I have one and love it. I have a bad back and need good lumbar support. This chair is perfect on my back. Had it for over a year with no problems. 2 things I would change though: recline further back for napping would be nice. And a one touch full recline and return to upright would be great instead of having to hold the button the whole time. Other than that I love mine. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this. I had the same problem with power and your review help me uncover the power underneath the chair. Solid chair and good price. Again thanks for the video instructions. You rock!!
Great video! Thank you for mentioning the power issue out of the box. I appreciate the honest review that includes the good and not-so good (arm rest).
Been looking at recliners for about a month now, checking reviews and such. This recliner was on my list as a good possibility. I'm glad I found your video it made up my mind. I already had the recliner in my cart saw your video and went ahead and ordered it. Sams needs to send you a commission. Thanks man
Your a great daddy for making the babeh giggle 😃 kudos to you 👏 🙌 thank you for this video aswell I might just get one of these to replace a cheap power recliner with sticky buttons and cheap peeling material I picked up at the local thrift shop
Thanks for the video man! I have looked at this chair several times. I am retired and disabled and just looking for somethign that i may even just sleep in when im sick lol. One thing i have been puzzled about when looking at chairs. Even when you get into higher priced chairs. You can get arm storage OR heat/massage but never both.
Thanks for this. Most of the theater seats at this price seemed to be complete garbage but when I saw it was a Serta brand I thought this might be a good option... assuming it wasn't just a different crappy one branded as Serta. I couldn't find any videos, like you mentioned, so this was helpful.
I've been looking at dual power reclining loveseats. Couldnt find something supportive or in my taste for less than $1,500. I ordered one of these after seeing it at sams by me. It wasn't plugged in so I took a gamble. Waiting n the gray one to arrive. 2 chairs for under $1000 isn't a bad deal.
I like the size and look of these but how is the Bonded Leather fabric holding up. I read some reviews saying it was peeling after a 11 to 14 months. Like paper thin bits coming off.
@@matthew9826 ; Thanks Matthew for reply, I may try this Chair since I like the chair height and size, which is not readily availble in other Brand models. I have bar stools with Bonded Leather and they lasted 4 yrs before they peeled. It's a price trade off on one hand, but I'd pay more if they had this chair in Faux Leather that reviews say it lasts a few yrs longer.
Can someone with this chair measure the minimum distance to a wall needed from full upright to full recline? Also, how far does the footrest come out in full recline, measured from the front of the armrest section? Thanks!
i have this chair in my room and i need to say that what i hate of it is when youre trying to sleep or take a nap the wood frame hits my lower back making it unconfortable for me to take a nap or even sleep, you dont have same issue?
Honestly, I've never tried taking a nap in these but maybe once and I didn't have a bad experience except for the fact that it doesn't lean back far enough.
Can't seem to find this answer anywhere, maybe you can advise. I am wondering how far from the wall these must be in order to fully recline. Wanting something that can be close to the wall. Thanks!
Funny you ask that I was actually going to make a one-year follow-up video sometime soon. To make a long story short they've held up very well except for the armrest on the one I use, the screws keep coming loose. also I've had three chairs randomly lose power due to the power supply unplugging under the chair but it's a easy fix. I can see people not knowing what to do and returning them saying they failed when in reality it was just a plug that came loose.
So glad I found your video! I was thinking of purchasing this recliner for work purposes. I’m in the beauty industry, I’m wondering how far back it reclines if someone is laying in it and you’re seated behind them? Does their head level to your chest?
I'm not home at the moment but if I were to guess that if I was sitting behind the chair with it fully reclined, a head would be a little higher on my chest. When I get time tomorrow, I'll see what I can find out for you.
Are both cup holders supposed to light up? When it was assembled the right one was the only one lighting up. When we took out the holders to check the wiring and such, all of sudden the left one lit up but not the right so it switched. And we still can't get both lit up.
Are there separate controls for the footrest and back? Can you sit upright with your feet up? Or does it automatically recline when the footrest goes up?
The back rest comes disassembled, but it's really simple to install. The back rest slides into these 2 brackets on the lower portion, and you gotta plug in a wire that's about it.
Matt, great info. Thanks for sharing. By any chance, do you have pics of the boxes that these came in? I’m trying to figure out if they (boxed or unboxed) would fit thru a 29.5” basement doorway before buying em. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
@Matt - Thanks again for the response. I tried Sam's website, their customer service, as well as some other vendor info that I found thru the comments section but ended up getting several different mixed numbers with regards to the dimensions. Is there anyway that you can do a quick measurement of the actual height of the recliner (without the back rest part) to get an accurate number and let me know? I got 19" from one person and 33" (both without back rest) from another person. Very misleading. Anyhow, I'm trying to see if it would go thru a 29.5" doorway (turned sideways of course)....much thanks!
So far they are holding up great even with the 40 pound dog constantly jumping on them. No tears so far maybe a few scratches from the dog but nothing bad. My only complaint is the armrest could have been designed better, they definitely went cheap on the hinge. Overall we are happy with them. Also very easy to clean not to many hiding spots, snacks and crumbs just fall on the floor if they drop between the cushion and armrest. Just lean forward and vacuum underneath.
@@matthew9826 Very nice… they are $450 right now may wait to see if they go on sale as i need 4. But beats paying $1k plus per seat either way. Thnx for the reply.
Is there a video showing how to assemble one of these? I want one for my dad but he doesn’t want to have to spend a lot of time assembling it. Has never had a power recliner before.
Sorry for the late reply but I tried measuring it. I don't really have a good wall to measure from but going by eye it looks like it's between 6 and 5 in
@@barrysuss4421 no problem sorry I was vague I was at a fair with very little Internet lol. But yes it comes in two pieces the backrest lays flat on top of the chair inside the box. It's really easy to install it slides into a track and there's one plug you got to plug in.
They have been great. I will say I have had to super glue in the power cord to the power supply located under the chair. It kept randomly unplugging and one of the chairs light button stopped working but that's about it. No tearing or broken parts except for that button no longer working. Probably an easy fix though.
@@carolynjohnson7741 thanks! they still work great. If you end up getting them, make sure you watch my follow up video. It'll help you prevent a no power issue.
I don't normally comment on videos, thought I would on this your video is what caused me to get it... I feel like sams club should give you a portion of what I paid lol If I hold down the light button it doesn't do anything. Is something maybe unplugged?
@@matthew9826 yep, I went ahead and unplugged the cable and replugged in and it seems to work now. Is the creaking noise normal? I imagine it goes away in time and its just the wood stretching out after being in a box for so long.
@@Schiehsl3 yeah not quite sure what that's about. I have five of these and not one of them makes that noise. Id double check and see if you have the backrest fully aligned if it's not all the way clicked in that may cause your noise
Good review. Yeah, if you got em for $400 each then it cost maybe $100 - $150 to make and then you paid really for Sam's profits. I'd say freight too, but Sam's probably get freight discounts. The really expensive ones manufacture for about $400 each. Then greedy corporate sellers yank em up to $1,200 and up.
If only people like you would start a non-profit to manufacture home theater seats and sell them at cost... we wouldn't have to deal with those "greedy corporate sellers", lol.

For the chair to fully recline, you need to allow at least 6 in at the top of the chair. Overall it's a foot from the wall from the base
@@matthew9826 Thank you! This saved me a lot of hassle!
Hey can you give an update on the recliners? Holding up well? Thinking about getting a few but saw some bad reviews of them after a year of use.

Do the seats power cables daisy chain or do you need a power stip? Thanks for the video!
You'll need a power strip. Keep in mind the cords that come with the chairs are only 3ft long.

With it fully reclined, the top of the headrest is 33" from the floor. I hope this helps.

Yes, it sounds like you got a wiring problem. they're both supposed to light up when you hit the button.
Are there separate controls for the footrest and back? Can you sit upright with your feet up? Or does it automatically recline when the footrest goes up?
Unfortunately it only reclines if the footrest is all the way out
Thanks for the review on these. Do these recliners come in parts and need to be assembled? Looking to get two soon for basement area.....

The backrest snaps in place, and you plug in one wire. It took maybe 2 minutes to put together it's very easy.
How much clearance would they need behind the chair to fully recline? Mine would go in front of a wall.
Last time i checked i believe it was 6".
If i remember I'll check it out when i get back home.
Sorry for the late reply but I tried measuring it. I don't really have a good wall to measure from but going by eye it looks like it's between 6 and 5 in
How many pieces does one chair come in? How many boxes for one chair? Or is it fully assembled?
Two pieces one box.

Hi could you tell me what the power cord for this looks like? I lost mine
3 prong IEC cable, its used in most desktop computers especially the older ones and plugs into the power supply in the computer tower.
@@matthew9826 thank you!!
Can't find any information on the seat weight capacity for these...
I'm pretty sure it's around 300
How do the chairs hold up a year later?
They have been great. I will say I have had to super glue in the power cord to the power supply located under the chair. It kept randomly unplugging and one of the chairs light button stopped working but that's about it. No tearing or broken parts except for that button no longer working. Probably an easy fix though.
Where did you buy the table that is between the chairs?
Amazon. I think it's called a wedge table.
