What customers say
The overall sentiment for the American Leather Aston Power Recliner is overwhelmingly positive, positioning it as a premium, investment-grade piece of furniture. Customers frequently praise its sleek, modern aesthetic, noting that it successfully avoids the bulky appearance typical of traditional recliners, making it ideal for contemporary living spaces. The quality of the top-grain leather is a consistent highlight, described as soft, durable, and luxurious, often exceeding expectations for longevity. Functionally, the power reclining mechanism is lauded for its smooth, quiet operation and precise control, often utilizing space-saving technology that allows the chair to be placed closer to a wall. Comfort is rated highly, particularly after a brief break-in period, with users appreciating the supportive yet plush seating and ergonomic design. However, the primary point of friction is the significant price tag. While many reviewers acknowledge that the superior quality and craftsmanship justify the cost, the high barrier to entry means that value perception is strongly tied to long-term durability expectations. A minor recurring theme involves the initial firmness of the cushion, which requires time to soften, and occasional, though infrequent, reports of minor electronic glitches with the power controls. Despite these small caveats, the Aston is generally viewed as a superior, long-lasting recliner that elevates the room's design and provides exceptional comfort, making it a highly recommended purchase among those seeking high-end seating solutions.
Know before you buy
Despite its name, the Aston is actually a stationary chair. It is designed with a fixed, non-reclining frame that prioritizes the mid-century aesthetic and structural integrity.
The Aston features a tight back and seat cushion, which provides a structured, supportive sit rather than a plush, sink-in feel. This design is intended to maintain the chair's clean silhouette over time.
Yes, you can select between Natural Walnut or Gray Ash for the exposed arm detailing. This choice allows you to coordinate the chair with your existing wood tones and interior palette.
American Leather provides a lifetime warranty on the frame and suspension system. This covers manufacturing defects, ensuring the chair remains structurally sound throughout its lifespan.
No assembly is required. Each Aston Recliner is manufactured custom to order in the United States and arrives fully assembled and ready for use.
With hundreds of leather and fabric options available, we recommend considering your lifestyle and traffic levels. Genuine leathers offer a classic, aging-in-place patina, while performance polyesters provide higher resistance to stains and daily wear.
