FAQs
Is assembly required for the Althorpe Wing Back Recliner?
Yes, minimal assembly is typically required. This usually involves attaching the wooden legs to the chair base. All necessary instructions and hardware will be included with your purchase.
How do I operate the recline function on this chair?
The Althorpe features a manual push-back recline mechanism. To recline, simply sit in the chair and apply gentle pressure with your back to push it into the desired reclined position. To return upright, lean forward and use your legs to push the footrest down.
What are the dimensions of the Althorpe Wing Back Recliner?
The dimensions are: Height: 105cm, Width: 78cm, Depth: 82cm. Please ensure you have adequate space, especially behind the chair, for it to fully recline without obstruction.
How do I clean and care for the Midnight Blue Velvet upholstery?
Regularly vacuum the velvet with a soft brush attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub). Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. For deeper cleaning, consider a specialist velvet cleaner or professional upholstery cleaning.
Can I lock the recliner in a specific position?
No, the Althorpe Wing Back Recliner uses a manual push-back mechanism that relies on your body weight. It does not have a locking function to hold a specific recline angle.
Is this recliner suitable for smaller rooms?
With dimensions of 105cm (H) x 78cm (W) x 82cm (D), the Althorpe is designed to fit well in various spaces. However, it's crucial to account for the additional space needed behind the chair when it's fully reclined.
Are other colors or materials available for the Althorpe Recliner?
Yes, the Althorpe recliner is also available in Bonded Leather (Brown), other Velvet colors (Grey), and Linen (Grey and Pumice).
Troubleshooting
The recline mechanism feels stiff or difficult to engage.
Ensure the chair is placed with enough clearance behind it and is not pressing against a wall. New recliners can sometimes be stiff initially; consistent use should help loosen the mechanism. Apply gentle but firm pressure when pushing back to recline.
The chair wobbles or feels unstable after assembly.
Check that all four wooden legs are securely and evenly tightened to the chair's base. If your floor is uneven, consider using felt pads or small shims under the legs to achieve stability.
The velvet fabric appears crushed, matted, or has pressure marks.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush, a velvet brush, or even a soft, damp cloth in the direction of the pile to restore its appearance. For more stubborn areas, a handheld steamer used carefully from a distance can help lift the pile, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care
Maintaining the elegant Midnight Blue Velvet upholstery will ensure your recliner remains a stunning piece for years to come.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair. Always vacuum in the direction of the velvet pile.

- Protect from Pets: Pet claws can snag and damage velvet fabric. Consider using throws or covers if pets frequently use the chair.
- Professional Cleaning: For a thorough clean or to refresh the fabric, consider professional upholstery cleaning every 1-2 years.
