Space, power, delivery and what happens on the day of a home demo.
Reviewed for accuracy, Wednesday 16 September
Upright. Most chairs need roughly 75–90cm of width and 150–160cm of depth in their standard, non-reclined position — similar to a large recliner armchair.
Reclined. Fully reclined, many chairs need another 30–40cm of clearance behind them. If your chair will sit close to a wall, ask about a "zero-wall" model that reclines by sliding forward instead.
A rough guide only — the consultant will measure your actual space on the day.
A standard single power point is enough — no special wiring required. It's worth having the point within reach of where the chair will sit, since most chairs have a 1.5–2m cord.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Doorway width | Most chairs disassemble into a base and backrest for tight doorways — mention narrow hallways when booking |
| Stairs or steps | Not a problem for most consultants, but worth flagging in your booking notes |
| Flooring | Felt pads are usually included to protect floorboards or tiles |
The consultant brings the chair, sets it up, and packs it back up afterwards — nothing stays unless you want it to.
Your $25 hold: a refundable card hold confirms the booking so a consultant isn't driving out to an empty visit. It's released the day of your demo and never charged if you attend.
No pressure, by design: consultants are asked to demonstrate, answer questions and leave. If you ever feel otherwise, let us know — it affects whether that company keeps getting bookings through us.
