What to Check on a Used Recliner
With a recliner, everything depends on the mechanism. Upholstery is the easy part; the footrest, the handle or power parts, and the hinges decide whether a used recliner is worth buying. That's exactly what refurbishing covers here, and it's what makes a refurbished recliner worth taking over a cheap new one.
The other thing to check is clearance. A standard recliner needs a few inches behind it to open fully, so measure from the wall first. Wall-hugger designs recline forward instead and suit tighter rooms. Dimensions are listed on each product.

Often, yes. A name-brand recliner with a repaired mechanism is usually built better than an entry-level new one at the same price, though condition varies piece to piece and is noted on each listing.
