How does the manual recline work?

A side lever or handle releases the back and footrest into reclined positions. You push back to recline and push the footrest down to return upright.

Does it need to be plugged in?

No. The recline is mechanical, so the chair works anywhere without an outlet or batteries.

It costs less complexity and has no motor or wiring to fail, but it lacks powered positions and usually USB charging.

Yes. The base rocks while the chair is upright; most rocker recliners lock out the rock once reclined.

The frame is metal alloy rather than all wood, which keeps weight down while supporting the seat and back.
