Know before you buy
A wall-hugger recliner is designed to be placed just a few inches from a wall. Unlike traditional recliners that require significant clearance behind them to tilt back, this model shifts forward as it reclines, making it ideal for smaller rooms or tighter floor plans.
The Henley uses a high-resilient foam core wrapped in polyester fiber, which provides a firm, supportive base that maintains its shape over time. The addition of a channeled envelope of virgin polyester fibers on top adds a plush, soft feel to the initial sit.
The standard nailhead trim comes in a natural finish. While the leather upholstery is highly customizable with hundreds of options, the nailhead finish is fixed as part of the standard design.
The frame is built from 7/8-inch laminated hardwood components using mortise and tenon joints. This construction method is widely considered the gold standard for furniture durability, ensuring the chair remains stable and squeak-free for years.
The semi-attached back is filled with 100% virgin polyester fibers, providing a pillow-soft feel that contours to your back. Because it is semi-attached, it stays securely in place while offering the comfort of a loose-cushion design.
This model features a manual handle located on the outside of the chair. Simply pull the handle to engage the reclining mechanism, which allows you to adjust your position smoothly.
