New Product: Gilman Creek Shayne Leather Power Recliner

If you’ve been eyeing a quality leather recliner but cringing at the four-figure price tags elsewhere, the Gilman Creek Shayne Leather Power Recliner at Costco might just be your answer.

This isn’t bonded leather or a cheap imitation – we’re talking top grain leather here, which is the real deal. The power reclining feature means you can adjust to your perfect position with the touch of a button, no manual lever wrestling required. It’s substantial, well-constructed, and has that classic recliner look that doesn’t scream “dad chair” quite as loudly as some others.

Here’s the honest take: at this price point for genuine top grain leather with power reclining, you’re getting solid value. Top grain leather will develop character over time and is much more durable than corrected grain or bonded alternatives. That said, leather furniture does require some maintenance – you’ll want to condition it occasionally to keep it looking its best.

Key Features:

• Item #: 1646064
• Current Price: $649.99
• Top grain leather upholstery throughout
• Power reclining mechanism for effortless adjustment
• Sturdy frame construction designed for daily use
• Classic styling that works with most decor
• Easy-to-clean leather surface

The power function is genuinely convenient, especially if you’re settling in for a movie marathon or dealing with mobility issues. Just remember you’ll need to position this near an outlet, which can limit placement options in some rooms.

Bottom Line: For genuine top grain leather and power reclining at this price point, the Gilman Creek Shayne delivers real value for Costco members. It’s a smart choice if you want leather furniture quality without the boutique furniture store markup, though you’ll need to commit to basic leather care to keep it looking good for years.
