Great Theater Chair - Very Comfortable
I'm writing this to answer a lot of the basic questions and cons i see in most reviews. I didn't buy these for elderly people, 300lb + people, or extremely skinny, tall, or other irregular shaped people. I am 5'10 240lbs, size 38 jeans. I have roughly 2-3 inches on both sides of me when i sit in this chair. My wife is 180lbs 5'6 and has no problem reclining in the chair nor putting the foot rest back in it's place, and she is extremely comfortable while reclining in any position. You -can- just use the heat without the massage, you just have to click it to normal mode massage, then click on each body part individually to turn them all off. I can sit with my legs crossed in the chair while reclined and in any other comfortable position I desire without feeling the stress of keeping the chair reclined. I also can comfortable 'half-way' recline, this is not a 100% or straight up chair as others have described. Again i am 5'10 240lbs, not a small dude.
I bought one to try out, used it to watch LOTR 1 and a few other movies and never once was uncomfortable over the course of a couple of weeks. I invited some friends over who all sat in the chair a few times for 30 minutes or so each and every single one loved it. One person was 5'4 240lbs and had no complaints. It is -slightly- smaller than a full size recliner, but mainly just in height, not sitting width. The headrest is extremely pillowy and comfortable. I had zero issues putting all 4 together, no quality issues either.
I now have 4 of these in a mancave/garage/theater room so they are not going to get daily use but so far have held up great. Again i am not running into my house and diving into the chair with my full weight, i am just using them to sit down and arrange myself in whatever position i desire while sipping adult beverages and watching movies. These are cheap price chairs, but under casual use i think they will last an extremely long time. I do not plan to use the rocking motion to stand on them and surf, nor do i plan to spin them around as fast as they can go.
If you are hard on furniture, want to throw yourself at a chair when you get off work, or use your chairs as a jungle gym, these may not be for you. If you want a budget friendly comfortable chair for average use, then this thing is an extreme hit. Send me any questions you have and I'll be happy to answer them.
