# Lancaster 8578 52″ Extra-Wide Leather Match Power Rocker Reclining Chair & A Half
## **The Comfort of Leather Where It Matters Most — Without the All-Leather Price.**
The **Lancaster 8578 Power Rocker Reclining Chair & A Half by Franklin Furniture** combines oversized comfort, power reclining and the upscale look and feel of **Leather Match upholstery**. At an impressive **51.75″ wide**, the Lancaster gives you substantially more room than a traditional recliner, creating an inviting place to stretch out, curl up or simply enjoy more personal space.
The Lancaster combines the soothing motion of a **rocker recliner** with effortless **power reclining**. When sitting upright, enjoy a gentle rocking motion. When you’re ready to put your feet up, simply use the power control to smoothly extend the footrest and settle into your favorite lounging position.
Comfort comes from Franklin’s **WOW Seating System**, featuring gel-blended foam designed to provide a luxurious balance of plush softness and dependable support. Generous cushioning through the seat and back combines with thick pillow-padded arms to create the kind of comfort that invites you to stay awhile.
A conveniently integrated **USB charging port** keeps compatible phones and devices powered while you relax.
What makes the Lancaster an especially attractive value is its **Leather Match construction**. Genuine leather is used on the primary areas your body touches while a carefully coordinated matching material is used on areas that receive less direct contact. This gives you the comfort, feel and appearance of genuine leather where you experience it most—without the significantly higher cost of covering the entire recliner in leather.
The result is a smart combination of **genuine leather comfort, upscale styling and exceptional value**.
**Made in the USA of domestic and imported materials.**
## Why Choose Leather Match?
### ■ **Genuine Leather Where You Feel It Most**
Leather Match places **genuine leather on the primary seating and touch surfaces**, allowing you to enjoy the natural feel and comfort of real leather where it matters most.
### ■ **A Smarter Alternative to All-Leather Furniture**
On an all-leather recliner, genuine leather is also used on outside panels and other areas you rarely touch. Leather Match uses a coordinated matching material in these areas, helping reduce the overall cost while preserving the leather experience on the seating surfaces.
### ■ **Premium Look Without the Premium All-Leather Price**
The matching material is selected to coordinate with the genuine leather, creating a cohesive appearance while providing **significant value compared with an all-leather recliner**.
### ■ **You Pay for Leather Where You Actually Use It**
Leather Match focuses the investment in genuine leather on the areas that contribute most to your everyday seating experience rather than using expensive leather on areas such as outside backs and sides.
### ■ **Ideal for Large Recliners**
The value advantage can be particularly meaningful on an oversized **51.75″ chair-and-a-half** like the Lancaster. Larger furniture requires considerably more upholstery material, making Leather Match an appealing way to enjoy genuine leather seating surfaces at a more accessible price.
