Purchasing a La-Z-Boy represents a life achievement
First big purchase for first time home buyers. High quality and the ability to customize and adjust the furniture.
Was an inside play structure
Snuggling and jumping on the couch. The cozyness and comfort of the furniture gave the participant happy memories with her mother.
Had territorial connotations (Dad’s chair)
It was a race to the La-Z-Boy for some participants as they would fight for their spot on the chair. Meanwhile, others would watch from afar as their father or grandfather rested on the recliner.
Strong connection between children and a father figure
From storytelling to watching football on recliners, these two participants grew their relationship with their father by spending time together.
Comfort and safety
The comfortable and easy-to-recline chair created a safe space for these participants to rest, sleep, and read.
