In 1929, cousins Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker created a wood-slat folding porch chair that followed the curve of a person’s body, in both sitting up and leaning back positions. They upholstered it and the first chair of its kind was born. It was an instant hit, and after holding a naming contest, the “Two Ed’s” decided to call it a La-Z-Boy. 

For those who need a professional’s opinion before they begin the decorating process, La-Z-Boy offers complimentary in-home design in which certified designers help you choose colors, fabrics and accent pieces such as lamps and rugs. It’s like having your own personal interior designer at you fingertips.

Its unique screen test system allows customers to see how their favorite fabrics and leathers look on select furniture pieces and helps pre-arrange your furniture so you can gauge the layout before you get home.
