- What are your shipping and delivery options?
- We offer curbside delivery and white glove delivery for all our furniture products.
- How does curbside delivery work?
- Curbside delivery orders take about 14 business days to be shipped from our warehouse to your local distribution center. Once the distribution center receives your order, they will call you within 2-3 business days to coordinate a day and time for delivery to your home.
Our customer service team can only refer to the tracking number on your shipping confirmation email if the order has shipped within the last 14 business days, as they can't expedite the process any faster. Because curbside delivery requires an 18-wheeler to deliver to your home, your order will be delivered to the end of the curb. You're responsible for moving your order into your home, assembly, and removal of any packaging material.
The delivery agent is not allowed to bring your order into your home or to climb any steps. Rural and heavily-urban addresses please take note of the closest curb to your home that is accessible by a semi-truck with a trailer. Garages are considered in-home delivery and are not included in curbside delivery.
Please note that we are unable to ship to locations where it is not safe to deliver via a semi-truck. This is due to our commitment to ensuring the safety of our drivers and the public. If you have any concerns about the safety of your delivery location, please contact us and we will do our best to find a suitable solution. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Thank you for choosing our retail site for your freight shipping needs.

- How does white glove delivery work?
- For customers who want more than curbside delivery, and for customers that want unboxing and assembly of their products, they can upgrade to white glove delivery at the time of their purchase. We likely cannot upgrade from curbside delivery to white glove delivery once your order has shipped. You may request this upgrade after your order has shipped, but please be aware that you are responsible for any shipment reroute fees, which can be a minimum of $100 or can be much higher depending on the freight carrier.
Just like curbside delivery, it will take about 14 business days for your order to be received by your local distribution center. Then the white glove delivery agent will receive it within 2 business days. Once the white glove delivery agent has possession of your order, they will call you within 2-3 business day to coordinate a date and time for delivery to your home.
Upon delivery to your home, the white glove delivery agent will bring your order into the room of your choice (and a maximum of either up or down one flight of stairs), unbox and assemble your items, and dispose of all the excess packaging.

- My tracking information has an estimated delivery date. Is this the date the order would arrive at my home?
- The estimated delivery date on your tracking information is the estimated date your order would arrive at the freight carrier's local distribution center, not at your home.
It takes about 14 business days for the order to be received by the local distribution center. Within 2-3 business days, you will receive a call from the freight delivery agent to schedule a specific delivery date to your home. White glove delivery typically takes 1-2 business days more. "

- I would like to add white glove delivery, but my order has already shipped. Is it possible to change the shipping on my order?
- We cannot upgrade your order from curbside delivery to white glove delivery once your order has already shipped.
You may request the upgrade to white glove delivery but please be aware that any shipment rerouting fees, which is a minimum of $100 but can be much higher depending on the freight carrier, will be the full responsibility of the customer. Any change in delivery method or carrier will also create longer lead times and delivery delays for the customer.

- Do the home theater seats connect to each other?
- Each theater seat is free-standing and can support itself without the need to connect to another chair. They simply slide next to each other to form a row. Each seat includes rubber foot pads that can be attached to the bottom of each seat to help them stay stationary on almost any type of flooring. These rubber feet also help protect your flooring.
- How heavy are the home theater seats and sofas? Can I move them by myself?
- Each theater seat weighs anywhere from 100 lbs to 200 lbs. Sofas, loveseats, and sectionals can be anywhere from 200 lbs to 400 lbs. It's highly recommended that you have at least 1-2 other people to help you move your new home theater seating into your home. With most seats, 2 capable adults should be sufficient to take them into your home. With sofas and loveseats, it may require 3-4 capable adults to transport the products into your home.
If you are unable to move the products yourself or with a friend, white glove delivery is highly recommended. Please request this service prior to placing your order.

- How much space do I need for backrow home theater seating?
- For standard products, you will need a minimum 28" opening for your doorway, hallway, or stairway. Backrow theater seating will need a maximum doorway opening of 36" for most larger products.
You will also have to lift and tilt the home theater seating through your doorway, stairway, or hallway. If your doorway leads into a tight hallway, measure your hallway has over 36" of width.

- I want more than one row of seats. Should I order a riser for the back row to ensure they can see over the front row?
- Our risers come in either 7" or 14" in height. We offer these risers in multiple carpet colors. We also have tiered seating with the risers built onto the base of the seats.
- Can I order a home theater sofa or loveseat configurations?
- Yes, most of our chairs can be configured into loveseat and sofa configurations. Please note that with armless chairs and certain loveseat configurations that the location of the recline switch will now be located between the seats.
Please note that in most cases the USB port will no longer be available due to the location of the switch. USB charging ports are only included in control panels that are located in armrests, not between seats.

- What is the difference between curved and straight rows on home theater seating?
- Straight rows are exactly that; seats arranged in a straight line. These seats consume less space than a curved row, but users on the ends of wider straight rows may suffer a bit of screen visibility. Curved rows are arranged in an arc or "c" shape. While users on the ends will have a better view, these rows take up more space than a straight row.
- How far away should my home theater seats and media lounge furniture be positioned from my screen?
- People often choose the biggest screen that they can fit into their homes, but if your room is smaller then you might want to go with a smaller screen size. A general guideline is to sit between 1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal screen measurement away from your screen, with about a 30-degree viewing angle from your seated position.
For example, if you have a 40" TV, you should be sitting somewhere between 5 and 8.3 feet from the screen. Just keep in mind that viewing distance recommendations are a general guide and it’s largely a matter of personal preference.

- Can the lighting on the cupholders and LED baselights be controlled separately?
- The lighting for the cupholders and baselighting are connected to the same power supply. Turning the switch on and off will turn both the cupholder lighting and the base lighting on and off at the same time.
- Do you offer your home theater seats as single recliners?
- Yes. Our most popular home theater seating styles are available as single recliners. They require a $199 shipping fee per seat and do not qualify for free shipping.
- What are Spacesaver home theater seats?
- Spacesaver means the theater seats are created with slightly thinner inside armrests to create a smaller footprint for the overall row size that is configured. You can now fit more seats in a smaller space, and the seats you have will make the space feel bigger.
- I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with a home theater seating item I purchased. What should I do?
- The majority of our products include a product manual with a guide for assembly. Additionally, we offer troubleshooting videos on our site. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to us via email or phone.
- Can I get out of my seat while it's in the recline position?
- We do not recommend getting out of the chair while it's reclined. Please make sure the seat is in a closed and upright position before getting out of the chair. This will avoid damage to the chair.
