- Is the La-Z-Boy Pinnacle worth the extra money over the Ashley?
- Only if you use the power headrest and lumbar daily or want a rocking base. Those features and the USB port are what the extra roughly $1,300 buys. If you just want a leather power recliner, the Ashley does the basic job for far less.
- Which is better for a small room?
- Both are close: 33 in wide for the La-Z-Boy and 33.25 in for the Ashley. The La-Z-Boy is 2 in shorter at 41 in high, which helps under a low window or shelf. Either needs clearance behind for recline.
- Does the Ashley Signature Design have lumbar support?
- No power lumbar is listed for it. The La-Z-Boy Pinnacle has both power headrest and power lumbar on its 4-button panel.
- Which one lasts longer?
- There is no reliable lifespan data for either. The Ashley lists a metal frame; the La-Z-Boy does not list its frame. La-Z-Boy owners report squeaks and loose upholstery within weeks, so check the warranty at the store before buying.
- Can I charge my phone from either recliner?
- The La-Z-Boy Pinnacle has a built-in USB port. No USB port is listed for the Ashley Signature Design.
- Which reclines further back?
- Neither listing gives a recline angle. La-Z-Boy owners say they wish the chair went back a little farther, so try both in a store if a deep recline matters.
