I don't post very often, but I wanted to respond to buying a recliner without trying it first - DON'T!

I have bought two different styled microfiber material recliners from QVC and both went to the Salvation Army after a couple of years. At $600 per chair - and that did not include shipping - that was a major loss for me.

I fell for the ezpays and the convenience of not having to go into a store...........

The first one did not retain it's shape - it was an oversized recliner which I loved and super comfy when it was received, but after months of use it was like sitting on a board and the seat cushion and the back had a separation between them and the chair warranty did not cover that.

The second one had 'memory foam' and it was as hard as a rock to sit on and the way it was cut on the head rest and the leg rest really made me sore and uncomfortable. It did NOT conform to my body.

The cost of a return for a non-defective chair was way too high to even consider, plus try to rebox one of those! Mine came in 2 pieces and the top needed to be attached to the bottom which isn't a big deal unless you have a physical limitation. But, that attachment can be a real pain to take apart and might take two people to do it.

I waited for local recliner sales and went to the store and got a great deal with free delivery.

These were my experiences, but you won't know how you fit into the chair until you sit in it.....and, the idea that it's okay for a person's feet to hang over the end doesn't make sense to me. The recliner my husband now uses fits his 6'1" frame and his feet are on the footrest and he is totally comfortable.

Thanks for your input!

Definitely shop around in ur local stores. The width of the seat is very important. If you have short legs (like I do), the seat would need to be more narrow. That's why there are many styles, sizes & materials. Whenever I plan to buy something, I google the product and read the reviews so that I have a good idea what's available.

I do not know about this particular one but we have 5 La- Z- Boys in our home and we like them very much. They are the only one we buy and they last a long time too.

the red flags are usually when the hosts say "made exclusively for QVC"....which means it is a lower-quality version of what is found in stores....at least that has been my experience for many things that were TSVs.......interesting I have never been able to find the exact chair they offer on the LaZyboy site or in their store , making it impossible to compare.

Is it as comfortable as it looks? I sure could use a recliner.

Anyone already have one?

Lazy boy can you please bring a chair to qvc style 010512, these chairs that are on are way to long in the leg. I don't wear high heels to sit in a chair at home so my feet can hit the floor. Sitting back in the chair my feet are about 5 to 6 inches from the floor and you wind up sliding down and that is very uncomfortable. I am 5"4. I am sure there are alot of us shorter people who would be out there buying. katox15@aol.com

The seat measurements on the TSV chair are smaller than the recliner in my living room. Though I did just look at some of the other chairs the Q offers online, and the TSV one is slightly larger than some of those. I prefer a roomier seat so my doggie (beagle mix, not a teacup, lol) can sit in the chair with me. But that's just me.

I can't believe people would buy a mattress or chair without trying them out first. Those big items are impossible to return if you don't like them or are defective. LaZy-boys are sold all over. Go to the stores and sit in them before buying. Plus if its defective, you call the store . These big items should not be sold on tv, IMO.

I recently paid a fortune for two La-z-boy recliners and couldn't be more disappointed. I bought them because I thought it was a very high-quality brand. Perhaps it was in the past. These chairs are cheaply made and terribly uncomfortable if you sit in them for a while. I would never buy another one. I've had a repair person out twice because I literally could not get them to recline. These did not have the handle. You just have to push them back. He said that's a serious problem with these chairs. The sales people don't mention that. The ones on the floor of course have been used a million times so they glide easily. Also, if you're going to buy the ones on QVC, ask what the clearance has to be behind them in case you want to place them on a wall.

A few weeks back I went to my local Laz-Z-Boy store and sat on more than 2 dozen recliners. I have no idea how people buy a chair without sitting on one first - and I mean one of the same model you're buying. Different chairs fit different bodies. I need a shorter seat than someone like David; my feet wouldn't reach the ground in a chair designed for someone 6'4"!

My choice was a memory foam chair in leather - price about double the TSV price, but it was the only recliner on the sales floor I was willing to own.

Also, Laz-Z-Boy quality varies greatly. I'd want to deal locally for that reason alone. Friends of mine just received a sofa and 2 recliners. The chairs are excellent, but after several weeks they are just coming to an accommodation with the company to get the sofa replaced. Why it was ever shipped given the defects it has, I can't imagine!
