In this review, find out why the Rowan Recliner is the 2nd best-selling recliner in Ottawa and Kingston next to the Pinnacle!
Lina Najia is the assistant manager at La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings & Décor in Kanata. During her four years working for La-Z-Boy Ottawa Kingston, she has helped fit hundreds of customers to their perfect recliner.
Lina says the Rowan chair is one of her favourites; it’s a comfy seat, and she sells many of them. It has excellent support for the back of the head and at the same time, has sleek lines to give it a more contemporary look.
Many people love the look of the chair in leather, “it looks sharp!” She says, “it looks nice when paired with a non-reclining sofa because it gives you a reclining option in the room that isn’t too puffy. The scale of the Rowan also goes well with a non-reclining sofa such as the Meyer or the Bexley.”
The Rowan Recliner epitomizes the perfect fusion of style and comfort, showcasing a harmonious blend of elegance and coziness.
Its sleek design belies the remarkable functionality of its flared arms, ingeniously engineered to optimize the seating area.
Effortlessly elevate your relaxation experience by employing the convenient handle located on the outer arm, allowing you to effortlessly raise the legrest for indulging in a captivating read, unwinding after a long day, or immersing yourself in your favourite TV shows.
Emphasizing versatility, the Rowan Recliner offers two enticing options to suit your preferences: the wall recliner or the rocking recliner.
The Rowan Rocking Recliner is the basic non-power option. Use the convenient handle on the outside arm to raise the leg rest relaxing. When you’re not reclining, it’s a rocker with a smooth, graceful motion.
The Wall Recliner
The Rowan Wall Recliner is the same as the rocker recliner and you can place it inches from the wall to save space.
Size & Dimensions
The size and dimensions can tell you a lot about a furniture item. To ensure that the Rowan can fit in your home, it is always important to measure your space.
The Rowan chair has a relatively small scale while still being able to accommodate people of a broad range of sizes. It could be best suited for individuals of average to tall height.
The seat width is a little wider than the Pinnacle to accommodate different sizes.
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 Rowan 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.

With over 800 fabrics and leathers to choose from, customers have a wide variety of colours, textures, and patterns to suit every taste and style.
The Rowan Recliner is offered in 8 select fabrics and 2 select leathers that are chosen to complement the product's unique look and particular frame. The select fabrics do not increase the base price.
If you want more colour choices, there are Custom Leather or Custom Leather Plus options. However, these do come at an additional cost. To learn more about La-Z-Boy’s Leather Selection, check out this article.
Leather options, even select leather, will always increase the overall cost. Ultimately, choosing fabric or leather is up to you if you’re willing to spend more on leather products.
*Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa or Kingston La-Z-Boy store by phone or in-person to confirm availability. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any changes to our upholstery selection.
In addition to the cover options mentioned above, the Rowan is offered in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…
Innovative iClean technology surrounds each fabric fiber, creating a barrier that repels spills before they turn into stains.
Tested and formulated to withstand the scratches and wear that a pet can cause, to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric.
Antimicrobial properties surround each fiber to protect against mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria.
Superior stain and fade resistance properties make these fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable, and made from recycled water bottles.
At an additional cost, Rowan 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.
For more information view our Motion Furniture Collection catalogue and our in-depth Review of La-Z-Boy’s Chair and Sofa Seat Cushions.
You can upgrade the Rowan to power.
Instead of using a handle or a latch, like with manual furniture, the power recliner has a wireless remote on the right side of the chair. With this, you can recline at the touch of a button, as well as control the adjustable headrest support.
The adjustable headrest allows you to move the head of the recliner from 0-55 degrees, giving you more range of motion with your reclining positions.
You can also control the lower lumbar area of your recliner with the wireless remote. In this case, the lumbar support can expand 3 inches out or deflate to perfectly match the unique curvature of your lumbar spine.
What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices, as well as two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favourite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately.
If you need help with learning about the controls, check out La-Z-Boy Power Furniture: How to Use the Control Panel & Remote.
All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack. With this, you can place your power recliners anywhere without worrying about plugging them into an electrical outlet.
To learn more about battery packs, read this Review of the Rechargeable Battery Pack offered at La-Z-Boy.

To add more style to your La-Z-Boy manual recliner, you have the option to customize the length and material of the convenient reclining handle.
At an extra cost, you can opt to elongate the handle if you find it too short for your comfort. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of materials for the handle, including wooden, brushed nickel, or matte black. The chrome handle can also be elongated, matching the wooden one in size.
What’s more, for all left-handed users, you can change your handle from the standard right side to the left. This also comes at an additional cost.
If you're interested, the Rowan rocking or wall recliner is available with a swivel base for an extra cost. La-Z-Boy's swivel bases provide a 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily turn and face any direction.
You can also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can recline at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
To learn more about our Swivel Chair options, check out our list of Swivel Accent Chairs.
Transform the look of your Rowan Recliner by uniquely customizing the wood finish on the base. The standard wood finish is Brown Mohogany but you can also choose from the following options:
The Rowan Recliner falls within the mid-high price range at La-Z-Boy.
While the cost of the Rowan 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.

“This chair is so comfortable and has many different positions you can adjust. The head cushion settings and the lumbar settings are just a few that can be customized. My husband broke his back years ago and has always complained about a chair hurting his back. He hasn’t complained once since we purchased this chair. We love it. [sic]“ Chris and roger E
“I love my new rocker/recliner. First, I love that it’s a rocking chair but I can stretch out when I need to. It’s super comfortable and somewhat compact I was able to fit it in a small den with no issues. My husband says it’s his, but it’s mine!!!![sic]” Maureen
“Thank you to Tarek at Lazy Boy Gallery for all of your help in choosing our beautiful new sofa and Cadillac recliner chair – that I may never get my husband out of! The delivery team was well informed on the products and gave us a demo on how to use the chair. They were polite and on time!” Mary of Kanata, Ontario

Because the Rowan has flared arms and the top of the chair has a square shape, people think it will take up a lot of space. It will take a little more space than the Pinnacle but not much. If you are looking for a leather recliner, the Rowan works well in leather.
The Rowan has a bit more flare but doesn’t have the same lumbar support. It also won’t support your arm, the same way as the Pinnacle with a rolled armrest.
It’s essential to try the chair before you buy so you can find your perfect seat. Most of the time, comfort wins out over style; in the Rowan, you get the best of both worlds.
