Does the Mackmenville sofa recline on all three seats?

Yes. It is a reclining sofa, so all three seating positions recline. The recline is manual, so there is no motor or hand control to plug in.

How much room does it need behind it?

It is 42 inches deep, and a manual recliner needs clearance behind the back to lean into. Leave several inches between the sofa and the wall so the backrest can travel.

Is the cover fabric or leather?

It is fabric in a solid carbon gray. Fabric breathes better than leather and feels warmer, but spills should be blotted quickly rather than wiped.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?

At 83 inches long it is a wide piece, so check door widths and hallway turns before delivery. Reclining sofas usually arrive in sections or need the backs removed to get through tight entries.

How does it compare with a power reclining sofa?

It trades motors and buttons for a simpler manual mechanism. You give up USB charging and power headrests, but there are no motors or wiring to fail.

What should I check before buying?

Measure the wall length, the depth clearance and the seat height against your room. Confirm the fabric color in person if you can, since carbon gray reads differently under warm and cool lighting.
