How close to the wall does the base have to be for this to be functional? In other words, if the base is against the wall is the back bar touching?

It's just about flush with the wall. My baseboard is about .5" deep and the top of the rack is about .5" out. Hope that helps.

When the base is against the wall there is about an inch of clearance between the bar and the wall with a towel on it. The towel doesn't touch the wall.

Melissa, sorry it took me longer but wanted to check to respond honestly. We have it next to our new frameless glass shower and when the base is against the tile at the bottom, there is a small amount of room between the bar and the glass...enough to fit a towel on that side. Hope this helps. We LOVE this and not only are the curves gorgeous, but it is extremely well made and gets so many comments about how beautiful it is but also how great it looks in our new master bath. It is a great purchase and since there was very little in the polished brass look, I would have gotten this due to the look and appeal.

Hi Jeremy, The back is finished so that you do not have to have this against a wall. It would be in the finish that you selected for the entire unit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you any further concerns. Sandy, Owner Best Kitchen Products

It does not hit the wall when in place its parallel with about 1 inch between bars and wall.

Mine is installed below a window. It has a very small footprint, especially if you're using it without the baseplate for a three hole configuration. It could be snug against the wall and still be able to work. I have it installed with the baseplate and it measures about 2.5 inches front to back. If you're worried about a window sill, if it hangs over your current faucet and is less than a foot above your sink, I wouldn't get this faucet.

The one back close wall is two inch from floor. The two of side is four inch from floor. Is it helpful?

The design pretty much precludes attaching to a wall. The back bar is required to be hanging on the door frame for the bar to be properly used. Otherwise the stress of the weight of even a small individual would pull the bar of the wall, or bend the frame of the whole bar.

Yes, check out the photo i uploaded....I have it propped against a wall and it works fine.

We have it backed up to a wall unanchored and it seems stable. Base is too narrow to stand alone.

Place chair five feet or so from wall. Recline. Check how near back comes to wall. (must not touch wall) Judge from that how away chair should normally be!

You have to have some clearance on the top and sides. Have never had a failure and mine is between a wall and vanity in the master bath. I do have some room in back, though it is tight on side. Have over an inch of clearance on the top. Hope that helps.

The back of the TV is 5 inches from the wall. Your total answer depends on the TV you attach.

You can put it next to the wall, but not against it. I wouldn't recommend it b/c the hinge or lid may hit the wall. I put ours as close to the wall as we can get it and it is still a space saver.

My chair sits on an angle in my room and the closest corner of the base is about 12 inches away from the wall. It will recline without hitting the wall at this distance.

It is freestanding. Mine is in the garage where the walls have a 4 inch cement footing that sticks out from the wall so it is not placed directly against a wall. the back section of the base is 6 inches to the center bar brace and the front (that holds the bikes) is 18". I have had no problems with it's stability with 2 bikes attached

You can't place it very close to a wall. 8'' to 10'' is as close as you can get and still have full reclining range. The base is fixed so no rocking either.

The back is right around 12". You can cram this thing very close to the wall. Mine is at 2" of clearance on each side but you could go closer.

There is a slight angle to the back of the bench. With the top touching the wall, the bottom of the fabric base is 3" from the wall.
