Which is better for a small living room?

The Pinnacle. At 56 inches long it fits where the 81-inch Finley will not. Both are 38 inches deep, so reclining clearance is the same.

Is the Finley worth the extra money?

If you need three seats and want power headrest and lumbar, yes. The $900 gap buys leather, a third seat, and powered adjustment. If two seats are enough, the Pinnacle does the same reclining job for less.

Leather on the Finley can outlast polyester if you condition it and keep it out of direct sun. Polyester resists stains and spills better but can pill and fade. Both are La-Z-Boy frames with similar mechanisms.

Do both need space behind them to recline?

No. Both are wall recliners, so they need only a few inches of clearance behind the back. That makes either one work against a wall.

Which is better with kids and pets?

The Pinnacle's polyester handles spills and claws better. Leather on the Finley wipes clean too but scratches more easily and costs more to repair.

Which has better reviews?

The Pinnacle rates slightly higher, 4.8 out of 5 from 260 ratings, against 4.7 out of 5 from 67 ratings for the Finley. The Pinnacle's larger sample makes its score more reliable.
