how far from the wall should chair be placed in order to recline
1085204
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 can be right against the wall. No distance is needed for the recliner to function

Yes. Pull the side lever out (away from the chair). This should make it recline back.

I am 6.0' and in the fully reclining position (for napping) the heel of my feet our just past the end of the reclining part. So as for me only my feet are unsupported. In the normal reclining position (for watching TV) my wife measured that 12" hang past the end of the chair. So as I said in my review, if you can fit a regular full size reclining chair in the room, that would certainly be more comfortable.

Not very close if you plan on reclining. I eventually had to put it kitty-cornered so that way it didn't hit the wall and leave black marks on my paint. Also, if you plan on rocking in it, keep it away from the wall.

I personally am too short to make the chair lean back, my feet barely touch the floor. However, my husband did figure out that it has a slight recline if you just lean back. Not sure exactly how much of a recline but, I would estimate somewhere around 5-10 degrees back from upright

Mine sits up right next to the wall. I use the wall for support and it does not curve my back. The neck cushion is right next to the wall.

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.

Hi,Jan;I am shorter than 5' too and 17-18 " from the floor is a perfect position for this chair. Put small pillow on the back too.It will keep you straight.Natalia Chapin

The outer two seats recline so I would place it away from the wall if you are going to use them.

The massage location really depends on your positioning in the chair. Reclined you can move up or down to get it exactly where you want the massage. BACKSTORE

I am not too sure of this as I have not reclined the chair as yet. I usually just sit in the chair in the upright posistion. I do like this chair and would buy it again.

Yes it is. I highly recommend this chair. You can set it right next to the wall and it will still recline.

I use a chair cushion because I needed just a bit more height for use at my sewing table. It also helps with that "reclining" issue.

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 measured approx 38" from top of chair to where your bottom would end up and sticks out from a wall about 34" but of course you would not be able to swing much if located up against a wall. I have mine hanging from a frame made for this type of chair which allows the chair to swing freely, but this frame does stick out from a wall quite a distance.

Yes; the chair allows you to recline approximately 4 to 6 inches from sitting position.
