About the Bellevue High-Leg Swivel Chair

The Bellevue High-Leg Swivel Chair is a retro-inspired chair that is reinventing mid-century style. 

The low-profile design features subtly flared track arms and a softly scooped, tight back. Welt trim along the outside arms and loose seat cushion highlight Bellevue’s organic lines, while angled wood legs add a vintage flair. 

Fun and functional, with a 360-degree swivel base, this playful chair keeps you at the center of all the action. Choose your favourite fabric and wood finish for a custom look.

In addition to it being a swivel chair, Mary Lee highlights some great benefits of a swivel chair in your home.

“You can place a swivel chair in various rooms of your home, such as the living room, bedroom, or study. If you upholster it with trendy fabric, it becomes an accent piece. Many people love swivel chairs since they can be used to focus on multiple areas in your room,” she says. 

Generally, for a younger more style-seeking consumer, the Bellevue would best fit a larger or taller person and may require a bit more space in the room. More specifically 5"10' to 6'2". 

While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. The way you sit in a furniture item can drastically affect how comfortable someone might find it. 

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Bellevue is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

While the cost of the Bellevue is considered standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

Bellevue High-Leg Swivel Chair Customer Reviews

Is the Bellevue High Leg Swivel Chair Right For You?

If you're considering the Bellevue, it's important to evaluate whether it is the right fit for you.

One factor to consider is your budget, as the Bellevue falls within the mid to high range. While it may require a slightly larger investment, it offers numerous features that may make it worth the price.

In terms of style, the Bellevue is mid-century inspired, adding a touch of timeless elegance to any space. Additionally, the chair's size is best suited for taller individuals, ensuring that your feet won't tangle or hang uncomfortably off the edge.

Finally, the Bellevue's functionality is worth noting—it's a swivel chair that allows you to be in the center of the action. However, it's important to consider the space required for swivelling, ensuring you have enough room to maneuver comfortably.

Taking into account these factors, the Bellevue can be a great choice if you're looking for a stylish, comfortable chair that offers both aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.
