Randy,

I have not purchased any furniture yet, but I have found a few leads to (apparently) good sources. We are planning two rows of seating, but we found that the normal "recliner groupings" exceed both our space constraints and budget. On top of that, the wife wants a "sofa" for the front row.

The compromise is that the front row will be a sectional group of 3 or 4 reclining chairs configured as a sofa. By combining one-armed and armless recliners from Berkline, we can build something that looks like a sofa but functions as individual recliners. One source for these is AV Outlet.

The back row will be a raised set of real movie theater seats. I found a supplier of reconditioned Irwin seats that uses original factory fabric. The prices are great compared to new seats (which they also sell).

Since I haven't actually bought anything yet, I can't give a strong recommendation for any of the above suppliers, but I do plan to use them when it is finally time to buy.

Happy Shopping,
[yet another] Randy
