Lancer Walnut Rocking Recliner

The La-Z-Boy Lancer is one of those recliners that earns its place in a room. The tall, curved back is detailed with channel stitching, and the pillow top arms add a softer, more generous look than the boxy silhouette common to basic recliners. It's a piece that reads as comfortable before you ever sit down.

Once you do, the controls are straightforward: a side-mounted handle lifts the legrest into three locked positions, and the back ratchets through 16 reclining angles independently, so you can lean back without popping up the footrest. When the legrest is down, the chair rocks with a smooth, easy motion. The seat cushion uses double-picked blown fiber fill over high-grade foam, which keeps the cushion lofty and holds its shape through years of regular use.

This cover is finished in a warm walnut-toned fabric that suits the chair's casual, lived-in character well.
