I see what you're saying. But in reality if you're in the chair reclined then when you get out it's in. So theoretically only one person would have to deal with one recliner being out. If they're both out then you're both in them. Make sense?
We will have the same problem with our rear sofa. It's right in front of the door. So if someone's in the reclined position then someone couldn't go out or come in. Not really that big of a deal as we usually only sit around inside when it's rainy out or in the morning. Once we get up and rollin we are outside in the loungers:)
It almost looks like two recliners would work better as you could swivel them if needed.
