Buyer's guides

Short, measurement-first guides to the decisions that happen before you order. Each one feeds the finder or the catalog.

• Will theater seating fit through your doorway?
  A measurement checklist for getting home theater seating into the room — doors, halls, stairs, and turns — and the questions to ask the seller before ordering.
• Home theater seating for narrow rooms
  How to find the usable width in a small theater or media room, and which arrangement styles — loveseat bases, sofas, armless rows — reclaim the most of it.
• Seatcraft vs. Valencia: comparing equivalent configurations
  A spec-sheet comparison of Seatcraft and Valencia three-seat rows — published dimensions, clearance, pricing, and what each brand's spec pages leave unanswered.
• Three home theater seats under 100 inches wide
  Every three-seat configuration in our catalog with a published width under 100 inches, and what each one still leaves unverified.
• Wall-hugger theater seating: compare actual clearance requirements
  Which manufacturers publish a real wall-clearance number for fully reclined seats, what those numbers say, and where you're left asking the seller.
• White-glove vs. curbside delivery: what to confirm before ordering
  Questions to confirm carry-in, assembly, delivery fees, damage reporting and return terms before ordering.
