Children copy the furniture adults use, and a recliner is high on that list. This one is scaled for them: 24 in wide and 28 in tall in the sitting position, opening out to 34.5 in long once the footrest comes up. There is no lever to find, no button to press. A child leans back against the high backrest, the retractable footrest swings out, and that is the whole mechanism, which means a 3-year-old can work it without being shown twice. The frame is wood, sturdy and stable, and the seat is filled with high-density foam over a spring-loaded cushion so it stays springy rather than flattening after a month of cartoons. The upholstery is a soft velvet-feel fabric chosen to be kind to skin and to survive being sat on hard, and a cup holder in the arm gives a juice box somewhere to live that is not the carpet. Anti-slip feet keep the chair where it was put and protect wood floors underneath. It holds up to 150 lbs and suits children aged 3 and up, and assembly is a tool-free two-step job.
