Shipshewana Furniture Hoosier Swivel Gliding Recliner

The swivel mechanism is designed to function primarily when the chair is in the upright position. For safety and stability, the swivel motion is restricted once the manual recline mechanism is engaged.

Yes, the gliding action is engineered to be quiet and consistent, making it well-suited for soothing a baby or relaxing in a quiet space. It provides a gentle, rhythmic movement without any jarring stops.

Because this is a manual recliner, you will need to account for the backrest extension. We recommend placing the chair at least 12 to 15 inches away from the wall to ensure it can reach its full reclining position without obstruction.

The mechanism is designed for ease of use and requires minimal physical effort to engage. It relies on a smooth, intuitive release that allows you to transition from sitting to reclining with a simple push or pull motion.

The base is designed to be stable on most surfaces, but we always recommend using a rug or felt floor protectors underneath the base. This prevents potential scuffing or sliding during the swivel and glide motions.
