In the furniture business for 35 years I've reupholstered many Lazy Boy sofas and chairs. My opinion is that Lazy Boy is the worst made junk you can buy. Most furniture looks good from the outside, but once you've taken them apart, you can see what there made of. I replaced our recliner seat foam and to do so, I had to take the chair all apart. The frame is made of OSB board, the same stuff you cover a house with, glued and stapled together. My expert opinion is this is cheep trash, even for the price. Go somewhere else to buy your replacements.
We also have 2 Lazyboy recliners and a sofa in the stick house with heavy use from us and 3 large dogs, with remarkable wear resistance and no issues at all. 12 years and climbing.

Can understand your point of view with your experience re-building furniture. But maybe you might offer up a suggested alternative? We all would be interested.
