This set is awesome.  They aren’t listed as wall huggers, but they are pretty close.  We have about 6” behind them and it is plenty.   The center seat of the sofa doesn’t recline, but it flips down to be a table and drink holder, with enough space for coffee mugs.  I keep trying to figure out why this was so inexpensive, especially compared to similar items, but I haven’t seen why.    It’s just a good deal.
