About the Maeve Chair (Available Options)
The Maeve Accent Chair, along with its ottoman with storage, offers a plethora of unique features that make it stand out. Despite being a relatively new addition to the showroom, the Maeve has quickly captured attention with its stylish appeal.
Featuring a sleek barrel-style design with a modern flair, the Maeve is built on a smaller scale but still makes a bold statement. Its modern and casual style is enhanced by a sophisticated curved back, complemented by a loose back cushion that adds comfort.
Michelle notes that the fine topstitching adds “a touch of unique detailing, which is perfect for anyone looking for subtle accents on their frame.” The chair's track arms, welt trim, and wooden legs contribute to its chic, contemporary look.
As for who might sit comfortably in this Chair, Cliff mentions the Maeve would most likely suit anyone short, preferably between the heights of 5’4” or shorter.
It’s true! 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.
This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Maeve is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Chair That is The Best Fit For You.
In addition to its stationary version, the Maeve is available as a swivel gliding chair, capable of a full 360-degree rotation, and as a storage ottoman, which serves as both an extra seat and a footrest.

Is the Maeve Chair Right For You?
The Maeve Chair is an excellent choice, but is it the right choice for you? To know this answer, you have to take a look at its functionality and style.
As mentioned before, the Maeve is a great space-saving piece of furniture if you’re looking for something that is stylish and doesn't take up too much room. If you don’t have too much room, the stationary accent chair can look great in the corner and still have quite the presence.
In fact, the Maeve is one of our Top Picks for Stationary Accent Chairs at La-Z-Boy, which you can learn more about with this article.
However, you might need more space if you decide to opt for the swivel gliding chair or add the storage ottoman. Swivel chairs naturally need more space due to its 360-degree function.
Lastly, the Maeve is modern in style, according to Michelle, being able to stand out from other furniture styles pretty easily. “It also looks great as a leather piece, or can even look great with the right fabric covering,” she says.
Some may even argue that this accent piece could work well in mid-century modern styles.
What's Next?
Now that you know more about the Maeve Chair, it's up to you to decide if it's the right fit for your home. That being said, why not discover this stylish furniture in person?
You can start shopping by visiting one of our local showrooms located in Ottawa or Kingston. You can also schedule a visit online before coming in.
