FAQs
1. What is the recommended maximum user weight for this recliner?
Recliners of this size and structure typically support between 110–150 kg, depending on internal frame strength and materials. For long-term durability, it is always best to use the chair within its stated weight capacity to maintain smooth reclining performance.
2. How much space should I leave behind the recliner?
To allow the chair to recline fully up to 160°, leaving approximately 30–50 cm of space behind it is recommended. Adequate clearance ensures smooth movement and prevents the backrest from pressing against the wall.
3. Does the footrest lock when extended?
The footrest remains stable when extended because it is supported by the internal reclining structure. When seated properly, it is designed to hold your legs comfortably without sudden movement or instability.
