The Riley High Leg Reclining Chair is a masterpiece of design that effortlessly combines luxurious comfort with an artful, sculptured shape. This high leg reclining chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a statement of sophisticated flair.
Its slightly smaller profile belies its bold impact, making it a perfect addition whether paired with a contemporary sofa or showcased on its own.
The Riley Chair's exquisite decorative wood legs provide a touch of elegance, while the semi-attached back offers both style and support. The attached seat cushion is designed for maximum comfort, cradling you in coziness from the moment you sit down.
The La-Z-Boy high leg recliner features a convenient press-back recliner mechanism, allowing you to effortlessly recline and relax by simply pushing back.
One of the standout features of the Riley chair is its use of double-picked blown fiber fill, which significantly improves cushion loft and shape retention. This ensures that the chair not only looks plush and inviting but also maintains its form over time.
Complementing this is the high-grade foam seat cushion, engineered to maintain its comfort and appearance, providing a consistently delightful seating experience.
Because of its shorter seat height, The Riley is a great chair for short people. It is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”.
While this high leg recliner chair is a good fit for shorter individuals, it is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which is why it’s important to sit in the chair yourself.

“I love this chair so much I bought two! It's comfy, relaxing and looks fantastic in my living room” - Ingrid J.
“Need Young Muscle Power For This chair
The chair is beautiful styling, comfortable to sit in…however…reason I give three stars, I didn't have the muscle power to recline the chair, I weigh 145 lbs - 80 year old female. Plus my male companion had a hard time pushing it back as well. Possibly need a younger stronger person in this chair.” - Maggie P.
“Comfortable and fashionable
We have purchased two of these in the past 2 years... and really enjoy them. The amount of recline fits our needs perfectly... we use the first notch much more frequently than the all-out flat setting. Also we enjoy the comfort of the chair without reclining.” - Carolyn P.
