Unique Features of the Rowan Recliner
The Rowan Recliner is a stylish and sophisticated piece that combines modern design with practical functionality, making it an ideal addition to any space, especially those with limited room for traditional reclining furniture.
With its sleek, contemporary appeal and space-saving features, the Rowan Recliner offers an innovative twist on the classic recliner, allowing you to enjoy comfort and style without compromising on valuable space.
Designed with flared arms, this recliner adds a touch of dynamic flair to its streamlined silhouette, creating a modern twist on a timeless design. The clean, split back design enhances the chair’s aesthetic, providing a minimalist look that is both inviting and functional.
The chair's compact profile ensures it fits perfectly into smaller rooms while still offering the comfort and relaxation you would expect from a high-quality recliner.
The welt trim accents on the back, arm posts, and chaise give the recliner chair a refined, tailored look. These subtle details elevate the chair’s design, adding an extra level of sophistication and visual interest to the overall aesthetic.
The welt trim not only enhances the beauty of the chair but also ensures its durability, providing a polished finish that stands the test of time.
One of the most notable features of the Rowan Wall Recliner is its ability to fit perfectly into small spaces with limited reclining room. Unlike traditional recliners that require a large clearance to fully recline, this chair can be placed as little as 7 inches from a wall and still fully recline.
Thanks to the innovative design, the chair’s recline function moves the seat slightly forward instead of back toward the wall, ensuring it can be placed closer to the wall without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
The Rowan Rocking Recliner gently rocks and reclines for total comfort, while the back ratchets down into 16 relaxing positions.
The side-mounted handle allows you to easily engage the recline function, lifting the leg rest into three supportive, securely locked positions. Whether you’re sitting upright, lounging with your feet up, or fully reclined, you can adjust the leg rest to your desired level of comfort with ease.
Additionally, the chair back can recline independently without activating the leg rest, allowing you to adjust the back for comfort without affecting the position of your legs, offering a truly customizable seating experience.
Rowan Recliner Size & Dimensions
Rocking Recliner
Wall Recliner
With a shorter seat height and less body depth, the Rowan Recliner is a great recliner for short people. This small recliner is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”.
It is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone at La-Z-Boy South Texas. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which makes it especially important for you to sit on the reclining chair yourself.

Antimicrobial Leather
As with antimicrobial fabrics at La-Z-Boy, antimicrobial leathers help protect the surface from mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria to appear.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Rowan Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your plush recliner 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.
Handle Options
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.
Optional Swivel Base
If you're interested, the Rowan Rocking 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.
Power Upgrade
The Rowan Recliner is also available as an upgrade in a Power Recliner, which offers a convenient alternative to the traditional manual recliner. Instead of having to push back on the arms to recline, the power recliner features a 4-button control panel for easy adjustment.
This control panel provides you with multiple reclining positions to recline and raise your feet.
In addition, each power recliner comes equipped with USB charging ports for convenient electronic device charging.
You can also adjust the headrest of your Rowan Recliner from a range of positions to help cradle your neck in comfort.
The power upgrade is great for anyone that has any mobility issues or a harder time pushing back on the recliner in general.
Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest
As noted above, you can upgrade the Rowan Recliner to power.
Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.
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.
What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices and two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favorite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you love quickly and accurately.
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.
Adjustable Lumbar Support
The Rowan Recliner can also be upgraded to include adjustable lumbar support for an additional cost when choosing the power option.
Like the headrest feature, you can 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.
Cost of the Rowan Recliner
The Rowan Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $1,039, while the Wall Recliner has a starting cost of $1,089. Keep in mind that this is only a starting cost that does not include any of the potential upgrades listed above.
While this price is considered to be standard at La-Z-Boy South Texas, it is important to understand why La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive than other Texas furniture. The cost is reflected in the quality of materials and high-end craftsmanship in our furniture.
La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of April 22nd, 2024.
Does the Rowan Recliner Include a Warranty?
If you want to have a furniture protection plan for your new leather rocker recliner, you’ll be pleased to know that both the rocking and wall recliner include a limited lifetime warranty!
The limited lifetime warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame. This means that if the frame of your new favorite zero wall recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Rowan will also be covered under our protection plans as well. It is important to note that the material is not meant to last a lifetime, and that’s why it is only covered for a period of time.
