An electric recliner not working is almost never a dead motor, and it is almost never a reason to buy a new chair. In my years on the store floor and repairing power chairs in the workshop, maybe nine out of ten calls came down to the same short list: a tripped power supply, a […]
The short answer on how to disassemble a recliner is that the back comes off first, and on most chairs it lifts straight up out of two brackets once you release a clip. The base and the seat usually stay bolted together, and you only separate them when a doorway is too tight or a […]
The best heavy duty recliner for most people is one that publishes a real weight capacity and backs it up with a reinforced frame and a heavier mechanism, because those are the parts that keep a chair from creaking and sagging under a larger body. I spent more than ten years on the sales floor […]
Selecting the best alternative to stressless recliners is not an easy task. To begin with, the perfect design does not exist and there are always pros and cons. When it comes to such a large purchase such as this one, if you get the wrong product you will have problems for many years down the […]
Selecting the best high end recliners can be a difficult task. It is because there are so many different products available on the market that makes it difficult to choose the right one for you and your family. There are several things to consider when looking at high end recliners, such as comfort, durability, price, […]
A home theater recliner is the one chair where the extras actually matter. After a decade selling and setting up recliners in the store, I can tell you the difference between a chair that gets used every movie night and one that ends up parked against the wall: it comes down to how the recline […]
The best budget recliner is not the cheapest chair you can find on Amazon. After a decade on the sales floor of a recliner store, I learned that the difference between a bargain and a trap comes down to three things: the weight capacity stated honestly, the mechanism, and what you actually give up at […]
The best fabric recliner for most buyers is a microfiber chair that wipes clean, stays cool against the skin, and costs less than a leather one with the same mechanism. I spent more than a decade selling, assembling, and repairing recliners on a furniture sales floor, and fabric chairs outsold leather in our store for […]
The short version of how to keep a recliner from sliding on hardwood floors is to put gripper rails under the front edge of the base and a non-slip mat under the back, because the chair moves when you push off to stand up or when the footrest kicks out. In my years selling and […]
The best manual recliner for most buyers is one that leans back smoothly without a motor, a power cord, or a remote you have to dig for. I spent over a decade on the sales floor of a recliner store, and the manual chairs I sold outnumbered the power ones for most of that time, […]
