When adding a new furniture piece to your living room, you want to make sure that does not disrupt the existing look in your home. If you're going for a sophisticated vibe, go with something more mature. If you think contemporary is what screams at you, buy a contemporary piece.
But what about a traditional space? Obviously, you should add traditional pieces, but could you add, say, a recliner to the mix?
At La-Z-Boy, you certainly can! With the Kimberly High-Leg Recliner, you can add a traditional living room chair, that also doubles as a recliner.
“The Kimberly is definitely a standalone piece,” says Nicole Sollychin, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club. But just what else is there to offer regarding the Kimberly High-Leg Recliner?
Stick around to learn more about this slim recliner chair and find out if this is the right furniture piece for you.
In This Article…
First things first, let’s take a look at this living room chair’s unique features.
Adding a new spin on a classic look, the Kimberly High-Leg Recliner is a classic and timeless style that blends old and new elements of comfort.
What’s interesting about this furniture piece is that it is, in fact, a reclining chair. Yes, a recliner! La-Z-Boy has many different types of recliners, and this is just one of them.
While it may appear as though it is only stationary, Kimberly can recline by simply pushing back on the arms of the chair. Once users reveal the hidden legrest underneath the frame, they can recline in two comfortable positions.
The Kimberly also features a dressed-up formal look, with a softly-tailored back, padded rolled arms, and graceful cabriole legs for a stylish-looking piece.
Nicole notes the wing back being the most distinctive part of this frame “This detail shows that this piece is definitely a more sophisticated piece, which is why it works so well in a formal setting,” she says.
The size & dimensions may not be the first thing on someone’s mind when purchasing a recliner chair but it is a big factor to consider. Before purchasing any new furniture, it is important to measure your room.
Nicole notes that this compact recliner chair is average in scale, meaning it can fit a smaller space well, but also fit anyone that may be taller than usual. “This is because of the Kimberly’s tall back,” she says. Specifically, those between the heights of 5’5” or higher may benefit from Kimberly the most.
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 someone might find a seat comfortable.
Ultimately, we recommend that you visit a La-Z-Boy showroom and take the Kimberly for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy design consultant.

Kimberly’s recliners are enjoyed by many La-Z-Boy customers. The current star rating for the Kimberly is at 4.8/5 stars, currently. However, star ratings can only tell you so much.
Here is what real La-Z-Boy customers are honestly saying about the Kimberly Recliner…
Now that you’re aware of what the Kimberly has to offer, is this the right reclining chair for you? To help you out with your decision, let’s take a look at your budget, the functionality and the style of the furniture frame.
Firstly, the Kimberly is considered in the more affordable price range for recliners at La-Z-Boy. It isn’t considered too expensive because the reclining mechanism is not as intricate as traditional recliners.
However, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered expensive compared to other furniture stores in Ottawa and Kingston.
Although this is the case, La-Z-Boy furniture is made to last longer than other furniture pieces, due to the higher quality materials used within the construction of the piece. This means you’ll be potentially saving money later down the road, with less risk of damages happening over a shorter period.
Secondly, the Kimberly is a multifunctional piece of furniture. Given that it is a push-back recliner, you have the choice to use it however you see fit.
If you’re someone who cannot use too much strength for whatever reason, the Kimberly, unfortunately, cannot upgrade to include power. Instead, we recommend finding a high-leg recliner that is similar in style and can help you recline without using too much energy.
Lastly, the Kimberly is traditional in style, being able to accommodate more sophisticated households rather than a more contemporary look.
If you’re not interested in this type of furniture, we recommend a more modern high-leg recliner called the Rheeves, which, coincidentally, can also upgrade to power.
Now that you are more knowledgeable about the Kimberly High-Leg Recliner, why not discover this stylish recliner in person?
