Know before you buy
While the chair has a compact footprint of 39 inches in depth, you will need to account for the reclining clearance. Ensure you have enough room behind the chair for the back to tilt and in front for the footrest to extend fully.
This model uses a manual external latch located on the side of the chair. Simply pull the latch to release the footrest and recline the backrest to your desired position.
Velvet is durable but can be sensitive to spills. We recommend spot cleaning with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent, and vacuuming regularly with an upholstery attachment to keep the fabric looking fresh.
No, the gliding motion is designed to function primarily when the chair is in the upright, seated position. Once you engage the reclining mechanism, the gliding feature is locked to ensure stability.
The chair arrives partially assembled, typically requiring you to attach the backrest to the base. It is a straightforward process that usually takes one person about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
This chair features a tight back design, which provides a firmer, more structured feel compared to loose-cushion recliners. This offers consistent support for your back rather than a sink-in sensation.
