*details >Our genuine leather recliners are crafted from real leather—no splits, castoffs, bonded pieces, or vinyl matching. Our artisans only use complete hides when tailoring our leather recliners, and we cut and color-blend each by hand.
We humbly submit that our leather recliners are made by the best artisans on the planet! Every recliner is tailored by hand over an engineered wood frame that’s fitted with mortise-and-tenon joinery, with pieces glued, stapled and/or nailed together for extraordinary durability (a bonus: much of the wood we source for our frames comes from responsibly managed forests).
We wrap double-layered foam and fiber batting to each frame by hand. Our cushions are made from CertiPUR-US® certified foams, which meet the industry’s highest standards for content, emissions, and durability.
Then comes the leather, which is cut and color-blended from artisan-dyed hides and then tailored by hand around each frame. Final touches like welting or nailhead trim are applied by hand.

All of our leathers are tailored by hand over a durable engineered or kiln-dried hardwood frame (as a bonus, we source much of our wood from responsibly managed forests). We only use CertiPUR-US® certified foams that meet the industry’s highest standards for contents, durability, and emissions.
Any genuine leather recliner will require some TLC, whether you place it in your living room or elsewhere. These are our top tips:
By the way, if you want the laidback movie theatre vibe of a leather recliner and the cozy togetherness of a sofa, try our leather incliner sofa.
Yes! We’ve chosen our best-loved frames and tailored them in our best-loved leathers, making just enough in advance to ensure they’re ready to ship, but they’re still made with all the quality and artistry you expect from Ethan Allen.
If you want a different leather, go for it! We’ll make it to order in our North American workshops. It may take a little longer, but the wait is worth it.
