Overview

Darwin 8527 Rocker Recliner

Rock. Recline. Relax Your Way.

The Darwin 8527 Rocker Recliner by Franklin Furniture delivers the kind of comfortable, easygoing relaxation you'll appreciate every day. Its mid-sized 36" wide design provides generous cushioning without overwhelming the room, making the Darwin an excellent choice for living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms and smaller spaces.

Enjoy smooth, soothing rocking motion while sitting upright, then use the easy manual release handle to extend the footrest when you're ready to recline. A Swivel Rocker Recliner is also available, adding convenient swivel movement while maintaining the relaxing rocking and reclining comfort of the Darwin.

The comfort starts with Elite foam seating that provides supportive cushioning beneath you, while Elite fiber fill adds softness and loft throughout the chair. A generously padded back with built-in lumbar support and plush rolled arms surround you in comfort whether you're reading, watching TV or settling in for an afternoon nap.

For even more convenience, the Darwin can be upgraded with an available power footrest and USB charging, allowing you to customize the recliner around the way you relax.

Durable 100% polyester upholstery is available in Charcoal and Fudge, two versatile neutral colors designed to coordinate easily with a wide variety of interiors.

Underneath the comfort is a strong furniture-grade plywood frame engineered for dependable everyday use. With a 275 lb. weight capacity, the Darwin combines comfortable proportions, versatile functionality and lasting value in one inviting recliner.

Made in the USA of domestic and imported materials.
