Can this sit against the wall? In other words, does the front come up or does it have to be set out from the wall?

It's possible to partially recline the seats without the couch being far from the wall, but if you want to fully recline the seats (to near flat) you do have to have the couch be set out from the wall, but not by a ton. I would put it maybe 2ft from the wall.

I have mine set about 3 inches from the wall and I recline in it all the time.

we did place it against a wall but it did not need to be. The back is a plain white fiber board with about 20 small screws. For me that would be ok, it certainly is not ugly

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

Ours does sit in the corner but you could put just one side flush against the wall. The base might stick out more that way but when assembling you can twist the shelves to work better for the space

Hi Lisa. Yes it does have to be against a wall. There is a backing that goes on it and the back end of the particle boards is not stained, So it would look unfinished. I hope this helps you in your decision.

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.

No they do not have to be placed against a wall. They are pretty sturdy and steady. They are infact all heavy wood!

If you don't want to recline, you can put it up against a wall. If you want to recline, then you'll need a fair bit of space. At least a couple feet. I can't say for sure how much as mine's in the middle of the room.

To lay completely out it does need to be about 5 inches from the wall, its tough tp stay in that posotion unless youve adjusted your weight bacwards after your positioned. If not it closes back up.You can recline some with feet up with maybe 1 inch.

It comes with boards that you must nail against the back of it, but I decided to place mine against the wall and scrap the backing. It would look better placed against a wall either way.

I have one that is actually under a slight overhang and when it starts to go up it goes back away from the overhang and clears so I think against a wall would be fine.

It stands alone in the base. We do not have it braced against the wall. It's really a great buy for the price. Hope this helps.

I have mine just sitting on top of the desk it is not fastened to the desk, I imagine that you could do that on either the right or left side. It is very sturdy with a wall behind it.

It cannot be placed close to a wall as it reclines all the way back. It is not the kind of recliner that can be used that way.

It does not stand up on its own. You will have to lean it against something. Hope that helps!

We attached ours to the bed frame. I don't think it will stand up on its own without securing it to the wall.

No I did not mount it to the wall. It stands up perfectly if you push in the metal stand in the back. I've had it standing up against the wall for several months with no problem. I suppose you could add double-sided tape to the back to mount it more securely.
