How does a push-back recliner work?

You push back against the backrest with your body weight and the chair reclines, bringing the footrest up. Releasing the pressure returns it upright. There is no lever, handle or motor.

Does it need to sit far from the wall?

Push-back chairs generally need less clearance than lever recliners because the back pivots rather than sliding back. Leave a few inches behind the chair so the backrest can tilt freely.

Is assembly required?

Flash Furniture ships this chair unassembled. The back typically attaches to the seat base with a few bolts, and the legs or base attach separately. Two people make it easier.

What is the weight capacity?

Flash Furniture lists the Carson recliner for residential use. Check the product label for the exact weight limit before buying if you need a high-capacity chair.

How does it compare with a lever recliner?

It is simpler to use and has a cleaner look with no handle, but you cannot lock it at a chosen angle the way you can with a lever or handle recliner. Lever models usually offer more positions.
