Repair or Buy a new Lazyboy Recliner?

Lazyboy recliners are one of the most common things people have in their apartments or houses. They are convenient and comfortable, and come in a variety of styles and colors so they fit into any living space. But what to do if your Lazyboy recliner gets damaged? This article will give you an answer to the question – “Should I repair or buy a new Lazyboy recliner?”

The Frame
One of the most common damages which occur in Lazyboy recliners is the frame breaking. This is a complicated issue since you will need to find someone who knows how to make the frame as strong as the original, or even stronger. There are professional Lazyboy recliner repair services that know how to deal with this particular issue.

Another possibility is doing the repairs yourself. This can be tricky because you need a lot of machinery and equipment, along with quality materials and the proper skills. If you have experience in repairing recliner frames, you can make the repairs yourself, but if not, it is better to contact a professional.

Bear in mind that when you calculate the costs of repairs and transportation, along with the time you have to spend and the inconvenience it causes, it is sometimes easier and cheaper to buy a new recliner. Think about all the costs before making a decision of whether to repair or buy a new recliner.

The Mechanism
The moving parts inside Lazyboy recliners are what makes them special. Repairing the mechanism can be extremely simple or quite tricky, depends on what is broken. It is best to look up a professional who deals in Lazyboy repairs, and get an assessment. Sometimes the repair is quick and cheap, but in some cases, what you pay for the repairs is almost as much as what you would pay for a new recliner, since the mechanism is detailed and complicated. To know whether to repair or buy a new one, you need to find out what the cost of each option is.

The Upholstery
Upholstery is often damaged when there are children or animals present in the house. For minor tears, it is easy to just stitch it up (except for tougher materials such as leather). Your recliner can look pretty good if the stitching is done properly.

On the other hand, if the cover is badly ripped, the stuffing is torn out, or if there is water damage, you probably don’t have the equipment and expertise to fix it. In that case, you can contact a repair service. There are professional Lazyboy repairmen who have a lot of experience dealing in issues like this, and it’s usually not terribly expensive, so you probably won’t need to buy a new recliner.

So there you go – these are the most common things that get damaged when it comes to Lazyboy recliners. In most cases, you will have to asses the options, find out which is cheaper of otherwise suits you better, and think hard before deciding on whether to repair or buy a new Lazyboy recliner.

    Thank God I’ve never married! I’m sure there must be some adgavtanes to having a husband, but I still haven’t figured out what they are.Since I get to choose what my home looks like, it is both stylish and comfortable. Some friends of mine have two LaZBoy chairs and a LaZBoy sofa, none of which I find comfortable. I think the LaZBoy stuff must be designed for tall people: I’m 5’2″ and just can’t get comfortable in any of the chairs.
