Question:
We’re planning to upgrade our Dellmead theater setup and want to make it a full three-seat section. How much space should we plan for, and which console should we be looking at?

Hey there Nick. If you’re expanding to a three-seat Dellmead setup, you’ll want the left recliner # TP45AR, right recliner # TP42AR, and either the 5" # TP28AR or 12" # TP48AR center console. Each Dellmead recliner is about 27-1/2" wide, so your overall setup will measure roughly 61" with the 5" console or about 68" with the 12" version.
When reclined, each chair extends out to 64" from the wall, but only needs around 3" of wall clearance behind it. So even in a tight slide-out, it fits well against a rear wall or entertainment center.
Do you know your exact wall width in that slide? I can help confirm which console will give you the best balance of comfort and space to spare.

Appreciate the breakdown, Andrew. We measured just under 70” wall to wall, so I think we’ll go with the 5” console to stay safe.
