How a La-Z-Boy recliner is designed and made.
What started out as a seasonal porch chair ended up being a staple of the American living room.
Cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker designed a wood slat outdoor folding chair from orange crates in 1928 - the first La-Z-Boy recliner. A comfortable concept, the chair followed the contour of a person’s body, both sitting up and leaning back. In 1927, the cousins abandoned secure jobs, joined forces, and invested in their own furniture business in Monroe, Michigan. Suddenly, Knabusch, a woodworker, became the marketer, and Shoemaker, originally a farmer, became an engineer. An important furniture buyer refused to purchase any La-Z-Boys from the cousins because at that time La-Z-Boys while very comfortable were only seasonal porch chairs. The buyer advised the inventors to upholster the chair and sell it as a year-round piece. The upholstered recliner was a great success. With financial help from friends and family, Knabusch and Shoemaker patented their invention and registered their trademarks.
In 1931, Knabusch and Shoemaker received a patent for the first automatic recliner.
La-Z-Boy rode their solid reputation and emerged as the Baby Boom favorite into the 1950s. During 1970s and 1980s La-Z-Boy hired several big name celebrities for their ad campaign such as actor Jim Backus (Thurston Howell III on Gilligan’s Island) and actor and former Detroit Lions Alex Karras. Today La-Z-Boy is truly a 21st Century forward thinking furniture and home decor company with retail design showrooms across the United States and around the world.

We have been La-Z-Boy customers since 2002. We owned the Devon sectional for 17 years and recently gave it to a friend. Due to health issues I now need a lift chair that reclines. We chose the Clayton Gold power lift recliner. It was on sale and it has been wonderful for me. I can now get restful sleep and stand up without discomfort. I had been sleeping in a butterfly chair for two years and it was so difficult for me to stand up from. We also bought a pair of Hunter power rocker recliners for my wife and daughter. So happy with these chairs.
I have the Clayton gold as well. But I’m a kid
In regards to making you lazy the theory of it making you more rested and full of energy is exxvtly true as we get older our bodies need the rest and getting your feet elevated in a reclined position helps get your blood circulating in a faster pace and delivering more oxygen to your extremities i am 55 years old and suffered a Major Stroke over 10 years ago that has left me with some paralysis throughout my body and the only place i am actually comfortable in is my Lazy Boy Recliner ! Wher it actually allows me to sleep and rest my lower back area to eliminate pain without medications
My PT calls recliners "killers", worse than smoking a pack a day! Make people lazy and unmotivated he said.
My first ever recliner was a La-z-Boy Cool Chair (Fridge, heated seat and massage)r. My second was a La-Z-Boy rocker recliner, but after 12 years needs replacing. So I've ordered my third La-z-Boy and it should arrive for Christmas. I highly recommend the brand as they are well made and extremely comfortable.
I bought a La-Z-Boy at a second-hand shop for $50. When I got it home I found the factory tag stapled underneath that stated it was manufactured four years earlier. Online price new: $900.
Always had a La Z Boy, but this is my last. When I sat in it when I got it home, there are times that I put my hands under my legs. So a few days after getting the chair, I put my hands under my legs to find the is no cushion on the sides and my hands scrape along the wood.
Some newer styles don’t have much padding. Blame Monroe corporate they try to make every new chair cheaper and cheaper
La-Z-Boy rocks! And this from an employee. :)
can you help me get replacement adapters for my cool chair mate its the massage chair with built in cooler under the arm. iv been everywhere to try and find the replacements but iv had no joy. the chair was my late fathers and I kept it from his house after he died a few years ago and I must have left the power adapters behind. I would love to get his old chair up and running again as I miss him dearly. I hope to hear back from you my friend many thanks for reading kind regards Jason xx
@@jdb7752 that model is discontinued I believe
Unfortunately the quality of the chairs have really deteriorated and the name is the only thing that sells them... examples here on youtube
Sure they have
I have 2 lazyboy recliners and can't find anybody to repair leg lift mechanism but I still love them.
Call lazy boy. They will send somebody out to fix it. I have 3. Just had won repaired a month ago!
@@marianbancroft4795 I called the store and she told me they didn't repair them. I threw 2 lazyboy to the street and they were gone in12 hours. Just bought glider swivel recliner from Havertys and love it.
Carolyn Biezenbos I am in Virginia so maybe they don't do it in all states. Glad you found something that works for you! Be safe!
I just ordered a couple of couches and a chair from La-Z-boy, I hope that I am happy with this purchase. I was happy to hear they are made in the USA. The electric recliner cost $1,300 on sale. I hope it lasts!
Shopping for a recliner, but couldn't find anything at the Lazy Boy store that fit me. They seemed extremely well made, but out of style designing. They mostly look like Archie Bunker's recliner!
all around great brand my favorite owned numerous pieces
Great recliners. I've owned a few over the years and they last 2-4 longer than the competition. They are very durable, the fabric seems to hold up very well and the frame construction is top notch and can handle a lot of use and abuse the same goes for the metal springs and hardware. Excellent chairs that are very comfortable, durable, long lasting and affordable what more can you ask for?
You call over $2,000 USD affordable? Must have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth. And you are paying for that awesome MADE IN CHINA logo.
TekReviews if it lasts 10+ yrs yes, why do i want china shit that breaks and made with toxic chemicals
I agree. The chairs are not the say. As you can see in the video they are using particle board not real wood. Way over charging as well. The quality has been compromised and is not they same as they used to be
We bought those cheap ones we think from Costco and the metal square tubing they use broke in two places. My girlfriend nearly fell out the back of the chair, she was reclining in it and it kept clicking until the back headrest was almost laying on the floor behind her. Luckily I was still awake so I raised her back up by hand. The prices of the La-Z-Boy power models start at $2k USD. Greed is rampant that is for sure, if you could find a local company making furniture that has the power mechanisms to install you would probably get better quality at a lower price.
There not the real ones
I saw the one piece that showed a particle board as the front of the arm rest. The face board was shown screwed to plywood structual piece. It's strong enough. I worked wind turbine construction when they poured the base. They were using particle board for casting the and it never bulged.
@@choe627 Particle board fails over time as it absorbs moisture and is in general a cheaper lower quality material. That is why it is suitable for a form that is torn down after use in a few days. Not great for furniture that will be exposed to spilled liquids that should be able to be kept for 75+years.
I paid $4500 for a couch and love seat and both their backs wore out within two years. Mechanisms are fine but I can't sit on them anymore. The problem is they use polyfil for the backs and have a 150 pound guy testing it. Not to many La-Z-Boys I know that weigh only 150 pounds.
Lazy boys are only meant to last 5 years now. Any blownfiber chair is guaranteed to break down by then.also MOST inspectors are women.
Are all model recliners fitted with your 'contoured cut foam' seat cushions? I ask bc for future replacement, it would be simpler for me to buy a square cut foam to replace. Thanks
6 choices of density in your seat foam? Which do I need for sitting in it all day every day?
Made in the USA with good ol plywood and press wood very good quality woods made with garbage wood if you ask me😜
This looks super professional
Surprised not more subs and views
I bought 2 electric lazyboy recliners 2018, 2019
It is wooooooooooooooooW amazing art.
The quality of comfortable % is higher than Chinese chairs.
How did u purchased
2034 Hiso, La-Z-Boy is the original maker of recliners & has dedicated decades to their functionality, design, quality & comfort. Chinese-made recliners - and pretty much all non-LZB recliners - don’t compare in any way.
which models did u buy?
Sorry, but we are currently locked in a dispute with our local furniture company over a Lazy Boy reclining sofa that literally fell apart after less than 6 months use. They keep trying to "fix" it but it's simply terrible. Worst sofa I have ever owned, hands down....
I just bought a used lazyboy loveseat recliner. It is about 25 years old and nearly perfect. I read they dont make lazyboys like they used to.
Also wish they used plywood instead of OSB aka oatmeal board.
Mine is 2 years old and the osb is disintegrating around the brackets.
Our rocker recliner finally bit the dust. It is 17 years old. The bottom seat stuffing fell out and the reclining mechanism hasn't worked for several years. I am not sure whether to buy a new one or fix it myself.
r Carbee just get it re-elected upholstered .
Great video, but im curious how POWER recliner chairs are tested??????
I have a recliner looks
To me like it was put together wrong originally. Thanks BeV
/ mark.
I had to look this up. We got our chair and in less than a week the side arm broke away. Nothing but staples. No screws or glue.
😏👍 Cool, so thats how it started, i luv my lazyboys yay! 😍
?mmimmimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
La-z-boy best recliners.
the same one that chandler and joey uses in their apartment ?
It's so interesting to see this video! Well done
Beware the tilt swivel mechanisms fails , we must have had it replaced about 7 times!!
Did LZB fix it free of charge?
It's easy to set up
Those people are at maximum comfort.
I will….I must ….I shall own a Lay-Z-Boy, lol!
Sub upholster? Don't you mean stuffer? You didn't even include the seat, back and body positions. And you skipped the finaler
There used to be a Lay Z Boy plant is south west MO either Joplin or Neosho. I wonder if it closed?
It’s in Neosho and the plant is open.
Does La Z Boy use cardboard in their furniture?
Can you give me the recliner makenisume techniques.pls.
2 and a half seconds on the wooden frame in this video?
While I hate the way they look, there is nothing like a lazy boy and NFL in the fall. 👌🏻
At :57 the recliner handle on the hand drawn chair is in the wrong position, or if it is in the extended position, THE CHAIR MECHANISM IS BROKEN!!!!
I've had two LA-Z-BOY recliners in the past 15 years and although they may be comfortable, they are NOT very mechanically reliable. I have no idea how they compare to other recliners because as I said I've only ever had LA-Z-BOY.
Stanley Muir, call La-Z-Boy. The springs, mechanism (&something else) have a lifetime warranty. Maybe they’ll repair them.
I want to see the chairs in the lunch room the workers sit on.....👀 do they recline 😂 forget the robots
They are hard plastic school cafeteria chairs. Lazyboy uses no robots it’s all handmade and brutal on the workers bodies
I life in Monroe
Proud Republican i also
recalled
is it 20,000 or 30,000 per week OMFG
I bought a new recliner with a fridge build right in to it.
can you tell me what the power adapters are for the fridge and the massager please mate as I have lost mine, well it was my late dads old chair and I would love to get it going again many thanks brother xj
i went looking at there store here in perth, and as soon as i saw the made in china label, i walked out. spent my $5000 on a local companys product.
Yeah the greed is amazing. I have seen the same Made in China chairs sold under many different brand names and they were listed for $369 to $549 with a tag saying "Regular Price $1,500". As if they were ON SALE all year long when that was the normal retail pricing.
TekReviews tvs do this as well, msrp is msrp
@Tong Zou The ones sold in America sure but no way do they sell American made ones outside of the country.
Why the hell did I watch the whole thing and wrote that comment?
Very nice recliners. Don't you mean LAY-Z Boy though?

Comfyneet.mp4
fast forward to 2016 and they have ruined them with fake leather poor customer service mechanical problems and sales people that lie about the leather its just disgraceful and a disappointment.
Rob C that and plastic three position locks that wear out every couple years...parts are free but they charge 14$ to ship...bullshit
Our new LAZY BOY filled the house with a bad odor that bothered our sinuses... after months of "airing out" the smell and effect are still there... Can't be good for people...
E we wow
Mine lasted 3 months and the cheap plastic hardware started to break, and never stopped breaking over and over. Lazboy builds trash.
I thought it’s just a made up name in friends
My is three years old all the leather is coming off for the money I paid they suck never buy another
Uras benlioğlu'ndan gelenler ve türkler like atın
La-z-boy aka granddaddy’s chair
those ones are the good ones.. nowadays they are made very cheaply.
If you knew how they were REALLY built you would never buy one
lopsided wobble
It's funny, most of the people using these recliners in your video are women, why not call it LazGirl? I got one 15 days ago and I am not satisfied. I want to it for the one at the store which is identical to mine. It has even given me backaches. A technitian sent by their care company came, I am sitting on it right now and no, I still want the one at the store, I don't care if it is a few years old. And this is how I found this video.
rusev18778@missing month
hate to break it to you. not a lazboy. managed lazboy 35 years. this is the reason i believe nothing i read on prodcts
camshast63@628 adverse action
C grade plywood and staples. Total trash.
gets the job done
Well when you have to fill in large orders... the plant I work at between day and night shift does and average of 9000 units every week... what would you use?
Are those Hispanics legal?
