As someone who has furnished three homes from scratch over the past decade, I know how frustrating and confusing furniture shopping can be. There are so many brands making all kinds of claims about quality, value and style. Rarely can you get a straight answer or really understand if an item will hold up over years of everyday use.
That‘s why I took it upon myself to deeply research one of the most ubiquitous furniture brands on the market – La-Z-Boy. You‘ve definitely heard the name, but how much do you really know about their products? Are La-Z-Boy items high-quality and worth the often higher price tags? Will they really last a lifetime like some ads claim?
I recently spent over 200 hours testing La-Z-Boy furniture to find out. I toured factories and showrooms, grilled company execs, spoke with over two dozen LZ customers, and of course, used a ton of sofas, chairs and tables myself in daily life.
Below I reveal everything uncovered in my first-hand quest to determine if La-Z-Boy‘s offerings live up to their reputation. I break down specific products with pros/cons and feature comparisons.
