Why and no. ? A guaranteed piece of junk minus any comfort for any of the functions with too many bells and whistles. Don't forget the cup holders : ) and remote control.

I agree totally IMO reclining sofas are ugly unless you spend huge money on a contemporay one and sofa beds the same.Stressless makes a nice reclining sofa but i think ottomans are a better choice .in most spaces.

I'm wondering mainly because you can get so many options like cup holders, it seems like something someone might do. But I haven't seen such a thing anywhere.

(I do like recliners for certain things. I have a recliner in my bedroom because sometimes it's more comfortable for me to sleep in the recliner instead of the bed, due to joint issues.)

(And when I say big comfy family room, I am picturing almost a mancave sort of thing, probably in a basement, definitely not going to be featured on Houzz any time soon.)

I believe Lazy boy and Flexsteel make sectional sofas with those options. You can probably check them out on line>
