Palliser Pacifico : Bought them, here's my story

your kidding, right ? cource we want pics.

A relative of mine bought these a couple of weeks back and they are great. They look good, better than Berklines IMHO, the reclining motor is fast and the price was right. Also the leather was nice and soft, I think they use leather and vinyl combination. I'm going with these hopefully.

Folks -

I ordered 4 Palliser Pacifico love seats (8 seats - 4L and 4R) from theaterseatstore today.

Seats will be shipped within a week. Can't wait to see them inaction...

Hey all. Does anyone have some more feedback to give on these seats? I am about ready to pull the trigger on some and am hesitant because I unfortunately can not sit in them first.
I have been trying seats within a 100 mile radius of me. I have sat in other palliser and berklines and even some nice custom ones done by 4seating.com. I really liked the way the Berkline Tangiers felt as far as firm and lower back support and still supporting my head. I am 6 feet tall and 185 pounds. Also I have liked the firmness of the Palliser I have gotten to sit in. Unfortunately I only got to demo one of their lower backed theater seat and the sectional sofa pieces.
I am leaning towards these for a few reasons.
1. Build quality seems a little better than Berkline. No carboard in the arms and hardwoods vs plywood. Also steel reinforced corners on the frame.
2. Top Grain leather. Yes I know you can get that on Berkline as well for a comparable price. Just leading into reason 3.
3. I can get them NOW. I was looking hard at the Berkline 12003(Renos) I finally got to sit in one yesterday. However the only place that can get them to me now for that price is in Bonded leather and I am not trying to start a debate on leathers. But I do prefer Top Grain. That means about 1-2 month wait time. Also I was not as impressed with the built in tray tables as I thought I would be.

So If anyone has anymore input on these seats I would really appreciate it. I am going to start with 2 seats in a curved configuration. My room is pretty slim and it is going to be a multi part conversion to home theater/living room. Ultimately there will be a second row of 3 seats in a straight config behind it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am going to go ahead and place my order tomorrow. One small other question. Are the cupholders removable? I want to be able to buy a spare. I want to attatch a laptop swing arm in the middle one so it can be swung back and forth between the seats. These are our main living room seats as well. Then I would get a spare cupholders insert so I can remove it for movie night. Thanks again for the response I am 99% ready to order these now.

I placed my order today. I will update with a full report when I receive the seats. Thanks for the input.

Iam 5.11 / 260Lbs - I like everything about Pacifico till i saw that the seat width is 23 Inches (Compared against Berkline having 25 Inches). Do any of the pacifico owners think that would be an issue?

Ordered two of these in Brown; Excited but need to figure out a solution for the following issue.. (Decided to have Power as a Must).

"My Problem is - As i enter into the room, I have the seating (backside of the seating) in front of me. And since the room is wide for these two chairs - I will be ending up with a power cord running to the seats from the wall (any direction). Any suggestions as to how i can run the power under the carpet or any other concealed ideas for a power cable run?"

Theaterseatstore is no longer shipping Palliser to Canada.

Do you have a basement or crawl space under the chairs? If so, put in a floor outlet.

My friend who is 5"11 and 310 pounds fit in mine with no issues. He wears a 5xl shirt and found them quite comfortable.

Hey guys. I recently purchased these seats and I love them. I got them from www.theaterseatingchamp.com. I decided to get them from the reviews I saw here. FYI, these guys will still ship to Canada, or anywhere else for that matter.
