The Riley Recliner can be a beautiful addition to any room, but is it the right choice for you?
Racha says that the Riley is a great choice for someone who is looking for a stylish, yet comfortable, addition to a room. Unlike some other recliner styles that appear traditionally bulky, the Riley Recliner is classic and sophisticated.
The Riley is considered to be a part of the Comfortably Casual style at La-Z-Boy. With this, the Riley can fit with many styles of decor depending on your own personal customizations and might work very well for someone looking for an accent chair.
Racha adds that while the Riley Recliner may appeal to a woman with an eye for style, the square headrest and sharp edges also give off a masculine appeal. The Riley may be the perfect compromise for couples negotiating their taste and preferences when it comes to home decor.
If the Riley has caught your eye but it is not just right, you may consider similar models such as the Haven High Leg Recliner Chair or the Midtown Chair. These styles have slightly varying features while still balancing style with comfort, so you may find what you are looking for in these models.
