Furniture, Seating, and Chairs...the neglected component
Having recently finished acquiring and assembling my HT components my attention has turned to the more aesthetic features of my HT. I would like to replace my typical couch, love seat, chair, coffee table, etc. with dedicated recliners and/or recliner sofas that have an art deco flair to them. Although my local La-Z-Boy (www.lazboy.com) has some interesting pieces (Zita, Marlo, Sedona) local furniture stores barely address the needs of the HT enthusiast. My concept was to purchase 6 recliners that would form two rows of three in a slight arc directly facing the big screen with the second row on a platform about 8 inches high. Or possibly a recliner sofa and a recliner chair in each row for watching chick flicks with the wife.
What pieces of furniture have some of you more experienced HT enthusiasts settled on and how have you arranged them? Photos? I would also like to hear about any other threads that may discuss this topic and/or web sites that could be of some assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Our home theater is also our family room so we went with the leather furniture (Pics in sig). I have one LZBoy sofa in the livingroom and it's a piece of crap. Started falling apart immediately.

i bought mine at a Big Lots for $60.
they didn't have red though, only black.
very comfortable, doesn't take up much space, inexpensive.
