Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Home Theater Seating, where to purchase?

Hey my Axiomite guys and a few gals

Just curious for those of you that have purchased home theater seating online, any recommendations?

Of course I want good quality, at bargain pricing if possible. My wife and I have been shopping around Des Moines at various furniture stores. Most places have the normal 3-4 groupings that are hooked with wedges in the middle. We would prefer finding seperate reclining chairs w/cup holders. I am planning a 2 row system and the back row will be elevated. We did find one very nice leather recliner for about $600. Maybe that is a good price?

Just curious if there are any good values online? I'm sure there would be shipping.

Thanks, Randy

ps: I saw at menards the other day in "Nickbuol's" side of town , they had a brown leather(?) reclining chair for $269, it was not to bad and probably would work, but I'm leary it would hold up.

It might be worth checking in the smaller towns. Apparently it's not unusual for the stores to stock up on home theater kit, find that HT isn't such a craze out in the sticks, and clear out some really nice furniture at a great price.

A couple of friends got great deals that way.

Not sure how big Toronto is compared to Des Moines? I think Des Moines is about 1/2 a million if you include some of the suburbs. We have a place called Homemakers which is part of Nebraska Furniture Mart (most midwest folks have heard of that)...they have pretty good deals. I suppose I'll just have to keep looking. I have found some online places, including Ebay. Most of them are selling 3 row groupings and not individual recliners....

I suppose I don't need the cupholders, heck I drink my beer to fast to set it down anyway

sams club has some that look nice on there site. i purchased mine from the lazy boy gallery locally not cheap though but i like them. i will be posting pics soon almost done.

Here's some pictures of my Parents stuff...they are putting together their livingroom HT...they are almost done.




The sofa, loveseat, and recliner are KILLER! Supple leather, and each seat reclines individually with adjustable headrests.

The brand name is Ekornes. The series is Stressless. And the model is Pegasus.

Toronto is about 2-1/2 million including the suburbs... if you include all the cities that have grown together along Lake Ontario (what we call the Golden Horseshoe) it's about 5 million.

Curtis, that setup looks real comfy and nicely balanced too. Your folks runnin' an ascend speaker system as well? Looks like you've implanted one of those epson printer tv's...no?

check these out

richey...the chairs are some of the most comfortable I have sat in...I am envious. As for the Epson TV.....I got one and my Parents got a bigger one....I have a good friend that works for Epson.

In omaha, NE here. NFM has some really nice home theater chairs made by la-z-boy i've had my eye on for a while. Their clearance section here in Omaha (Mrs' B's) always has a couple in there. Might be worth checking out.

I've seen the one's at Menards as well. They scare me.
