Anyone had any experience with Flexsteel's Theater seating options?
I love my Flexsteel living room furniture, but haven't really ever seen anyone drop the coin on the theater stuff.

Up until I saw this, I never even realized that Flexsteel made theater seating. We've got a couple chairs that are Flexsteel, and absolutely love them. If I didn't already have seating, I'd give it a good hard look.
Bought a set of four theater chairs and two wedges around six years ago in the black microfibre. Can't really say if the fiber wears any better than any other company. I can say though the mechanisms have received a lot of use during that time and we haven't had one problem. Simply, from my experience, the quality is the same as their traditional furniture which is very good.
Yeah, my wife used to work for a higher-end furniture store that sold tons of flexsteel, so we ended up sinking $4k into a sofa (just a regular sofa, no reclining or anything) a rocker/recliner chair, and an ottoman. We went with the highest grade leather they had (of course in the color she wanted) and it's still pretty much perfect after 4 years of 3 cats, 2 people, and 2 years with an 85lb german shepherd (the dog doesn't get on the couch, but she loves to flail her paws around while she plays).
I personally haven't been sold on microfiber, so if I was going to get their theater seating it would be the same grain leather we have now upstairs. I'm not sure if they have the same leather selections between what we have and the theater seating, but I'd like to find out. I know some of the chairs and less expensive sofas come with only 1-2 colors of leather in one grain, so it might not be as customizable as our living room furniture was.
All I know is that the cushions and the sofa are lifetime guaranteed, so if anything goes wrong internally they fix it for free, unless they have to reupholster to fix it. If it gets reupholstered it's also free, but your warranty ends at that point.
If the cushions ever go bad (as in get flat) they replace them or restuff them for free. Can't go wrong there, but you get what you pay for.
