. “You can place it in a living room, a nursery or even a bedroom, and it still feels right.”

Comfort is another defining feature of the Roxie. The chair features ComfortCore® cushions, engineered to deliver layered support. This allows the chair to remain comfortable whether you are sitting briefly or relaxing for a longer period.

In terms of scale, the Roxie has what many would consider an average-sized frame. Its low profile allows it to sit nicely in front of windows without blocking natural light, making it an attractive option for rooms where openness and brightness are important.

While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. How you sit on a piece of furniture can drastically affect whether someone finds it comfortable.

Ultimately, we recommend that you visit a La-Z-Boy showroom and take the Roxie chair for a sit test with a La-Z-Boy sales consultant. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

Should You Buy the Roxie Swivel Chair?

The Roxie Swivel Chair makes the most sense for someone looking for an accent chair that offers both comfort and movement. Its swivel and gliding functionality allows the chair to adapt easily to different activities, whether you are reading, watching television or simply relaxing.

Because it can rotate a full 360 degrees while gliding smoothly back and forth, it also works well in open-concept spaces where you may want to turn toward different areas of the room without repositioning the chair.

Mary Lee notes that the Roxie is particularly popular in nurseries because of its soothing gliding motion. At the same time, its tailored design allows it to transition easily into a living room or bedroom as an accent chair.

Many homeowners also appreciate how easily it can stand on its own in a reading corner or be paired with a sofa to create a more flexible seating arrangement.

However, if you are specifically looking for reclining functionality or a chair designed for deep lounging, another La-Z-Boy chair may better match your expectations. The Roxie prioritizes versatility and motion rather than full reclining comfort.

For someone who prefers to fully stretch out or elevate their legs while sitting, a traditional recliner may provide a better overall experience.
