Mention was made of the impossibility of getting the popular huge recliners through the door.

Most recliners ship in two separate boxes, one for the base and the other for the back. If you get one from a decent dealer, they may deliver it assembled; but from a "big box" store you may have to slip the two pieces together.

The instructions (if any) say that the flap on the back is so you can get to the couple of bolts that hold it together, and then smooth the flap down on the (usually) velcro so it looks neat.

It should be noted that some cats ignore the instructions, and may consider the velcro flap sort of a "private entrance" for them to crawl inside and make a hidden nest. A degree of caution may be needed, if your recliner has one of these flap doors, to avoid "squashed kitties" until they've learned where it's safe to nest. (Better quality recliners may have more secure flap doors than some of the cheap ones we've had - or other people may have smarter cats.)
