Do you have a young child in your family who has recently had surgery or suffers from some type of mobility issue? Are they having difficulty sleeping in a bed? If you answered yes to either of those questions and have been looking for an alternative, you’re going to love this review.
Flash Furniture isn’t a big, well-known brand, but they have a reputation for making quality furniture, and the Flash Furniture Microfiber Kids Recliner is no exception. It’s kid-friendly, fun, and, most importantly, comfortable!
In the sections below, we’ll give you full details on everything this pint-sized chair has to offer, so you’ll have all the information you need to decide for yourself if it’s the solution you’ve been looking for. If that sounds good to you, let’s dive right in and take a closer look!
Flash Furniture Contemporary Microfiber Kids Recliner Overview
Fun and cute! Those are the first words you’re likely to think of when you see the Flash Furniture Microfiber Kids Recliner for the first time. Before we go any further though, let’s take a quick look at the basic stats for this chair:
Chair Specifications
So, the first thing that probably jumps out at you here is the fact that this chair isn’t for older children or teens. It’s exclusively a chair designed for youngsters. Not only does it sport an incredibly low, small seat, but that maximum weight limit also defines this chair as something your child will almost certainly grow out of fairly quickly.
That’s not a bad thing: If you have a child with a mobility issue, then you need one, even if it won’t be in service terribly long. The good news is, Flash Furniture is practically giving this chair away, so even if your child outgrows it in a year (or less – you know how growth spurts can be!), it’s still money well spent.
Color and Upholstery Options
If you decide you want one, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s offered in a staggering array of color and upholstery options. They are:
- Vinyl
- Fabric
- Leather
Granted, the leather is bonded leather, so it’s not as supple, durable or long-lasting as genuine grain leather. But for the price the Microfiber Kids Recliner is being sold at, that’s not at all unexpected.
Adjustability & Comfort
The Flash Furniture Contemporary Microfiber Kids Recliner isn’t at all adjustable, but it is super comfortable, utilizing generous amounts of block foam beneath the upholstery type and color of your choice.
The recliner also features a safety recline mechanism. It won’t recline at all unless your child is in a seated position, pulls the Ottoman out at least 1” and then leans back against the seatback to make the chair recline.
It also doesn’t lay perfectly flat, but that’s not a deal-breaker for a chair like this. It’s because sleeping flat in a bed is impractical for one reason or another, and the chair does recline sufficiently that it provides a cozy sleep environment.
Best of all, it looks just like an adult recliner and doesn’t take up a lot of space. So, even if you have a smallish room, you can probably find a way to set it right next to your recliner so you can keep your little one company!
Storage & Extras
The pint-sized Flash Furniture Kids Microfiber Recliner doesn’t come with any onboard storage, but it does have one valuable extra – a cup holder! Just fill up your little one’s favorite cup (sippy or otherwise), give them a good book, or put on a movie, and they’re in business.
Then, when it’s time to sleep, just add a cozy blanket, and they’ll be able to get some good quality rest.
No Assembly Required
If you order this miniature recliner, there’s nothing to do. It will arrive at your door in a modestly sized box, all ready for first use. Just take it out of the box, set it where you want it to go, and invite your child to have a seat!
Pros & Cons of Flash Furniture Microfiber Kids Recliner
The only real negative we can think to mention here is the absence of some kind of storage pocket. That’s a very minor complaint, really, and the reality is that for the money, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better value on the market today.
Flash Furniture Microfiber Kids Recliner Review Conclusion
The Flash Furniture Microfiber Kids Recliner is entirely self-selecting. You either find yourself in need of one, or you don’t need it at all. While there are a number of decent children’s’ recliners on the market today, in our view, this Flash Furniture model is the best of the lot.
It’s low-priced, comfortable, and there’s no setup required. Your child will probably outgrow it fairly quickly, but until that day comes, it will provide a perfect little nest and a nice alternate sleeping space. On that basis, we provisionally recommend it. If you’re a parent or grandparent, this little chair could be a game-changer!
