Rocker recliners — think traditional La-Z-Boy — rock when upright and lower fully, usually by means of a hand lever. They start at about $350, but expect to pay $600 and up for a well-built model. A trendier option these days for the space- or style-conscious are push-back models, which recline when you lean back. They can cost as little as $250, but, on the downside, tend not to last as long as those with levers, since the mechanism gets more of a workout. Also new: wall-saver recliners, which require only about six inches of space between chair and wall, compared to a foot or more needed for heftier traditional versions (though the price is about the same).
There are specialty chairs, such as massage and electric recliners. The former can be quite expensive (from $800 to $5,000), and the latter are designed for people with mobility issues. Regardless of what type you choose, check that there's no more than a five-inch gap between the seat and the open leg rest; otherwise, children or pets can get caught and injured. Same goes for the lever — make sure tiny hands (or your own fingers) can't get stuck inside or pinched.Recliners are like shoes — looks are important, but comfort is key. When you're shopping, have family members who'll spend the most time in the chair sit in it for five minutes or more. Ask yourself: Do my feet touch the floor when the back is upright? Does the headrest support my head and neck? Inspect the seat and back for bumpy parts. And look for foam with a density rating of 1.9 or higher (most furniture cushions range from 0.9 to 2.5), which will ensure that it keeps its shape longer. Test the chair's footrest several times to make sure it's easy to maneuver.
Listen for squeaks, which may indicate loose parts or improper alignment.Chairs upholstered in leather are the most durable — and the most expensive, about $1,000 and up. Choose a thick, top-grain leather. If you prefer a suede-like feel, go for a synthetic microfiber instead — it resists moisture and wrinkling and costs from $500 to $1,000. (Don't forget to ask how many times a sample of the fabric has been machine-tested for durability — you want one that's been rubbed at least 10,000 times.) Beware of vinyl chairs. Sure, the new, improved material looks and feels similar to leather for less money ($300 to $700). But vinyl is less pliable and can crack. Wool is a top fabric choice because it's long-wearing and naturally stain-resistant. Plan on spending about $1,200 and up.Repair experts say it's usually the nonmoving parts that break on a recliner. So scope the underside of the chair (or, if that's not possible, ask to view photos, videos, or sample "cutaways" from the manufacturer).
You want to see heavy-duty screws, not dinky ones or, worse, plastic fasteners. Don't be fooled by a gimmicky description like "all-wood construction," which may be code for low-quality pressboard — too soft to withstand the back-and-forth motion of a recliner. Get the salesperson to clarify, and actually look at the bones: Hardwood, like birch or poplar, is superior, but be prepared to spend about $1,000 or more. A decent second choice is plywood, starting at a low $300. Finally, with any recliner, check the manufacturer's guarantee and opt for one that spans at least three years.Ready to shop for the perfect recliner?

Still, there's a lot of great stuff to be found at the Swedish furniture giant.
These nine pieces are tried and tested purchases that even grown-ups with grown-up money should consider snatching up for their homes. Based on how often they're spotted in tours and projects on home blogs (including right here on Apartment Therapy), here are the 9 Best Things to buy from IKEA.
