About the Roxie Swivel Glider

The Roxie Swivel Gliding Chair is a versatile chair that adds a stylish spin to any room, with a 360-degree swivel and gliding base. Rolled arms and a deep T-seat cushion, all with welt trim, gives Roxie definition and structure. Not only does it swivel fully around, but it also glides back and forth in a smooth and graceful motion.

From a design perspective, Mary Lee says the Roxie can be used in so many different ways. “In leather, the Roxie can look like a sophisticated chair that belongs in an English pub. Or in a soft patterned fabric, the Roxie sits perfectly in a nursery”, says Mary Lee. 

While the Roxie chair offers style, it also boasts comfort. The padded outer arms and padded outer back invite a snuggle. Further, the Roxie features ComfortCore® cushions that provide optimum support for a long or short sit. 

When it comes to size, Mary Lee says the Roxie has an average-sized frame. With a lower back, she adds that the Roxie looks great in front of a window without blocking the natural light.

While the Roxie fits comfortably in many spaces, it is important to not only consider how the Roxie Chair will fit into your space but also how it will support your unique body type. Generally speaking, the dimensions of the Roxie Chair are best suited for individuals of an average to tall height, between 5’10” and 6’2”.

While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. How 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 Roxie chair for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy sales consultant. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Roxie Chair, the cost will vary based on the grade you choose. Select fabrics will not affect the starting price of your furniture, but anything beyond that will.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any changes to our upholstery selection.

Alongside our extensive range of covers, the Roxie is also available in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…

• Antimicrobial Fabric: Antimicrobial properties surround each fibre to protect against mould, mildew and odour-causing bacteria.
• Performance: Superior stain and fade resistance properties make fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
• Eco-Friendly: Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable and made from recycled water bottles.
• Energy Restoration: Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Roxie cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning over time, your furniture will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture. This could be a great option for people with mobility issues, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.

Contrasting Welt

Customers have the option to choose a contrasting welt trim to accentuate the design of the furniture. Furthermore, patterned welt trim options are available, which can enhance the aesthetics of the furniture frame.

Base Finish

La-Z-Boy is all about customization, and that includes customizing the base. The Roxie can come in one of two finish options:

• Mahogany Brown (Standard Finish)*
• Coffee (additional cost)*

Roxie Swivel Chair Cost

The Roxie falls within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. 

While the cost of the Roxie chair is considered quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products. 

With this, the investment tends to be worthwhile if you are looking for long-lasting furniture.

The starting cost of the Roxie Swivel Gliding Chair is $1,739.

Is the Roxie Swivel Gliding Chair Right for You?

The Roxie Swivel Gliding Chair is a beautiful occasional chair, but is it the right chair for you?

Generally speaking, the Roxie is great for someone looking for an accent chair to add to a living room furniture arrangement, or to stand alone in a reading nook, bedroom, or nursery. 

More specifically, the swivel and gliding feature of the Roxie is great for new parents. The smooth motion is very soothing for parents and their newborn child, replicating the comforts of the womb. 

As previously mentioned, the size of the Roxie Chair is most comfortable for those between the heights of 5’10” to 6’2”. With that being said, the quality comfort of the ComfortCore® cushioning can offer a cozy seat for those of many sizes. 

It is important to note that the Roxie cannot recline. In turn, someone who wants to kick their legs up and seek reclining comfort may not find what they are looking for in the Roxie Chair. Instead, they may prefer one of our 5 Best Selling Recliner Chairs at La-Z-Boy or a Secret Recliner Chair.

Finally, the cost of the Roxie Chair falls within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. In turn, the Roxie is a good choice for someone who is prepared to make a significant investment in comfort that will last for years. 

Alternatively, a client who is looking for temporary furniture on a small budget might find a better alternative amongst our Affordable Chair selection at La-Z-Boy.
