Picking Out the Right Recliner - Blog Entry

16 Aug 2006 10:40 AM

As a former retail sales person and later on manager, I could not agree more with what you have said here. I would add to it, though:

Recliners are one of those few pieces of furniture that have mechanics to them. Find out if there is a warranty on the reclining mechnism from the retailer and/or the manufacturer. I know that both Lane and Lazy Boy have good warranties on their reclingin mechnism.

Secondly, I would make sure that the recliner reaches the positions that you and or your spouse want.

Finally, make sure the recliner will fit through doorways. Additionally, find out if the recliner comes apart. The back will come off of some, but not off of others.

If people would do what you mentioned as well as these three things, there would be many fewer calls to customer service, returns, and unhappy customers.
