I am not sure when LaZBoy started having all their work done overseas, but the quality has gone down.
We have a leather sofa and two recliners in green leather that were purchased in 1999 when my second son was born. They are all still in great condition, but we do treat them every 6-9 months with leather cleaner and leather conditioner.
Now, we also had a 1999 LaZBoy set that was cloth that did fall apart (the fabric anyway) and we got rid of that and bought a brand called FlexSteel. We LOVE FlexSteel! It is made in the USA and made very well. We get a lot of compliments on our sofa.
