Review of La-Z-Boy’s Marietta Accent Chair

Est. Reading Time: 7 Mins

Making an accent chair work in a home can either be simple or difficult. The defining factor for an accent chair is making sure it isn’t too much of an overstatement and stays on theme with the rest of your room.

“You wouldn’t want an accent chair with a pattern that doesn’t match your room’s colour or decor,” explains Lina Najia, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata. 

At La-Z-Boy, some accent chairs can be paired with fabric and leather covers. Like the Marietta accent chair! According to Lina, the Marietta “is a great example of a chair that goes well with many styles.”

But you might wonder, is this chair the right one for you? This in-depth review will review key elements about the Marietta, so you can make a well-informed decision for your home.

Key Takeaways:

• Modern Design: a curved back and low, subtly flared arms create a clean, elegant look.
• Multiple Cover Options: Available in multiple fabrics and leathers without affecting the cost of your chair.
• Quality Construction: Built with La-Z-Boy Premier Construction for long-lasting durability.
• Mid-High Price Range: The Marietta Accent Chair, Swivel Gliding Chair and Ottoman have a starting price of $1,529.

About the Marietta Accent Chair

Firstly, the Marietta Chair is a statement piece that looks gorgeous from every angle. It features an elegant silhouette that boasts low, subtly flared arms. The arms also feature crisp pleats, which compliment the welt trim that traces Marietta’s graceful lines. 

The Marietta also features a tight diamond-tufted back, which adds to its classically tailored look, and tapered wood legs that provide a rich finishing touch.

Lina draws attention to the fact that the Marietta Chair is featured in our Designer's Choice lineup of chairs, giving you the flexibility to choose from a variety of covers and create a customized look that fits your preferences and decor. 

She also mentions that the Marietta has a “laid-back look”. The curved back allows the users to naturally bring their body back, while the bucket seats let users sink into the seats for a relaxed feeling.

Looking at the size, Lina points out that the Marietta Chair is smaller in size compared to regular La-Z-Boy chairs, making it a great option for smaller spaces. Additionally, the Marietta can serve as an ideal accent piece to complement a larger sofa or loveseat.

According to Lina, the Marietta Chair's size makes it a versatile option that can accommodate a broad range of people with average heights, particularly those who measure between 5'4" and 5'9".

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 Marietta 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.

Is the Marietta Accent Chair Right for You?

Now that you're well-informed about the Marietta Chair, it's time to answer the big question: is it the perfect chair for you? 

In terms of functionality, the Marietta is great for sitting proportionally with most sofas and loveseats from La-Z-Boy.

But, if you’re looking for an accent chair to recline in, you may not enjoy the Marietta as much as our High-Leg Recliner Selection. Further, the Marietta may not suit those with back problems, since the back of the frame does not have as much cushioning. 

To see a selection of La-Z-Boy Chairs for Back Pain, take a look at this article.

Lastly, the style of the Marietta is traditional, with subtle modern accents that help elevate its style. Because of this, the Marietta can look good in most rooms. It even looks good in leather and is considered one of our Top Leather Accent Chairs.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the button-tufting may cause some patterned covers to not align correctly, which could affect the overall consistency of the chair.  

But if you’re looking for an accent chair with a broad cover selection, the Marietta is the right chair for you.
