what a treat this is I have never in my life got to check off that bucket list
item of having a really sick dedicated home theater but if I were to check that
off I would probably have in that theater awesome huge plushy leather
seats that recline like this one this
is maybe not the right way to open this box but this is a Tuscany theater chair
from Valencia and today I'm going to try to
get it out of the box and show you guys what it's all about my hands are in the
cup holders well I guess this means I don't need to assemble very
much now you got to be careful that you don't cut into your chair the reason we
have this chair is because Jake ordered it to be used as a listening chair in a
listening station in the lounge for listening to really badass headphones I
don't know if anyone's ever going to sit there but they
should now for the embryonic sack oh look it we found an armrest that has an
air hydraulic so that is pretty nice and
deep for putting your tablet and your remotes and everything you might want to
have with you maybe your e-reader that goes this deep this is the back
rest and luckily for me assembly is
toolless so it should only take me a second to get this on you can see
there's a power plug here because the lumbar support and the headrest are
adjustable and powered this is the back
so here we have the power cable comes with some velcro to Cable manag it which
is nice it's this
long which is I think a decent amount I
wouldn't say it's generous but it's probably enough for most rooms now this
is a single seater on their website you have the option of buying a single chair
with two arms or to get a chair that only has one ARM that you would stack
into a row or you can get love seats and four seats and six seats alt together
the question is is when you get those other ones like three four five seats do
they have three four five plugs coming out of them my guess is not they
probably have one but what I'll say is if you buy two that are single seats
like this you're probably going to need two plugs I don't see any way to daisy
chain them so bear that in mind so I think step one is to attach power and
then after that I just need to slot
these mail ends into these female ends or maybe I'll just do that
first excuse me now now it's on there okay this has got a nice flap with a big
strip of velcro to close it but before I do that I need to connect the power so
is it possible to screw this up or not one is red the other is just black this
one's red two different prongs that are keyed then there's a lock on that and
then what's nice is if you have any excess cable you can just Loop it up and
tie it down in here so you only have the amount you need coming off of the couch
and into view but I think we're going to need all of it so let's close that up oh
it slides pretty easily enough the feet on the bottom are just plastic I hope
I'm not scratching the floor now if you get multiple they are friction fit now
of course mine doesn't have any locking mechanisms to go together like you know
a sectional couch might but that's because this one is meant to be a single
seater if you get the ones that are meant to lock together they will not
have an armrest on one of the sides and you just abut them in a row but it is a
friction pit now these are pretty heavy and on carpet I don't think they'll
slide very easily you see I'm of breath just trying to move it around um so I I
think the friction fit is probably fine but your mileage may vary okay we're
plugged in I'm ready to give you my comments on the feel making use of the
cup holder here do these come out oh yeah
okay easy to wash does this come
off yeah all
right take these out of here okay so
there's a fair amount of cushiness when you sit on it uh in terms of How firm it
is
it does feel like there's some uh resistance to the foam but it does
cushion and squish quite a bit this is Napa leather 11,000 whatever that means
Napa leather is known for being soft but there's no certification for it it is
just genuine leather this has two armrests oh and look it comes with
little feet to put on the feet so that they don't scratch your
floor that's nice and here's the instruction manual that I never used wow
they tell you not to use a knife to open the box even though the instructions are in the Box thanks for that so the color
we have here is actually color match to the chairs we already have in the lounge
the standard colors they offer are midnight black dark chocolate which
looks really nice and russet Brown which I don't really love um but as you can
see here you can customize your color they give you a Swatch you can choose
from a multitude of different colors and different color stitching so we have
this white all of the seat area and the
armrest on their website or advertises being that Napa leather now the other
areas of the couch I can't really tell but sometimes chairs do something called
leather match where the other parts of the chair uh will be some non-leather
material that perhaps is less durable and is cheaper and it keeps the cost
down this if they're doing that I can't really tell and that diamond
Stitch leather does really have a nice
theater luxurious kind of look the depth of this seat is 39 and
3/4 in which is pretty deep if I put my
back right against it my feet are dangling quite a bit off the ground
maybe 4 in off the ground I'm only 58 and 1 half though so your mileage may
vary um if I slouch a bit my feet can easily hit the ground uh the height of
the chair itself is uh 43 1/2 in I think
the seat back is a good height with some chairs it's a problem if the if this is
too tall cuz you could actually be blocking the sound from your surround
round or surround back speakers which you don't want but this seems pretty
reasonable some chairs you can get in different heights I don't believe you
can with these the reason you would do that is so that your second row of
theater seats are raised above you get that stadium seating without having to
build a riser which actually can be pretty tricky now the width of the chair is 37 12 in which is enough for a
smaller person or a mediumsized person like me if you're a thick boy I guess in
I think someone who's over 200 lb would fit in here but going larger and larger
your mileage May they do have love seat
options where there's no ARM here and it just goes wider into something for two
people similarly they do offer curved configurations but again you're buying
multiple seats kind of connected together the armrest this is definitely
a onep person kind of armrest if you stack these along in a row um you might
have to fight over this a little bit I mean two people could share this if they're intimate with one another but
you know that's the internal struggle of chairs sharing the armrest now of course
the width of the chair matters including the armrest with when you're designing
the layout of your home theater you know you need to have enough room at least on one side to access the seat but also you
have to think about the front and back am I so close to a wall that when I
recline I'm going to hit the wall this chair is designed to be able to be put
pretty close so Brandon why don't you step over here so if this is our
starting point totally not reclined imagine there's a wall behind me this is
how much more room it takes up when reclined you can see I'm sliding forward
mostly to a maximum depth of 69 nice and
a half Ines I might just stay here then there's
the powered headrest for that the the goal here is to lift the head enough
that I can still watch the TV comfortably who oh actually that is so
supportive and nice you could just go back and forth with this and it's like a
massage that is cool I don't feel like I need an extra pillow at all it might be
nice to have like a bolster on the side but yeah this is very comfortable oh
cool and of course I can independently adjust the recline while having the head
rest stay the same oh then there's a third setting for the lumbar support
that is aggressive lumbar support in its Max that's awesome actually cuz when I
don't have the lumbar support Advanced at all I feel kind of collapsed in this
chair at this particular angle but with it pressed a little bit now I feel way
more it's like the feeling of driving a Jeep when you're up high on the road I
feel like I can just really attentively consume content with this now another
thing to consider is how much noise does the chair make when it's reclining this
is not silent depending on how loud the movie is I don't know you might get
distracted I don't think people are really going to be adjusting their
chairs too much throughout the show but it is a noise the headrest is more
silent and then the lumbar one is also pretty quiet of course there's always
going to be some noise just from the friction of the leather against your body oh that's another thing this
leather does not appear to be too squeaky taking a look at the controls
here you've got a button for the foot rest up and down you've got lumbar in
and out and you've got the headrest up and down okay there's a US USB port not
USBC that is for charging your phone or whatever else you have over here then
there's this button this button if you hold it down will reset the chair so it
brings let's say you have the the foot up a bit you got some lumbar support
going and then your head restes up a bit if you want to reset the chair so it's
back to Baseline for the next person you hold this down it doesn't look like this
has one tap functionality for let's say saved profiles where I hit number one
and that it reclines the chair just to the degree that I like it and puts on the lumbar support that I need it's
pretty basic you have to do it manually every other time now if I tap the reset
button that's how I control the LEDs now
unfortunately uh there is only one LED color and it is a binary toggle on and
off uh without a gradient of dimmable levels and the cup holder light is
connected to the floor light now these
are all Frills but it would be nice if they were independent
if I can make them super dim because I'm really distracted by them but it'd be
nice to have some there could be situations where we want the floor lights but not this light if you're in
the middle of a movie you're looking for your drink hole and you hit that light
on you might not want the floor light on it just be nice to have more decoupling
of all these things but no chair is perfect and as you can see there's so
many different things to think about with a recliner like this that you kind
of just need to get as close to perfect as you can with the things that you care
about there's one more test I want to do which is the spill test using this 40 o
water bottle from o I already spilled on intentionally LTD store.com so let's say
you get a spill it looks like it
really beads up and looks easily wipable using your
stealth hoodie from LTT Store.com these things I'm still not positive what they
are I thought from the pictures that they were going to be buttons for LEDs and stuff but I think I have an idea
hold on no chair would be complete without the accessories you can get wine
glass holders tablet holders and of course carbon fiber tray tables as
accessories for theater chairs and they were nice enough to send us this trade
table and this box which I have no idea what this is and my suspicion is that
these accessories connect to the chair using these mysterious
mounts all right carbon fiber tray I
mean I don't know if it this needed to be carbon fiber
it can freely spin I mean that's kind of nice I wish I could change the angle of
this a bit it it is kind of on an incline I could roll a ball off it for
sure oh God yeah kind of basic almost looks like it has like a hatch in there
for batteries or something and then I don't know what these channels are for
either but that's it yeah it's good enough to put a plate on plate of naos
on or something I kind of wish it slid out so you can get it more centered on
you but it's not bad and what's in this box oh it's a tablet holder actually oh
sweet so you can adjust the width put your device in there cool pitcher and
pitch two games going not the greatest fit but it's a pretty discret accessory
so I don't mind that at all it's okay one thing that is nice about this
mounting system is that it doesn't occupy the cup holders there are some
designs where you lose that cup holder if you if you have the accessory so
that's cool that the complimentary this kind of already
scratched you see that that kind of sucks just cuz it's metal on metal one
thing I wonder is can my table fit in my my storage I do have to take this
off but that's cool there's no compartment to slide this in I guess
it's just going to be in there and what about this one
uh this is just excess oh I feel like
one of the people at the end of that movie uh Wall-E excuse me for a moment
as I devolve okay so this is a pretty bougie
chair I'm sure you can get more expensive ones I'm sure you can get cheaper ones from where I'm sitting this
is a pretty nice thing to have so is it the chair for you that depends on your
theater your budget and your doorway you need a doorway that is at least 24 1/2
in wide to get this chair in the room but that's smaller than a standard door
with so you should probably be okay so thanks for watching guys if you like
