Thread: Tilt back leather chair and ottoman

I have this great leather chair and ottoman set.
The chair itself is a high back chair but it reclines similar to a standrard recliner.

The part I love is that you just lean back no levers inside or out.
Its great if your 120lbs or 220 lbs you just lean back
Its made by lane furniture

I want to find a new one that does this but no luck, all have some kind of lever.
Its getting a little old and reparing it seems expensive.
I would like a similar chair and ottoman in leather something sink in soft

Try Motioncraft. They have recliners which don't use a lever.

thanks i looking for a chair and ottoman all their chairs have inside handle for tilt feature

The reason they have a handle is they are cable-operated and operate a gas strut in the back of the chair. That way you can stop them at any point in the tilt range. I'm not aware of any tilt back that uses a gas strut mechanism that operates on a simple push-back on the arms. The cable and gas strut mechanism is extremely reliable and the cable never breaks - once in awhile a gas strut loses its pressure, but they are MUCH easier to replace than an entire mechanism. Trip handles can be inside between the cushion and the arm, or an outside release.

The other option is a power tilt chair, which is motorized.

Looking for a chair that will last forever, any reccomendations even a little different from what I have now

"Forever" is a long time! I think 20 years is about the expected useful life of most motion furniture in daily use.
