Over the years, La-Z-Boy South Texas has become known for more than just our traditional recliners. We have evolved to offer more options for modern living areas.
While we are very confident in our modern living room options, we recognize that La-Z-Boy is not for everyone. For example, if you’re looking for a modern sofa in the $500 price range, the Laurel may not be for you. You may be better served looking at the Oliver Sofa at West Elm.
If you do love the Laurel Sofa or any of our other options, the best way to identify if it’s the one for you is to sit in it yourself. Come into your nearest La-Z-Boy South Texas store to sit in our modern furniture!
