why does it take so long to get la-z-boy furniture

Whenever you buy furniture, you’re very eager to get your new recliner sofa or high leg reclining chair into your living room. The new piece or pieces are going to take your room to the next level of comfort, style, or possibly both.

Since we at La-Z-Boy South Texas are committed to quality over quantity, it takes, on average, between 8-10 weeks to get your new furniture. That being said, it can be frustrating to learn from experience or by word of mouth that it takes a long time to get new furniture.

What’s important to know is why it takes so long to get La-Z-Boy furniture. In this article, we will answer that question in depth.

Coming Up…


Why Does It Take So Long to Get La-Z-Boy Furniture?

To understand why it takes so long, it’s important to know that there are several factors involved. We will break each factor down piece by piece into their own sections so we can fully explain each factor’s role into the process.

Handcrafted Furniture

One major reason La-Z-Boy furniture takes so long to be ready is because all of our furniture is handcrafted. From our classic recliners down to our coffee tables, each piece of furniture undergoes extensive testing and is handled with care by expert craftsmen.

At our La-Z-Boy manufacturing plants, we have teams of expert craftsmen that are assembling every piece of furniture with the finest materials available. We believe in the value of handcrafted furniture and it’s a reason why La-Z-Boy furniture lasts longer than average.

Our desire to uphold that standard for our customers leads to a quality over quantity mantra here at La-Z-Boy. Since our furniture is handcrafted instead of mass produced by machinery, our furniture is not produced in bulk, and takes longer to complete.

 

Custom Furniture

Custom-made furniture will also extend the production process and will take longer to get to you.

Let’s say that you came into your nearest La-Z-Boy South Texas store and liked one of our oversized recliners. However, you’d like to upgrade it to a power recliner and you’d also like it to go from a fabric power recliner to a leather power recliner.

One of the unique benefits La-Z-Boy customers enjoy is the customization option. The ability to personalize your furniture is not available at every furniture store in South Texas as many stores produce one-size-fits-all furniture in bulk.

While personalization will make you feel like your chair and a half recliner is just for you, it will also take longer to be ready for use. Extra upgrades and customization will require more parts and materials, extending the construction process.

While getting new furniture is an exciting experience, it can be deflating to learn that it takes several weeks to get it. Hopefully this article helps you understand why it takes so long, and you feel better knowing that there are logical reasons.

If you want to be in the know on what stage of the process your furniture is in, we recommend keeping in contact with your La-Z-Boy South Texas designer. They will provide updates as they are given and whenever you’d like one.

Even with a lengthier process, there is a reason why La-Z-Boy furniture is revered by customers as the most comfortable and highest quality furniture they have experienced. Our standards of comfort and quality will not be compromised because while bulk production can be quicker, it sacrifices quality.
