- What a treat this is.
I've 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 gonna 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 gotta 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 room listening station
in the lounge for listening to really bad-ass headphones.
I don't know if anyone's ever gonna sit there,
but they should.
Now for the embryonic sac.
Oh, okay, 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 wanna have with you.
Maybe your e-reader.
That goes, this deep.
This is the backrest.
And luckily for me, assembly is tool-less.
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 in some Velcro cable magic, 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 all together.
The question is when you get those other ones,
like three or four or five seats,
do they have three, four or 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 gonna 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 male ends into these female ends.
Maybe I'll just do that first.
Excuse me, now, it's on there.
Okay, this has got a nice flap
with a big strip of Velcro to close it.
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 edged 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 gonna need all of it.
So let's close that up.
Now, 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
two to go together, like, you know,
a sectional couch mate,
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 arm rest on one of the sides.
And you just abut them in a row.
But it is a friction fit.
Now, these are pretty heavy and on carpet,
I don't think they'll slide very easily.
You see, I'm out of breath just trying to move it around.
So I think the friction fit is probably fine,
but your mileage may vary.
Okay, we're plugged in

All right, making use of the cup holder here.
Do these come out?
Oh yeah, okay.
Easy to wash.
Does this come off?
Yeah, all right.
Let's get these out of here.
Okay, So there's a fair amount of cushiness
when you sit on it.
In terms of how firm it is.
It does feel like there's some resistance to the form,
but it does cushion and squish quite a bit.
This is Nappa leather, 11,000.
Whatever that means.
Nappa Leather is known for being soft,
but there's no certification for it.
It is just genuine leather.
This has two armrests.
Oh, I look at, 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 in the instructions are in the box.
Thanks for that.
So the color we have here is actually color matched
to the chairs we already have in the lounge.
The standard colors, they offer our midnight black,
dark chocolate, which looks really nice,
and russet brown, which I don't really love.
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 arm rests on their website
or advertisers being that Nappa 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 will be
some non leather material that perhaps is less durable
and it's cheaper, and it keeps the costs 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 three quarter inches,
which is pretty deep.
If I put my back right against it,
my feet are dangling quite a bit off the ground.
Maybe four inches off the ground.
I'm only five, eight and a half though.
So your mileage may vary.
If I slouch a bit, my feet can easily hit the ground.
The height of the chair itself is a 43 and a half inches.
I think the seat back is a good height.
With some chairs, that's a problem if this is too tall,
'cause you could actually be blocking the sound
from your surround 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 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 and a half inches,
which is enough for a smaller person
or a medium-sized person like me.
If you're a thick boy, I guess,
I think someone who's over 200 pounds would fit in here,
but going larger and larger, your mileage may vary.
They do have love seat options where there's no arm here,
and it just goes wider and, 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 one person
kind of armrest.
If you've stacked these along in a row,
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 armrests width when you're designing
the layout of your home theater.
You need to have enough room at least on one side
to access the seat.
But also you have to think of what the front and back.
Am I so close to a wall that when I recline,
I'm gonna 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 him sliding forward mostly
to a maximum depth of 69, nice and a half inches.
I might just stay here.
Then there's the powered headrests.
For that, the goal here is to lift the head enough
that I can still watch the TV comfortably.
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 salt, like a bolster on the side,
but, yes, 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,
because when I don't have the lumbar support
advanced at all,
I feel 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 a pilot 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 gonna be adjusting
their chairs too much throughout the show,
but it is a noise.
The head rest is more silent.
And then the lumbar one is also pretty quiet.
Of course, there's always gonna be some noises
just from the friction of the leather against your body.
Oh, that's another thing.
This leather, it 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 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 foot up a bit,
you got some lumbar support going.
And then your head is up there.
If you wanna 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 tab 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 there is only one LED color
and it is a binary toggle on and off
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.
Hey, if you're in the middle of a movie
and you're looking for your drink hole
and you hit that light on,
you might not want the floor light on.
It'd just 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.
So there's one more test I wanna do,
which is the spill test,
using this 40 ounce water bottle from,
I already spilled that unintentionally, lttstore.com.
So let's say you get a spill.
It looks like it really beads up
and looks easily wipeable
using your stealth hoodie from lttstore.com.
These things I'm still not positive what they are.
I thought from the pictures
that they were gonna 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 wineglass holders, tablet holders,
and of course, carbon fiber tray tables
as accessories for your chairs.
And they were nice enough to send us this tray table
and this box, 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 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 is kind of on an incline.
I could roll a ball off it, for sure.
Oh God, yeah.
Kinda 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 it plate on
or put an AutoZone or something.
I kind of wish it slid out
so you can get it more centered on you,
but it's not bad.
Now 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, picture and picture, two games going.
Not the greatest fit,
but it's a pretty discreet accessory.
So I don't mind that at all, that'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 have the accessory.
So that's cool to hae the complimentary.
This kind of already scratched.
Do you see that?
That kind of sucks just because it's metal on metal.
The one thing I wonder is can my table fit in my storage?
I do have to take this off.
But, that's cool.
There's no compartment slide this in.
I guess it's just gonna be in there.
And what about this one?
This is just success.
Oh, I feel like one of the people
at the end of that movie, 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 has at least
24 and a half inches wide to get this chair in the room.
But that's smaller than a standard door width,
so you should probably be okay.
