Questions and answers

Which is better for reading or watching TV?
The Affinity. Its seat is deeper and wider at 21 by 21.5 inches, and its curved back gives more support. The Waverly sits an inch higher and has a smaller 19.5-inch seat.
Is the Waverly worth the extra money?
Only if you want its wavy shape and wider 37-inch back. The Affinity costs $329.81 at Home Depot versus $526.22 at Walmart for the Waverly as of November 3, 2026, and holds more weight.
Which holds more weight?
The Affinity, at 507 lbs. The Waverly is rated for 330 lbs.
Which is easier to move?
The Affinity. It weighs 38 lbs. The Waverly weighs 83 to 91 lbs, so plan for two people.
Do either need assembly?
No. Both come fully assembled. The Affinity includes plastic floor glides, and the Waverly has adjustable non-marking foot pads.
