Seatcraft Equinox Home Theater Seating Black Single Recliner

Got this chair for my 82 y/o Mother a year ago. She was having problems with her sciatica and has phlebitis in one leg. This chair was absolutely excellent. She was able to learn all the functions quickly. She loves the tray which allows her to do her hobbies (sewing/knitting) and use her computer. The blue lighting is wonderful and looks super neat too. Her sciatica has since healed and to this day the chair works perfectly. Craftmanship and quality are excellent. Assembly is a little tricky but not that bad. It took my Dad 1 hour to get it together. Only part I would pre-warn people about is this thing is HEAVY, One person can not move this beast and God love ya if you have to get it up steps like we did. My Dad actually had to create a pulley system so we could get it up the stairs and into their house. UGH! Other than that I would buy it again!

Update and upgrade to 5 stars. Within an hour of reporting chair malfunction the seller shipped a replacement chair. Angela from customer service called me, I didn't have to call them, and got the ball rolling on the replacement. 30 minutes after Angela called, Lynn, the customer service manager called to help out as well. Great customer service. The new chair works great, is good quality and most importantly is comfortable. If you have leg, hip, back or neck problems this chair is great. Nice to have your favorite sitting position set to the chairs memory, just push one button and you are good to go. ------- Nice, comfortable chair. Arrived in good condition but missing directions and 1 cup holder liner. Was able to put together pretty easily even without directions, only 2 marked wires to connect, chair back pops right in place. Was really liking the chair. Worked well for first 2 nights, then it stuck in open position. The headrest and lumbar still work but can't close the darn chair. Can't find any loose or disconnected wires. Kinda hard to climb out of when it's locked in full recline. Would have given it full stars before it died, now I'm going have to get it fixed or return it.

Buying online is a little risky, because you can't actually feel the material. This is my second online recliner, as I immediately returned the last one I bought. I decided to risk it one more time, and I'm not disappointed at all. However, from the pics, I was expecting buttery-soft leather, which it's not. It's a tough leather, like what you'd expect when looking at high-quality, real leather recliners. I'm probably a novice when it comes to knowing about leather, and all the different ways it can be finished, but I can tell that this leather is going to last a lifetime. Speaking of quality, this chair is rock-solid! I broke my last recliner, but I'm confident the Equinox will handle lots of abuse. One of the things that I thought could use a little design improvement, are the LED lights. - should have a separate switch to turn off the base light - should have a dimmer for the lights The base light is really bright! In my theater room, it would certainly be bright enough to throw off the colors on my projector screen. I've read posts about people adding a dimming cover, sold separately. I think that's a bandaid on the problem. I ended up cutting the zip ties holding the LED rope light on the bottom of the chair, flipping the rope to the other side of the bar it was on, then zip tyjng it in place. Made a huge difference, and it just took a couple minutes! Look through the pics to see how I did it, and the results. One other little gripe I have is the SoundShaker plug. It's set up to accept the proprietary plug from the matching amp, sold separately. It would've been nice if they added an open-ended plug to connect to an external amp. Intead, I'll have to it and replace the plug with a standard RCA plug, or bare POS/neg wires. Other than that, I'm really happy with this recliner! It's really comfortable, and I imagine the leather will soften over time. The price is actually less than many of the leather Lay-Z-Boy recliners I was looking at, and with way more bells and whistles. On top of all that, it's an absolutely beautiful chair! It looks so good in my living room, and makes everything else in the room look a little more classy! I'm definitely going with a row of these in the theater room, when I'm ready.

After having spent the last 6 months thoroughly enjoying this superb recliner I thought it was time to leave a quick review. I had just thrown away a cheaper leather recliner ($400) I bought from Amazon only 3 years previously because the leather became brittle and cracked in numerous spots. Now I wanted a top quality one that would last for years. A TON of research led me to this Seatcraft recliner and I am quite pleased that I purchased it. It is phenomenal! The leather is the finest I have seen on any piece of furniture, the recliner is UBER comfortable, and I believe THIS one will last a lifetime. I have a bad back and the lumbar support and adjustable headrest are a dream come true! I could not be happier with this purchase, I enjoy it ever single evening!

The chair was delivered with a tare on right arm. They ordered and shipped replacement arm but it didn’t match the leather of the rest of the chair. Then later noticed the panel on the left arm was coming off. I was then notified that they will be sending a replacement chair in a couple of weeks. Hopefully this one will work out.

To be honest, I bought this chair sight unseen. I relied completely on the reviews and I'm so glad I did! The seat is extremely solid and well made and the leather is very soft and is super comfy. Its great for watching TV/movies, or just to take a nap in. :) Love the swivel tray and the USB charging ports...and especially the power recline. The lights are cool, but you're probably not going to want them on when watching a movie in a very dark room...they are fairly bright and can distract you from the movie. When I'm ready to upgrade, I'm definitely going to pick up the loveseat version of this same chair.

Great chair but absolutely no owners manual. You have to figure the complicated controls out by trial and error. No warranty, no directions about how to get it repaired. For the kind of money this thing cost it should have some instructions !!!

I have now had the Recliner for 5 months. It's a very comfortable well made, top quality leather chair. The Power Features work well as do the lights. The storage in both armrests is quite ample. One thing that would be nice is if the leg motors would work separately from the back. I find myself having to to go through all the motions every time I want to get up to get a snack, go to the bathroom, or get up for any reason. (Might be a balance issue with doing this) Glad I bought the extended 5 year warranty for the motors! (Hopefully won't need it). I also paid the extra $19.99 to have the delivery inside my home. Very well worth it as the chair is quite heavy!
