We had recliners built for us due to my height. On the ones that came in the DP my head was hanging off of the back and the leg rest was too short.
We found they would build them in whatever grade of material you wanted meaning from cheap to very high quality. They didn't offer just one level of covering that was either good or bad. It's you that's picking the level of covering now, not the RV maker.
When we got to talking colors and trying to match what was in there, they had us go underneath the furniture we were keeping, snip off a small piece and send it to them to match it.
You also have to make sure it will come apart so you can fit it in the door of your MH. Provide them the door measurements. the last thing you need is to have a piece of oversized furniture delivered that you can't get in the door.........
We looked to just buy something off of a store floor for a couple of years, never did find anything. Either it was too small, too wide to get two chairs in where we wanted, terrible colors, uncomfortable or poor quality. We stopped in a lot of furniture stores while traveling across the country. Finally what we did was go to a couple of RV shows for the higher end DPs, sat in the furniture for a while and then if we found something we liked, we tipped it over, took pictures of the furniture makers tags and then called them later.
