| My house is a cape and I'm attempting to fit a recliner in a small corner with slanted ceilings. Anybody have any suggestions for a small recliner (maybe in the 32 to 34 inch wide range) that does not require a lot of distance from the wall but is still able to fit somebody who is about 6'2 210 pounds? I'm not sure if this is a hopeless case but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask:)
Thanks,
|

| DO NOT BUY LazyBoy furniture. I thought I was buying a quality brand. I paid twice as much for the LazyBoy Furniture than anything in Raymour Flanigans or JC Penney, Macys etc.. They promised me quality and service. They lied. Since the day I received the Furniture almost a $3000 purchase, I have had problems. I have made numerous Phone calls and emails and I don�t even get a Call back. This company does not stand Behind their products even within the first Minute it arrives. They completely ignore You. I would have never dreamed a company Like this would have such a bad attitude. PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING. I WISH SOMEONE WARNED ME. SHAME ON LAZYBOY. |

| I too am looking for a smaller recliner. However, I am also considering a tilt back chair becasue I don't think my room can handle the fully extended length of a recliner. Hancock and Moore has tilt backs and recliners, some of which are as narrow as 33 inches. I am finding it difficult to locate furniture show rooms which have a good selection of these types of chairs in stock. I am very hesitant to purhcase without actually sitting in the furniture. Good luck. |

| I would strongly suggest looking at a Stressless recliner from Ekornes. Especailly due to the smaller size and comfort they provide. |

| Find a store that has "best chair" brand for you to see. |

| I just picked up a Hancock and Moore 3032 this weekend and it is a wall hugger that is VERY comfortable. It has lumbar/lower back support. If you don't have a place that carries them, order one from Duane at the Keeping Room. |

| I would recommend the Rialto or Harbor Town model from La-Z-Boy...but being small & fitting a 6'2" 210 lb guy is gonna be a challenge!!! You'll find the best selection there in any case with knowledgeable salespeople. I worked for them for 7 years in many leadership positions, have been to the factories & know the top brass. And just some advice on negative reviews on ANY manufacturer (cause you'll find them on ANYONE)...there is no business that I know of that overtly tries to make customers unhappy. They would not have much longevity in the business. There will always be sour grapes customers who have filed illegitimate & false claims of defects to a manufacturer thinking they can get new furniture every year despite abuse of the product. Take this negativity with a grain of salt when you don't know the other side of the story. ~Jeana |

| Bradington-Young has measurements at their site. I bought 2 4014 (in leather), but I am 5' 7", vice over 6', but these chairs are probably better suited for a little taller person then myself;my wife 5' 9" likes the chairs very much. Having said that, we have a friend that is only 5' 1" and despite having other very nice seating as well, she almost runs to sit in one of the 2 B-Y chairs! Also, the Hancock & Moore, their tilt backs do not have a built-in foot rest, so I'm not sure if you have the room or want a foot stool? We bought the B-Y chairs over the H&M chairs due to the higher cost of the chair(s) and the addition of foot stools. |

| I bought 2 Bradington Young tilt back chairs because of the small size. The matching ottoman is a half moon shape & also saves room. I am very short at 4'11'' & I can sit back with the back up & my feet reach the floor. My boyfriend at 6' 225 lbs at first said that they were too small until I told him about the tilt back feature & he now loves the chairs. They are the 1521 chairs & 1521OT ottomans. Look at them on line as they are smaller scaled. I had sat in one when I worked at another furniture retailer & was told that they were just as comfortable for a taller person which my boyfriend testifies to. |
