We never used our rocker recliners as a rocker & it was a pain pulling them out to recline. The theater seating is a wall hugger so it only needs about 3.5 inches & never has to be moved. We were surprised to find out at least one RV company uses Ashley furniture. Some of the theater seating furniture offered at the Tamps RV show was priced very high & some didn't have as good a warranty.
Same with the Lazy Boy recliners, literally right up against the wall and still recline in them, and very high quality . We don't have to do anything with them, they set in the slide area and that's about it. Usually, furniture sold for rv's is higher priced....Lazy boy brand isn't cheap, but we got a great deal and it was still cheaper than anything offered as "rv furniture"...
As we are contemplating doing this, I have a question. Did you have any trouble getting them into the RV? Thanks, John
No issues other than needing my son to help me move the furniture in and out. the rv sofa bed comes apart...that was easy..The Lazy Boy dual recliners backs come off, that also helped with that moving job. The scissor bed was a tad awkward, we opened it up into it's bed position, took the short legs off and walked through the door way and into the living room,(of course the slides were open) .got it inside folded it back into it's couch position and put the legs back on it. I did take measurements on the door opening and measured the furniture to make sure it would go in the places I needed to put it...The wife and I really like the lazy boy recliners and the bed is far more comfortable than the sofa bed that came with the 5er..
