Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep a look out in case they bring them back esp. now that they seem to be moving the patio sets out and bringing furniture back in

it works great for gaming, too. If your normal seating is at a long viewing distance, it's easy enough to put these right where you want them (thought not REALLY easy). Mine isn't used a whole lot in my new place, more game controller storage and such.

Spotted a few sitting on the floor at the Costco in Sterling VA. They had one on display and after looking and sitting my conclusion is it should be reserved for munchkins.

as an average size guy (5'10", 185lbs) I find it rather comfortable.

I am 5'10" 170lbs and find them comfortable. I picked up two of them last week, and sat in one for about 90 minutes with no issues. True, they would be better if they had headrests and motorized chaise recliner mechanisms, but then they would not be $160, would they? In my opinion, the title says it all "perfect front row overflow seating". When I have more guests over than I can fit in my primary seating area, these will come in handy. When I don't need the additional seats, presto - I have an extra couple of footstools.

Which Costco? I live in Dayton too and I'm thinking of heading to the Springdale one today to look for them.

Slightly different than the ones OP referenced but still great for overflow nonetheless, especially for HTs with a burgundy theme. I bought them for my kids' playroom. They are on clearance in Costco for $149.97 each. They are the cheaper Berklines that are made in China but I thought the leather had a very nice feel to it and was still comfy. Not sure what they were originally. If anyone knows I'd be curious. You know, to make sure I got a great bargain .

Found the regular price through googling. It was regular $289 but was on sale through the coupon book with an extra $50 off in July.

Ok all

I found them in a Costco in North Miami, Fl. I went ahead and bought 4 of them. I get my regular Berklins from Roman later this week. I will see if I want to use all 4 of these or just 2 and put two for sale.

I am more than 200lbs 5'8" and fit in them just fine. These thing are very nice.

Me too...

I contacted the manufacturer, and they said they had no plans to produce more of these, and that they had built them only for Costco.

Wow, funny this thread popped up when it did. Don't get your hopes up, I didn't find any of the ottomans, but we did settle on some overflow seating that should work out pretty well. We found some comfortable resin adirondack chairs at Menards for $16 a piece. They're low to the ground, stackable and have good lumbar support. They make a great front row if you don't have a riser (and we don't). They're no more of an obstruction than a guy sitting in front of you in a conventional theater, but fully reclining in the back row might be a problem.

Here's what looks to be the same chair:

We might even try to make some darker colored slip covers with a little padding, but to be honest, they really don't need it... I spent a couple hours in one while cleaning off the DVR last night. Worked like a champ (and I'm even fighting a bad back right now... just be sure to try them out, some of the non-ergonomic chairs are pretty bad). And at that price, I won't feel bad when we stack them up and send them to the basement for the other 362 days a year when we don't need 'em.

I've got some pictures at home. I'll try to post them tonight.

Sears sells something similar. I have not seen this but I've looked at the Costco ones.

Got two of the Sears chair/ottoman, my wife just called and mentioned that they were delivered.

I'll be putting them together this evening, and will give you my thoughts, and pictures later on.

Cool, I am on the fence with these. Any thoughts or pictures will be helpful.

Thx

Some observation about the Sears chairs; They came on a single carton box, they had no shipping damage or any signs that the boxes were missmanaged, however I think they should put them in a shipping box for extra protection. These come completely assembled. I thought they needed some assembly, but they don't, the only additional assembly is that they have extra longer feet if you so want them. I plan to leave them with no legs, they have small sliders as feet.

The leather like material is also acceptable and they are fully covered on all sides. Construction wise I would give them an 8 out of 10. The two seats open at a different angle for the backs, not a big deal but you would've expect for them to the same.

They are not very heavy and can be moved, but I would doubt that my wife would be moving these by herself and for sure kids can't move them by themselves.

They will be good for overflow seating but I would not recommend these as permanent seating.

They are low enough (with out legs) to be placed in front of a regular chair with out obstructing.

I already place them in the dedicated room, but had not used them yet. I'll come back once I had some time with these, but as for now they are good.

Could an adult use this chair?

I have black theater seats. These chairs LOOK black, but they are described as dark brown. Would they GO with black seating???

this chair is a very dark brown, but not black. It is a fairly wide and comfortable. I'm 5'6" 160lbs and they are pretty comfortable, I would say that maybe someone over 6' might have an issue with the seat being low not as far as space.

Some more pics and on these you can see the comparison to true black fabric.

In this first set the chairs are as ottomans under the screen.

excellent. Thanks for the pics and write up. They look like a leather-bound version of the exact same thing as the OP.

oh, and nice media room!

Yes, thanks so much for the pics. Nice theater!

You can easily see the brown vs. black difference. Rats.

I have all black chairs and was hoping this would work!!!

Superleo,

Could you estimate how wide the arm rests are?

Are you still happy with the seats?


I was thinking about getting a couple of these, using black vinyl dye to make them black, and adding a cup holder in each arm depending on the width...

Thanks,

DPN

Hi superleo,

Thanks so much for your photos & review of these chairs from Sears. This will help many folks in their search for addition theater chairs.

Just love the AVS Forum, so many helpful fellow members!
