Home theatre recliners - Sale time!!

That's cheap!!
Might have to look into these at a later date.

That's only a slight curve on them isn't it? I'm thinking about my raised floor area and whether the curve means it has to be deeper to accommodate.

Excellent. And is this pricing a one - off, or can I wait till next year, you reckon?

Hmmm, my comments may not be welcome but what the heck...........

They strike me as just like my earlier comments about home theatre set-ups....all quantity but little quality!

That is, the furniture is designed for its function and style, but the quality will be skin deep at best.

A few general comments about upholstered furniture;

The foundation of quality upholstery is the frame. Hardwood is best. These will probably be cheap chipboard.

Quality springing and cushion support systems cost and last.

Quality foams cost and last.

There is a heap of cheap imported leather on the market. A lot is from china. Often split leather or even imitation leather is used in some parts of lounges. Leather is grossly over-rated as an upholstery covering anyway!



Recently, I bought some new lounges. Had them locally made. Jarrah frames, top quality construction with premium suspension system and foams., (and warranties to match). Chose a Warwick velveteen fabric with rouching and cord detail. It cost $6500 for one 2.5 seater and one 3.5 seater. We could have spent less but we got what we wanted, and it will last.

If you want a home theatre set-up and the multi-seat units appeal to you, fine. Guess you get what you pay for. If you want quality units though, prepare to pay top $$$. I'd suggest looking at what Moran have to offer. They make good quality furniture. I have two action recliners from Moran in leather. They are 16 years old, and in good condition after lots of use.

Ash.

Frames made from imported hardwood

Dunlop enduro foam with 10m year warranty

10 year warranty on mechanisms....

Fabric will be a micro suede with a fabric protector on it.

This shape can be bought for as little $700 for a 3 seater in some shops (Furniture Galore) but are of a questionable quality. These are a good compromise at around $1200 each on sale. I think these are a good compromise to the Moran option at $4000 for a 3 seater.

I am sure the Moran is a good lounge suite, but most people would not part with $8000 for 6 seats! IMO

Heard the other day that Moran have undergone major management changes and are no longer what they use to be. Some of their stuff is made in China now.
