FAQs

How do I operate the recline function of the Althorpe Wing Back Recliner?

To recline, simply sit down, place your hands on the armrests, and push back with your body weight. The footrest will extend as the back reclines. To return to the upright position, gently push the footrest down with your legs and lean forward with your shoulders.

Is self-assembly difficult for this recliner?

The recliner requires self-assembly. While not overly complex, it involves attaching the back, legs, and potentially integrating the recline mechanism. Clear instructions are provided, and having a second person can make the process easier and quicker.

What are the dimensions of the Althorpe Wing Back Recliner?

The dimensions of the recliner are approximately: Height: 105cm, Width: 78cm, Depth: 82cm.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Althorpe Wing Back Recliner comes with a 1-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

How should I clean the Grey Linen fabric?

Regularly vacuum the fabric with an upholstery attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for linen, applied to a clean cloth, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing.

Can the recliner be locked in a specific recline position?

No, the Althorpe recliner uses a push-back mechanism that relies on your body weight. It does not feature a locking lever to fix it in an intermediate recline position; it will return to an upright position when you lean forward.

Is this recliner fire retardant?

Yes, the Althorpe recliner is fully fire retardant and meets or exceeds all current UK safety regulations, ensuring your peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

Recliner mechanism feels stiff or doesn't recline smoothly.

Ensure no obstructions are hindering the movement of the footrest or backrest. Check that all assembly bolts are properly tightened, as loose parts can affect functionality. The mechanism relies on body weight, so ensure you are leaning back fully and consistently.

Chair makes creaking noises when reclining or shifting weight.

Creaking often indicates loose connections. Re-check all assembly points, especially where the back, seat, and footrest mechanisms attach. Tighten any loose screws or bolts using the appropriate tools. Also, ensure the chair is placed on a level surface.

Linen fabric appears marked, soiled, or has minor stains.

For general dirt, gently vacuum the fabric. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb liquids. For tougher marks, use a fabric cleaner specifically designed for linen. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth first, and always test on an inconspicuous area before treating the visible stain. Do not saturate the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Althorpe recliner requires self-assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully, ensuring all components, especially the dark wooden legs and the recline mechanism, are securely attached. It is recommended to have a second person assist during assembly for ease and safety, particularly when handling larger sections or aligning parts. All necessary fittings are typically provided within the packaging.

Compatibility

With its elegant wingback design, dark wooden legs, and neutral Grey Linen upholstery, this recliner seamlessly integrates into various interior design schemes, from traditional to contemporary. It acts as a sophisticated focal point near a fireplace, a comfortable reading chair in a library, or a stylish accent in a living room. Its dimensions (Height: 105cm, Width: 78cm, Depth: 82cm) make it suitable for most standard-sized rooms, but consider your specific space to ensure adequate clearance for full reclining and comfortable movement around the chair.

Care

For routine maintenance, regularly vacuum the linen fabric with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills or stains, promptly blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for linen, applied to a clean cloth, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive rubbing, as these can damage the fabric. Keep the recliner away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading over time. Periodically check and tighten any assembly bolts to ensure the chair remains stable and extends its longevity.
