Love recliners, hate cheap-feeling ones, hate the aesthetic of the overstuffed ones. Stressless is a popular rec but I'm not into their separated ottoman design, and my wife doesn't like the looks of the powered ones. Is R&B the next best choice, or any other brands that stick out as BIFL?
My couch was part of an “urban contemporary” line they had years ago, so not the overstuffed monstrosity many couches are. I like legs on recliners so the Scarlett and Charlotte are my speed. I just haven’t pulled the trigger because I have comfortable chairs that are still in good shape, so I can’t justify replacing them yet.
Yeah, I went and checked their stuff out in person. Feels really solid. What bummed me out is that their manual recliners require you to go with a separated ottoman that doesn't tuck away, and while the powered recliners do tuck the footrest away when not in use, I didn't really want to get a powered recliner if I could avoid it.
Yeah, they're certainly comfortable but holy crap are they ugly-looking. I went to the La-Z-Boy store near me and everything looked like the kind of chunky overstuffed furniture my grandparents used to have. Again, absolutely not debating the comfort -- but it's gotta pass the aesthetic test, at least to some degree.
Any specific models they carry with more of a contemporary look that you'd recommend?
