- How does the push-back recline work?
- You lean back against the backrest and the footrest extends as the chair tilts. Releasing your weight returns it upright. There is no lever, handle or motor.
- Does it need to be plugged in?
- No. It is fully manual, so it can go anywhere in a room without an outlet. That also means no battery or motor to fail.
- Does it swivel or rock?
- No. The base is fixed, so the chair only reclines. Shoppers who want a glider or swivel should look at a different model.
- What is the upholstery?
- It is a linen-blend fabric in blue. It breathes better than faux leather but is less wipe-clean, so blot spills quickly.
- How much space does it need behind it?
- Push-back recliners need clearance behind the backrest to tilt. Leave a few inches between the chair and the wall, more than a wall-hugger powered recliner needs.
- Who is it not for?
- Buyers who need powered positions, lift assist or a rocking motion. The manual mechanism also takes arm and leg strength to operate.
- Where is the Renwick Modern Fabric Push Back Theater Recliner Chair with Footrest cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $146.00, as of our latest check.
