Abstract: A reclining chair that is disposable adjacent a wall and can recline at the wall. The chair includes a chair frame, a back frame, a seat frame, a platform, and first and second link assemblies. The first link assembly connects the back frame to the seat frame and the chair frame on both sides permitting the back frame to recline and the seat frame to move relative to the back frame forwardly and upwardly. The second link assembly has arms connected to the first link assembly for moving the back, seat and chair frames simultaneously forwardly on the platform a predetermined distance of forward movement along with the arms of the second link assembly, so that the arms of the second link assembly move the same distance forwardly plus an additional distance forwardly as the back frame is being reclined.
