Where to put a drink beside a recliner
Check the chair through its intended positions.
Start with movement clearance
Keep the table out of the footrest and reclining path. Follow the chair maker’s clearance instructions rather than guessing from one position.
Check the seated reach
A reachable table when upright may be awkward when reclined. Choose a position that works for the way you actually sit.
Leave controls and exit clear
Do not place a drink over buttons or where you need to put a hand or foot to stand.
