What the!!!!! you may be saying.
Well, I'll be building a new lounge suit this year and am building a new recliner for myself. But I have been agonising for months now whether to build a wall hugger or rocker/swivel recliner. Here is the story.
We have a narrow lounge room, only 3.5mtrs. With a wall hugger I can have the recliner pushed almost up against the wall when sitting, and then when reclining the chair moves itself away from the wall to the recline position. My current recliner has to sit like a foot or more off the wall to allow it to recline. Thus it tends to sit more into the room.
The other option is to make a swivel/rocker recliner similar to what many would have seen joey and chandler on friends using. My current recliner is also a rocker, and I just love sitting there and rocking away (much to the annoyance of my clikchic), and since our room is open plan now, I could swivel around easy to talk to clikchic while she is on the 'puter. But I have to give the chair clearance from the wall to recline. But one of these chairs would be so cool, even if less practicle.
Anyone have any experience with these and have an opinion? I'm familiar with the wall huggers (I've built them before) but have had nothing to do with swivel/rocker recliners.
Just thought I'd ask the masses!!
