La-Z-Boy Gemma Chair Review (Features, Dimensions & Upgrades)

La-Z-Boy Southeast | June 30, 2026

Not every seat in a living room has to recline. Sometimes you want a chair that simply looks good and anchors the room — a spot to read, chat, or add a bit of polish beside the sofa. The La-Z-Boy Gemma is a stationary wing chair built for exactly that, blending a classic tufted silhouette with modern lines. Here’s a look at its style, dimensions, and customization options.

At La-Z-Boy, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners find pieces that fit both their rooms and their style. Here’s what to know about the Gemma.

Gemma Chair Features

The Gemma Chair is a stationary chair, meaning it doesn’t recline. That’s part of its appeal: a tailored, timeless shape that works as an accent chair in a living room, bedroom, or reading nook without the bulk of a mechanism.

Its signature look comes from a few refined details:

  • Refined wings framing an elegant button-tufted foam back
  • A loose, foam box-border seat cushion for a clean, tailored line
  • Finely tapered wood legs
  • A high-grade foam seat cushion with double-picked blown fiber fill, so it holds its shape and comfort over time
  • Premium-grade fabrics and leathers tested to resist wear and fading

It’s handcrafted in North America and backed by La-Z-Boy’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Gemma Chair Dimensions

The Gemma chair is built on a tall scale, so it’s most comfortable for people roughly 5’10″ to 6’2″. Taller sitters will appreciate the higher back; shorter frames may find it a bit large.

  • Width: 29.5″
  • Depth: 33.5″
  • Height: 38.5″

Because scale matters with accent seating, it’s worth sitting in the Gemma before you buy. Stop by one of our locations to try it out.

Upgrades & Customization

The Gemma is customizable, so you’re building it to suit your space rather than settling for what’s on the floor. Choose from a wide range of fabrics and leathers — hundreds of colors, patterns, and materials — to take it anywhere from a soft neutral to a bold statement piece. Additional upgrades are available too; your designer can walk you through the options.

Since upholstery changes the whole feel of a chair, order free swatches or compare covers in person before you commit. La-Z-Boy’s free design service can help you match the Gemma to the rest of your room.
