I am looking for a good couch and/or a chair for my gameroom. Those furniture will need to be confortable for watching movies.

Any proposition? Any brand? Any Model?

Looking to buy new or use.

Pfffffffffffffft

Couch and Chairs take up valuable pin space, use the money your going to spend on a couch and buy another pin

Damn straight.

I want to buy a couple of stools just like the one shown above, maybe with a black pad. Any idea where to get decent ones that arent a stupid price?

I think CDN Tire has them on blow out right now. I was there on the weekend and saw a stack of them.

Thanks Duane, I will check it out...

Online I see a garage stool $39.00  looks cheap, thin legs, only one ring.

I like the look on the pic Otto posted, it is more of a retro look and beefier.

Can't go cheap on stools when good $ spent on "A" list machines.

Maybe that's the one. I'm not sure. Just saw a pile of them and the price seemed good.

Duane is right, Cdn Tire have them on liquidation. I bought a pair last week for 15$ a piece: all black.
I figure at this price if I change my mind I won't be sad to relocate them in the work area.

the ones like on their website at 40$:

all black, one ring, black faux leather cushion. Good for up to 250 lbs.

I am currently building my gameroom so I was happy to find those. Not as good as real bar stools, but 10 times cheaper too. You get what you pay for; and I feel like this was a deal at the liquidation price.

So i need to use 2?????



I am working on the diet thing, but it will be YEARS before i can use one of those lol!!!!!

I use "swag stools"  in that I work in a music store, and sometimes companies send us stools we don't need and i put them in my home game room!

I have one of these and it works pretty good. but the seat is crappy... terrible foam.


I also have one of these, it has MUCH less cushion, but is actually better. I have one at home and one in my shop at work... been sitting my fat arse on it for the last 2 years... it is still holding up!


Would love to find one of the ones above!

But i digress, back to the original post,   all i can say is DON'T SKIMP ON THE COUCH!

UNless you are looking for a rat couch for drinking beer on and napping between games of pinball, you GOTTA spend some $$$ and get something tough and well made.

A good couch and chair is not that easy to find. I was hoping somebody could give me a good advice. The only brand I know is ELRAN, but are they that good? And for watching a movie you need a good couch/chair.

Love that Fender stool, Dave.

If you are ever considering, umm err passing a stool, let me know.  

whatever you do  don't buy couches with recliners on the end seats,  they tend to have a terrible feeling when you lie down across them.

Thanks for the advice.

Wouldnt' that be the whole point of buying a couch with end recliners...so you can lay on them...not across them?  Love my leather one. Mike

OY!!!!!!

YES!


THe ex and i bought a pricey Lazy-boy sofa with dual recliners and a drop down center section (for popcorn)  they are excellent recliners, though NOT cheap...  
BUT

Laying on the sofa, would DESTROY your back!!!  the times i didn't want to recline, just lay down and watch a movie, after 20 minutes i could barely get up... they are HORRIBLE to lay on!

we tried to sell it once we got the new house (new sectional sofa instead of the lay-z boy) and nobody wanted it, even for a hundred bucks.  it sat in the basement, but i did't like it in my hoe theater, since it was so uncomfortable.... ended up giving it away to family who needed a sofa for a kids play room.

NO recliner sofa NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Really?  We bought a sectional with 2 recliners 8 years ago, and it's great.  It's a bit of a pain in the a** to move, and I actually had to cut part of it in half to get it in my basement last time, but its served us well.  We actually converted it a while back as well to leave the center piece (one recliner) on its own, and put the other 2 sections (one recliner and a pullout bed) together to make one five seat wide mega-couch.  No problems stretching out on that thing   

The other one we bought for upstairs was actually from Ikea, and it's surprisingly comfortable.  You also buy the couch as a blank, and get a cover separate, so you can just wash the entire thing if you want.  Useful if you have people who tend to spill things on the furniture.
