There are several places to buy La-Z-Boy furniture in North Carolina. There are two La-Z-Boy Southeast locations in the Charlotte area and one in Asheville. Other independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries are in Wilmington, Havelock, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Cary, and Raleigh. La-Z-Boy Southeast is a family-owned regional retailer (Tipperary Sales, Inc.) operating in three states since 1976. They carry La-Z-Boy’s full collection of living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture. And in pure La-Z-Boy fashion, every location offers complimentary interior design consultations with a degreed designer.

Here’s a closer look at what’s available across the state so you can find the best fit for your next furniture purchase.

When considering Manual Recliners vs Power Recliners, it’s important to know the difference between these two popular options. Manual recliners use a lever or your body weight to recline and typically offer a set number of locking positions, while power recliners use an electric motor controlled by buttons or a remote to deliver a nearly unlimited range of positions. Power recliners often include extras like adjustable headrests, lumbar support, and USB charging, but they cost more and need a power source. Manual recliners are lighter, less expensive, and work anywhere without a cord. The right choice depends on your mobility, budget, and how much time you spend in your chair.

You’ll want to make adjustments in small increments — no more than a half turn at a time — and test the chair between each round until the resistance feels right for your body.

You don’t need a degree in interior design to create a living room that looks intentional and feels like home. You just need a plan.
