how much space is needed behind the chair to the wall in order to recline?

I would say 17-20 inches. I have the chair in a corner of the room and the top of the chair is 17" from the wall. This allows me to fully extend the recliner.

I have mine set about 3 inches from the wall and I recline in it all the time.

It requires minor assembly, less than 15 minutes. Yes it is a wall-saver and it can recline to almost flat.

The chair is very small. But it recliners fully at 6 inches from the wall. It is like a wall-hugger.

I use a chair cushion because I needed just a bit more height for use at my sewing table. It also helps with that "reclining" issue.

The depth is ~32 inches from maximum dimension on back to front of cushion on front (what would be behind your knees as you sit in the chair.

Not very close if you plan on reclining. I eventually had to put it kitty-cornered so that way it didn't hit the wall and leave black marks on my paint. Also, if you plan on rocking in it, keep it away from the wall.

Backrest to front: 16,6 inch, add additional 1,5 inch (depth of Backrest) for total seat dimension. From Armrest to Armrest = 20 inch. If you intend to add a cushion this should be higher tan 3,5 inches to avoid slipping out backwards.

The back of the cushion is about 31 inches. My husband puts it in his recliner and it goes neck high. You probably want a high backed chair to be able to sit back and be able to feel the neck massage. Hope that helps!

You will need minimum 7-8 inches. That will leave you with enough wiggle room just in case you have to get back there. If youre in a space where clearance is at a premium you might get away with 6 from the wall. Good luck.

No, it needs to be about 2 feet out from the wall if you want to recline fully.

The chair is not flat when in the most reclined position. The seat and leg extension are flat, and about 43 inches long. The back is at an angle and is about 36 inches long.

No, you have to having it sitting about 8-10" from the wall to be able to fully recline. It doesn't stay in the recline position either. You have to sit all the way back and lay still for it to stay in recline. Any movement and it starts closing.

My chair sits on an angle in my room and the closest corner of the base is about 12 inches away from the wall. It will recline without hitting the wall at this distance.

William is correct - the actual area available to sit is basically 17"x17". The area you would need to tuck the chair under a desk or table is as reported in the specifications.

It does not recline. It requires a floor space of 84 inches long by 32 inches front to back. Cushions are firm, yet comfortable.
