La-Z-Boy offers several Recliners in Canada, but today we’re going to be discussing the Riley High Leg Recliner. The Riley is a relatively new swivel on the scene and already one of Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston’s most popular swivel accent chairs.
Mary Lee Smyth, an experienced interior designer at La-Z-Boy Kingston, has been helping clients find their perfect Recliner since 2017. As our go-to expert, Mary Lee highlights why Riley has become a standout favourite among our customers.
In this article, we’ll explore the features and benefits of the Riley Recliner, uncover what customers love (and dislike) about it, and determine if it’s the right fit for your home.
Key Takeaways:
- Exceptional Comfort: The Riley Recliner is designed with stylish legs and a perfect silhouette.
- Stylish Design: It features a contemporary look that fits well in various interior styles.
- Multiple Cover Options: Available in multiple fabrics and leathers without affecting the cost of your chair.
- Adjustable Features: Includes options for wood finish leg colours, as well as firn cushioning.
- Durable Build: Made with Premier Construction for long-lasting use.
- Low-Priced Recliner: The Riley High-Leg Swivel Recliner has a starting cost of $1,769.
The Riley High-Leg Recliner 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 Riley’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 Recliner, Mary Lee highlights some great benefits of a Recliner in your home.
“You can place a Recliner 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 Recliners since they can be used to focus on multiple areas in your room,” she says.
Generally, for a younger more style-seeking consumer, the Riley 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 someone might find a seat comfortable.
This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Riley 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 Riley Recliner Right For You?
If you're considering the Riley, it's important to evaluate whether it is the right fit for you.
One factor to consider is your budget, as the Riley 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 Riley 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 Riley's functionality is worth noting—it's a Recliner 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 Riley can be a great choice if you're looking for a stylish, comfortable chair that offers both aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.
