I am 6'1 and my husband is 5'11. I was intending to use my grandmother's antique rocker until yesterday, when I actually sat in it and discovered it is way too low for me to get up and down from comfortably. So now I need a chair. We are thinking La-Z-Boy b/c of its comfort and quality and versatility. I was wondering if any of you have gone this route...

Re: Thinking of getting a La-Z-Boy instead of a glider...
After two losses, third time was a charm.

Our La-Z-Boy is due in at the end of the month and I cannot wait!
Just a note, my husband is 6ft and he didn't like the first one you chose.
We ended up getting the Griffen. However, with the custom fabric, shipping, and stain protection it ended up being like $1100. We plan on moving it to our den after we get its use for the baby.
My husband is 6'5 and I am 5'9 and we couldn't find a glider that was suitable for both of us so we got a rocker/recliner instead. We went to La-Z-Boy and was very disappointted at the prices and selection. All of their chairs were either small, ugly, or over priced so we went to Ashley Home Furniture instead and picked out a beautiful rocker recliner for $399. We love it. It is big enough for my husband and super comfortable.
I never would have spent a penny at La-Z-Boy though. All you are buying is the name. The one we got was nicer than any other chair at La-Z-Boy and at least half the price.
I have no stock in LaZboy, I'm just over the moon excited with our rocker recliner from there. You are absolutely NOT just paying for the name. My LaZboy was cheaper than comparable Best and Lane chairs. We paid $450 and have a lifetime warranty on the frame and mechanism. What kind of warranty does Ashley have? I have NO idea what kind of Lazboy store you went in also... my husband is 6'2" and had absolutely no problem finding a chair that was big enough. They had easily 10 times the selection of chairs than Ashley did. They had sizes ranging from small to giant...
We got our La-Z-Boy at Boscov's on sale for $200. I'd given up hope on getting one because they were pricey. But $200 in the perfect size and color.
Thanks for your help ladies I went in today and actually picked one out and it was on MAJOR sale. Normally it's like over 900, but I got it for 400.00. As for Ashley furniture, I have ordered things from them in the past and not been happy with their services or quality. But, I have also known plenty of people that are perfectly happy with Ashley Furniture, so it might just be me. I do know I have had my La-Z Boy in the den for almost 10 years and it's still looks and feel brand new.
We got a lazboy for the nursery. It matches our family room sofa so when we are done with it in the nursery we will move it to the family room.
We got this one Maverick Recliner

I have to disagree as well. My Dad has always bought LaZBoy furniture and it lasts on average 10 yrs at his house, the LaZBoy couch he has is almost 15 yrs old and still feels new. Most of the time with big brands I agree with the sentiment of you're paying for a name, but I don't at all when it comes to furniture. Sometimes spending a little more up front is worthwhile in the long run because you are getting a better quality. If you like to buy new furniture every few years then somewhere like Ashley is fine, but ultimately you are spending the same amount of money.

The Maverick was my first choice after going in there, but it was too big to fit where I wanted it to.....very nice chair though and super comfy.
