Same 40-inch Joshua frame as the Chestnut version, in Ash – a cool grey-neutral with slightly more contemporary feel. Sloping padded arms, tiered back cushion, generous 40-inch seat depth that fits taller sitters comfortably.
The Ash colorway pairs with cool-toned rooms (whites, cool greys, blues) where Chestnut would fight the palette. Rocker base at rest, side-handle manual recline, chaise seat that goes flat when the legrest is up.
If you’re debating Joshua Ash vs. Joshua Chestnut, come sit in both at the La-Z-Boy store inside our Northfield showroom – the fabric hand is identical; the difference is entirely color.
Questions & Answers
Is Joshua Ash the same frame as Joshua Chestnut?
Yes – identical frame, mechanism, and dimensions. The only difference is the fabric color: Ash is a cool grey, Chestnut is a warm brown.
Which colorway works better for a modern room?
Ash reads more contemporary because grey neutrals ground modern-leaning spaces. Chestnut leans traditional. Sit next to the rest of your room’s upholstery to decide.
Does the Joshua Ash rock?
Yes – the rocker base moves smoothly at rest, so the chair works as an active-seating piece even without reclining.
How tall is the Joshua Ash?
It measures 42 inches high – a full-scale silhouette that reads present in the room. Combine with the 40-inch width and depth for its overall footprint.
Can I get a custom cover on the Joshua frame?
La-Z-Boy offers a custom-cover program on most frames. Ask our La-Z-Boy specialists in the Northfield showroom for the current fabric library.
