Charlotte Onyx is a compact Hi-Leg recliner – 33 inches wide with a deep-black Onyx finish upholstery over exposed tapered wood legs. The onyx colorway suits jewel-toned rooms and modern-industrial palettes where lighter fabrics would wash out.
The Hi-Leg mechanism means the chair looks like a formal accent piece when closed – no rocker base, no side lever visible, just wood legs and clean upholstery lines. Recline via the side handle; the legrest lifts from under the seat, and the back angle adjusts.
Onyx is a color that hides pet hair well in dark-toned households but shows dust. See the Charlotte in the La-Z-Boy store inside our Northfield showroom against the Riley Graphite for a scale comparison.
Questions & Answers
How does the Charlotte compare to the Scarlett Hi-Leg?
Same 33-inch width and comparable seating profile. The Charlotte comes in the deeper Onyx colorway; Scarlett is a lighter grey. Frames are similar; fabric is the difference.
What kind of room suits the Onyx colorway?
Jewel-toned or modern-industrial rooms – spaces where lighter fabrics would look washed out against darker walls and floors. Also works with warm woods.
Does the Charlotte rock?
No – Hi-Leg recliners have fixed wood legs, no rocker base. For rock plus recline, the Vail or Joshua work.
Is Onyx a black or a very deep grey?
Onyx is a deep charcoal-black – reads solid black under warm lights and softens slightly under natural daylight.
Where can I sit in the Charlotte before buying?
Kensington has the La-Z-Boy store inside our Northfield showroom. Hi-Leg recliners like the Charlotte are typically on the floor.
