Can't recommend Flexsteel for wall-hugger, as the one I bought the recliner mechanism that moves the seat forward broke down within four years, composite rollers cracked and split. However, the rocker recliner we got at the same time is just fine ten years later.
We went from LazyBoy to Flexsteel to get a smaller size (to fit our small bodies) and for the guarantee on the seat structure, because the coil spring seating on our two LazyBoy recliners collapsed within five years, especially once adult kids came home and started plopping into the seats rather than sitting more gracefully, and sitting double. This experience was not particularly new, as my father-in-law broke through two different sofas that we had used for 10-20 years without trouble.
