Materials and Construction

The Parker House Radius Recliner features a steel frame that delivers durability and stability. The frame consists of 1‑inch thick, double‑welded steel tubes reinforced with gussets at key joints to resist torsional stress during swivel and glider motion. A 3‑inch thick plate forms the base, providing foundation and protecting the floor from scratches. Each recliner incorporates a 12‑inch aluminum glider track that slides smoothly along the frame, allowing the seat to glide forward and backward without friction. The swivel mechanism is a single‑pin ball‑bearing system that permits a full 360 degree rotation, ensuring effortless turning even when the chair is fully reclined. Upholstery is available in three premium fabrics: ANGORA LINEN, BURLAP, and HICKORY BROWN. The linen is woven and machine‑washable; the burlap is a cotton weave treated with a water‑repellent finish; the hickory brown is a faux‑wood grain fabric that adds a warm, natural look. All fabrics are backed with a high density foam core that provides consistent support and maintains shape over time. The foam is closed cell polyurethane that resists moisture and mold. The seat cushion is a 3‑inch thick, resilience foam that offers a comfortable, supportive feel. Armrests are upholstered with the same fabric and feature a 2‑inch thick foam padding for added comfort. Legs are molded plastic, yet sturdy, with rubberized feet to prevent floor damage. The entire assembly is finished with powder coated that resists scratches, chips, and corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan. This combination of steel, high quality foam, and premium fabrics results in a recliner that is comfortable, durable, and built to last for decades with maintenance.

Manual Swivel and Glider Mechanism

Parker House Radius Recliner’s manual swivel and glider system is engineered for motion. Swivel base constructed from reinforced steel, featuring a central pivot that allows seat to rotate 360° with minimal resistance. A set of precision‑cut brass bearings reduce friction, ensuring that the recliner can pivot. Glider track is a stamped aluminum rail that runs along the base, offering a path for seat to glide forward and backward. When user pushes seat forward, glider engages rail, locking seat in place. Releasing seat allows glider to return to upright position. Manual recline lever attached to cam‑shaft that translates user’s pull into controlled recline angle. Lever’s ergonomic handle designed to fit comfortably in hand, and detent mechanism provides tactile feedback when seat reaches desired angle. Combination of swivel, glider, and lever offers versatile seating experience that can be adjusted to suit individual comfort preferences while maintaining structural integrity.

A spring‑loaded lock engages when fully reclined for comfort stability.

The pivot assembly includes a dual‑stage locking collar that engages when the recline lever is fully depressed, preventing unintended rotation.

The glider rail incorporates a low‑friction polymer coating that reduces wear over time, ensuring smooth glide for years.

The swivel base is engineered with a 360° bearing housing that supports continuous rotation, allowing the user to spin the recliner for a full circle without resistance.

When operating, always keep the seat fully extended before engaging the recline lever to avoid binding.

If the seat feels stiff, gently tap the base to release any trapped dust or debris.

Check pivot regularly and adjust as needed.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keep the recliner dust‑free softly by wiping upholstery daily with a soft brush. For stains, use mild detergent and brush. Periodically inspect the swivel and glider track; lubricate with a silicone spray to maintain smooth motion Store in a dry area to prevent moisture damage

Cleaning the Upholstery

Regular upkeep of the Parker House Radius Recliner’s upholstery not only preserves its aesthetic appeal but also extends its life. Begin by removing loose dust with a soft‑bristle brush or a vacuum equipped with a upholstery attachment. Avoid using a high‑pressure nozzle, which can embed particles deeper into the fibers. For routine cleaning, mix a few drops of a gentle, pH‑neutral detergent with lukewarm water. Dip a clean, white microfiber cloth into the solution, wring it out until damp, and gently blot the fabric, working from the outer edges toward the center to prevent streaks. Do not saturate the material; excess moisture can seep into the foam core and lead to mildew or odor. After blotting, rinse the cloth with plain water, wring it out, and lightly wipe the area to remove any soap residue. Allow the upholstery to air‑dry completely, preferably in a well‑ventilated room or outdoors on a shaded day. If stubborn stains persist, apply a small amount of mild upholstery cleaner directly to the spot, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a damp cloth. For leather or vinyl finishes, use a dedicated conditioner after cleaning to maintain suppleness. Finally, periodically rotate the cushions and check for any signs of wear or tear, addressing issues promptly to keep the recliner in top condition. Apply a fabric protector spray after drying to shield against spills. Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first to avoid discoloration. Consistent care keeps the recliner looking fresh and comfortable for many years. Enjoy lasting comfort and style today daily!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Check for obstructions or misalignment if the recliner fails to swivel. Ensure the base is level and clean the swivel track. Apply a silicone lubricant or a light spray of WD‑40 to the pivot points. If the glider stalls, clean the track and lubricate. Contact support if unresolved. See manual for detailed steps.!!

Not Swiveling

When the Parker House Radius Recliner fails to rotate, the issue often lies in the swivel mechanism or its surrounding components. First, inspect the base for any debris, loose screws or warped wood that could impede movement. Remove any obstructions, then tighten all base bolts to the manufacturer’s torque spec (typically 10 ft‑lb). Next, clean the swivel track with a soft cloth and mild detergent; residue from dust or upholstery oils can create friction. After drying, apply a silicone‑based lubricant or a light spray of WD‑40 to the pivot points. Allow the lubricant to penetrate for 10–15 minutes before attempting to swivel again. If the recliner still does not turn, check the alignment of the swivel plate: it should sit flush against the base. A misaligned plate can lock the motion. Use a spirit level to confirm proper alignment, then adjust the plate screws accordingly. In rare cases, the swivel bearing may have worn out; replace it with a matching OEM part from Parker House. Finally, ensure the chair’s weight distribution is even; uneven load can cause the swivel to lock. If all these steps fail, contact Parker House customer support for a replacement or repair service. Following these steps will restore smooth rotation and extend the life of your recliner. Additionally, if the swivel still resists, try gently rocking the chair back forth to loosen stuck parts; quick fix available.
