|
|
My project this summer is to completely redo my home theater, and once its done the one thing I plan to buy for it is some new home theater seating.
I have my eye on a set of 4 chairs from Coaster Seating, I'm looking at the stuff on Amazon because its free shipping.
Has anyone tried this brand of seating out? Anyone own some chairs by them and can tell me how they feel? I'm skeptical on buying chairs online since I can't put my rear in them to test them out...
They LOOK comfortable, but looks can be quite deceiving on furniture...

Yep that's the brand Kal, The seats I have picked are pictured below. They look really comfortable, and they have the cup holders (big requirement since there will no longer be a table for people to use anywhere in the room)
I'm going to probably buy them and try them out. If they aren't to my liking I could probably have a guy I know who does upholstery redo them, but in all likelihood I will probably love them compared to the worn out sleeper sofa I'm using right now.

They look nice!
Cupholders are IMHO a huge requirement for me too. I couldn't live without them.
Those look like they have electric recline? I went with manual simply because it's so much faster to get in and out of. The electric is slooooooow. Maybe it's just me, but when you want to get up and out of the chair it seems odd to have to wait 10-15 seconds (or whatever it is) for the chair to go back to the upright position.
One benefit of electric recline is that it's easier to position the reclining spot in between the 2 or 3 available positions. Mine have notched positions that are either upright, half way reclined, or fully reclined. You can do 'in between' but some of in between spots don't hold well.

Thanks Kal, I thought they had the "theater look" with the red leather. I don't think they are electric. Honestly I hope they aren't, that's just another outlet I have to install for them, and one other thing that I could see failing somewhere down the road.
I can't wait to get them installed and test drive them for hours

And that is the one benefit I won't live without. I have two electric recliners in the center of my two rows, and manual seats in the flanking positions, and I love electric so much for that one reason. The speed isn't really an issue, IMHO. It only takes like 5 seconds or so from full recline to full upright. If I'm in a huge hurry for some reason, I can still get out of the chair without closing it.
My next chairs will be all electric. For me, now a requirement like cup holders.

Well, it's not clear if they are electric or not. I guess either way its not a huge deal, the main thing is that they are comfortable. They look like they'll blow away any seat in a real theater, that's for sure

No Mrs. for me to worry about, I don't think one would let me get away with this hobby like I do anyway
