The First Recliner Made for the Great Outdoors

View the Whitley Recliner slide show

As far as I could tell, my college neighbor Dan liked just two things: lounging around and being outside. Many an afternoon when I headed to class I'd see him out on the patio sprawled out on a beaten-up sofa, sunning himself. If only he lived next door to me now, I'd tell him first, get a job, and second, that La-Z-Boy (lazboy.com), along with Brown Jordan International (bji.com), have created an outdoor perch that would let him do what he enjoys most in style.

Called the Whitley recliner, the seat has a built in footrest that can be adjusted to three positions—upright, elevated leg, and full recline. It has a rustproof aluminum frame covered in all-weather resinweave, which means he could leave the chair out in the rain without fear of rot. The recliner's arms and legs are reinforced with decorative, cast-aluminum ends, so it's OK if he gets klutzy and bangs it into something, which he would, while its red cushions—fluffy and able to withstand hours of use at a time—are upholstered in Solarium, a quick-drying, weather-resistant fabric.

The recliner is part of a larger line of outdoor furniture introduced by La-Z-Boy and BJI; other options include the rest of the Whitley collection, comprising a conversation set, oval chaise, lounge chair, side table, and ottoman, as well as the Graham collection, which features another conversation set, chaise, and dining set. The pieces were introduced to major southern markets at the beginning of February; all—including a third line, the Alexander collection—will be available nationwide by the end of March.

Currently the furniture is exclusively being sold through members-only warehouse chain Sam's Club (samsclub.com), although taking it to other retailers is under discussion. For the sake of all the Dans in your life, give these pieces a look. Whitley recliner, $599; other Whitley pieces, $92 to $1,550. Graham collection, $325 to $1,130. (lazboyoutdoor.com) –Green Genes

One word WAS awesome until this La-Z-Boy set completely starts to fall apart. It's sad that La-Z-Boy does not stand behind their product!!!

Lady Gaga is probably my biggest guilty pleasure in music. I can't explain why I like her.
And you?

These look great. I've been looking for something exactly like this for the last few years; now I just need to find them at a local retailer.

Need to find a loveseat/2 chairs/ottomans. Where can I purchase them?

The NYTimes asks if there could possibly be a market for outdoor recliners....duh!!! Are they crazy....along with his outdoor projection TV and his patio kitchen, my husband is in joyland just thinking about the 3 Whitley recliners he intends to purchase for his football buddies.

I love this collection--I went online to order it, but there was none available, so I rushed right out to my Sam's Club to check it out! One word--awesome!! It's so comfortable, I feel like I could sit in it all day--the cushions are deep and plush and I love the color--it definitely classes up my backyard.
