Recliner Angina

The dog barked, the neighbours spied through their curtains to the sound of a 400HP diesel prime mover arriving at my house; my new Home Theatre Recliners had arrived!

To say that I am ecstatic would be a massive understatement; the build quality and comfort of these recliners is second to none, I am so glad that I didn't scrimp on a few hundred dollars and go with some of the Chinese made offerings.

The photos really don't do them justice, these couches reek of quality and are one of the few remaining example of fine Australian craftmanship that is becoming increasingly rare in the face of cheap Chinese imports.

Check out some of the features that the Chinese junk can't compete with:
  • Kiln dried hardwood frame
  • Pre glued frame joints for extra strength
  • High quality plush "Comfortec" cushioning
  • Zig zag steel suspension instead of cheap webbing
  • Ergonomic design to suit all shapes & sizes
  • Top quality leather
  • The optional headrests are height and tilt adjustable... and worth every cent
  • The optional swivel tables add a lot of class.... much better than the cheap & tacky plastic cup holders that you find everywhere else
  • They're the only thing in my HT that my wife is happy that I spent the money on! .....now that is the biggest recommendation of all :)
Suffice to say, I have never been as happy with a furniture purchase as I have with these recliners.... if anyone's looking for me, I'll be sleeping in the Theatre Room from hereon in.

They are made in Brisbane by a company called Pegar Furniture. The model is the "Denver".

2008 UPDATE: Pegar Furniture has now been sold to the large Melbourne-based Integral Furniture.

Yes... I was forced to compromise because Miss Hennypenny wanted it to "still look like a loungeroom" :(

Anyway, the 2 seater can easily be slid over to form a second row in front of the main row. Hopefully, when she gets sick of me sitting in front of her and blocking her view, she'll allow me to install a riser underneath the back row. :)

Very, VERY nice! I wish I could proportion some of my HT funds into furniture. But I want a new projector, VP50, new AV amp, etc. etc.
Those orange crates will have to do for a bit longer

Unfortunately, that avenue is no longer available since the company was sold to Integral Furniture in Melbourne last year. :(
