Unique Features
The La-Z-Boy Scarlett High Leg Reclining Chair combines a sophisticated, modern design with the unexpected ability to recline.
What makes The Scarlett such an attractive piece is the secret ability to recline. You get the best of both worlds with this push-back recliner with a 2-position reclining mechanism that has the elegance of a stationary chair.
The Scarlett is simple in its design and is not available as a power option. The recliner is a manual mechanism that does not have a hand lever to release the footrest. You must push the arms of the chair forward and use your body to engage the reclining mechanism.
While it is not difficult to recline, this chair may not be the best option for individuals with weaker upper body strength. As always, we highly recommend coming into the store and experiencing the piece of furniture you are interested in, in person.
Scarlett Reclining Chair Size & Dimensions
With its fresh, clean silhouette, the Scarlett High Leg Reclining Chair gives you unlimited possibilities when envisioning your space. A great attribute of the Scarlett is that even though it is deemed a recliner it doesn't require a lot of additional space to recline, only needing 4-6 inches between the chair back and the wall. The versatility of these chairs makes them a stellar option for those looking for chairs that allow for easy maneuvering in the center of a room or corner reading nook.
With its narrow base, exaggerated lumbar, and high slim armrests this chair is perfect for small-scale individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”. Although the specifications for this chair may make it “perfect” for individuals within those height ranges it is best practice to experience each piece of furniture in-store to ensure it is the best fit for you. How you sit on a piece of furniture can drastically affect how someone might find a seat comfortable.
To ensure that the Scarlett High Leg Reclining Chair can fit in your space how you envision, it is always important to measure your space.
Upgrades & Options
As versatile as the Scarlett is in its composition, it is the most simple to design and enjoy. With over 800 fabrics and leathers to choose from this classic chair comes in a variety of different covers to suit your home furnishings style.
When designing The Scarlett there are 3 simple decisions to be made:
- Type of cover: Fabric or Leather?
- Do I want any upgrades: Fabric Upgrades or Cushion Upgrades?
- What wood finish would I like on the legs?
Fabric & Leather Options
When choosing fabrics, the Scarlett comes in 424 select fabric covers with 2 different textures*. There are also 2 select leather options available.
Select fabrics are specifically chosen to match a particular furniture frame and do not affect the starting price.
Leather options, even select leather, will always increase the overall cost. Ultimately, choosing fabric or leather is up to you if you’re willing to spend more on leather products.

Is The Scarlett High Leg Reclining Chair Right for You?
Now that we have taken a deep dive into the specifics of this popular Designer’s Choice chair, let's see if it's the right fit for you, your style, your budget, and your space.
As mentioned earlier in the article and also in our customer reviews this reclining accent chair does have a sleek, lean profile. With this narrow base and shorter back, it is best suited for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”. Unfortunately, this chair is not customizable to make it wider or taller.
This recliner chair is versatile in its uses and functionality. With the narrow composition of the chair, it is a great choice for customers looking to fill a small space, a larger space that requires ample room for maneuvering, or in pairs for a more inviting feel.
If you are looking for a chair that comes in a wide variety of different fabric colors, patterns, textures, and cover options, you should strongly consider the Scarlett. It is a great fit for someone looking for a leather accent chair that does not want the bulk of traditional more oversized leather options.
As with all La-Z-Boy South Texas recliners, the quality and craftsmanship do come with a cost. While this is a cost-efficient recliner option here at La-Z-Boy it is still a premium product that would not be a good option for someone looking for a temporary, value-option chair. Choosing a La-Z-Boy Recliner for your home furnishings is an investment.
