FAQs
How does the recline function work on this chair?
The Althorpe Wing Back Recliner features a push-back mechanism. To recline, simply lean back using your body weight to extend the footrest and tilt the backrest. To return to the upright position, lean forward.
What are the dimensions of the Althorpe Recliner?
In its upright position, the chair measures 105cm in Height, 78cm in Width, and 82cm in Depth.
What material is the Grey Althorpe Recliner upholstered in?
The Grey Althorpe Wing Back Recliner Chair is upholstered in a luxurious and soft grey velvet fabric.
How much space do I need behind the chair for it to fully recline?
We recommend approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) of clear space behind the chair to allow for full recline and footrest extension.
Is assembly required for this chair?
Yes, minimal assembly is typically required. This usually involves attaching the dark wooden legs to the chair's frame. All necessary instructions and tools are provided.
How should I clean the velvet upholstery?
For regular maintenance, vacuum gently with an upholstery attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, consult a professional cleaner or use a velvet-specific spot cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Can I lock the chair in a specific recline position?
The Althorpe recliner uses a smooth push-back mechanism that relies on your body weight. It does not have a locking mechanism for intermediate recline positions; it will stay reclined as long as you maintain pressure.
What types of rooms is this chair suitable for?
The Althorpe Wing Back Recliner is ideal as a statement piece in living rooms, studies, libraries, or any space where you wish to add a touch of classic elegance and comfortable relaxation.
Troubleshooting
Recline mechanism is stiff or not engaging smoothly.
Ensure there is adequate clear space behind the chair for full movement. Apply firm, even pressure when leaning back to engage the mechanism. Check for any obstructions under or behind the footrest.
Footrest is not fully retracting to the closed position.
Lean fully forward in the chair and apply gentle downward pressure on the footrest with your legs or feet to help it click back into its fully closed, upright position. Ensure no items are blocking its path.
Chair makes squeaking or creaking noises during recline.
Check all visible bolts and connections, especially where the legs attach and around the recline mechanism, and tighten if loose. If accessible, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to metal-on-metal moving parts (avoiding fabric).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Althorpe Wing Back Recliner Chair typically requires minimal assembly. Most often, this involves attaching the dark wooden legs to the main body of the chair. Detailed instructions and any necessary tools are usually included in the packaging. It is recommended to perform assembly on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching the chair's upholstery or frame.
Compatibility
- Space: Due to its recline function, ensure you have approximately 20-30 cm of clear space behind the chair to allow for full extension. Measure your intended area to confirm it accommodates the chair's dimensions (Height: 105cm, Width: 78cm, Depth: 82cm) in both upright and reclined positions.
- Aesthetic: The classic wingback design, stud detailing, and velvet upholstery lend themselves well to traditional, transitional, and even some modern classic interior styles. The grey velvet offers a neutral yet luxurious appeal.
Care
Velvet Upholstery Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently vacuum the velvet upholstery weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent dirt build-up. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile to maintain its sheen.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper and damage the pile. For tougher stains, use a specialist velvet cleaner or a mild soap solution, testing first on an inconspicuous area. Allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause velvet to fade. Position the chair away from windows or use curtains/blinds to protect it.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider professional upholstery cleaning to preserve the fabric's integrity.
