just bought two of these from my local morrisons store they are leather fronted on the parts you sit on ie: the seat,the backrest,the arms,and the footstool.it took me about an hour to assemble and they are really well made
all fixed with allen bolts and very sturdy..well happy

Yep, looks fantastic

Puts my home cinema to shame

is that in a spare bedroom? or your lounge?

and where are your wires for the speakers? sunken in to the walls?

no its a dedicated homecinema room built onto the side of my house, the speaker wires are inside some conduit that was placed in the build before plastering and decorating.The room measures 5.5 metres x 3.5 metres i have posted some pics of the build somewhere on the avforums website?

I saw the boxes at the Morrisons in Stamford today, looked so so

from the cover.
Your talents are wasted, Morrisons would sell many more of them with your photos

on the boxes!

Did you see the TV stands while you were there, just assembled mine tonight, details on another thread, well pleased

.

I agree they don't look good on the box but look great in real life (your pic's)

Nice looking room

i suppose that saying "never judge a book buy its cover" stands true in this instance.

They look nice!

Might have to pick one up in store for my PC Chair!

I got one of these last week. I had £150 that I was going to spend on a chair but when I saw this I just had to get. Then I spent the rest on a new remote control. So I was more than happy finding this bargin.

I don't think the seat/face is made of leather, it feels more like plastic to me. Though it's cumfy to sit on and cheep, so im not bothered.

Do they chairs move up and down on a gas lift system

05-09-2006, 11:34 AM

No they don't move up/down and there also quite low, the arm-rest is about level with my knee, about 20" off floor level and the seat is about 15" . They recline and swivle. The recliner mechanism can be locked in place with a twist knob, either upright, reclined or anywhere in between.

so you dont think that the seat faces are leather even though it says so on the outside of the box,mmmmmm trade descriptions spring to mind

the adjustable knob for the reclining mechanism is for adjusting the resistance
so if you are heavy then you need more friction on the sliding tube because if you are a fidgiter then every time you moved the chair would move position.

So thats what the twist knob is for

, I just used it to it lock it into a suitable position and made it really tight, it does me just fine.

As for the leather, well my parents have a leather sofa set and it feels nothing like theirs, Even the parts that are hard still feel really soft and supple. My chair on the other hand does not, it just feels like plastic. It could acctually be leather but it doesn't feel like it to me and for the price im not bothered. If I complained and took it back I'd be sat on the floor

. So whether it's really cheep leather or plastic I don't care, it's better than the floor.

dark_shadow · 07-09-2006, 8:23 PM

How do you guys rate these chairs, also could someone do me a favour please?

Just need the measurements of seat to floor and also arms to the floor, so I can ensure it fits under my desk

Thanks.

Legend. Thanks

Knyght_byte · 17-09-2006, 10:20 PM

any idea if they are capable of taking someone of a heavy build? might sound daft, but i weigh just over 21 stone atm, and use my chair every day for a good 5 hours usually.......i know these arnt exactly expensive, but its still £80..lol....any idea so far of how well they take a bit of abuse?

shahedz · 17-09-2006, 10:39 PM

wow. that is a bargain!! if i had some spare chas i would snap 2 of them up. they look great!

why dont you buy one.

take it home.

assemble it.

test it.

if it doesent work then take it back, morrisons are not gonna quibble over a

£80 chair, ok its a bit of hassle for you, but you end up with a good chair or yer money back,

if i was in your shoes i would do this....

Ian306 · 02-10-2006, 3:58 PM

Pronto, what type of Morrisons store did you buy the chairs from. I've been to 4 stores and none of them sell them. They looked at me as though I was crazy for even asking.

Ian.

just my local store at scarbourough,i havent got the telephone number but your local store will give it you then you can ring the scarborough branch and
ask them about the chairs

Ian306 · 03-10-2006, 3:51 PM

Thanks, I'll get onto them.

meansizzler · 06-10-2006, 5:01 PM

I bought one of these a few months ago, only one of its kind I could find

http://www.misco.co.uk/productinform...L%20CREAM.htm#

£135 was not bad at that time, considering the argos version "one in this post" was £180 and no stock anywhere...

Well the one I have, similar to this has the metal base pole pushed through a welded chair frame, where it swivels but i wouldn't recommend using the reclining feature on it, the welding might come away due to stress...

Some uber bumpage here but I'm in need of a chair, what are your thoughts on this chair? I can't seem to find a black version of it?

Are there any similar chairs out there?

Cheers
