Unless you really like the look of wood, I'd put some Olefin on the back
side of the dinette or some vinyl with a slight bit of padding. You can't
scratch either and your chairs wouldn't be offended.
By the way, the getting out easy part -- does that involve leaning forward
and falling on your face?
Seriously, the bad thing about those comfy chairs that make you lean back a
fer piece is that you have to be at your peak of condition to get outor
else have a younger wife handy that doesn't mind pulling.

This is the one you want. It is called the rEevolve. A friend of mine invented it. It is comfortable and works great. Camping world was the first to carry it, they are running another batch.
This is one of those times when a regular guy just tinkered until he got it to work.

I saw at Menards, and I am sure it is sold else where, a carpet from the roll that is very lightweight and can be sewn or glued to make a pocket that the chair can fit into which would protect the wood work from the chair. Its not that bad a job and the carpet was really cheap. ( err, price wise, I consider the carpet good quality as it is automotive quality )
The carpet is non loop style and very thin, perfect for this use.

I'll probably just wrap pieces of pipe insulation around the tubes where they might contact the back of the dinette.
Robert Mueller
Rob, my PO took out the dinette and added a couple chairs that can be removed, a type of hawian Wicker, lol I call it.
They found a table that the legs go together in an "X" and the table top fits on top. It all disassembles to a flat package.
He decided to use the pip insulation to keep from scratching the walls. If you go this route, you will need some of those baby bungies to wrap and secure them or they fall off, ALL THE TIME! More a nuisance than a remedy. I did mention a carpet that can be used to make pockets to cover the chair but I also saw a black light duty moving pad from Harbor Freight, real cheap and not bad looking, made for the purpose. Might look into that as well.
