I don't want 2 chairs though. I barely have room for one. I'd rather one good chair for half price.

Your globe is centered on Middle East. How about an EZ-Camel?

Power is all the rage these days and they’re cool. But you won’t be getting up very fast. They’re slow as hell. The motors have a shelf life and will break.

If it isn't one of those massage monstrosities I am going to save the "powered" recliners for when I get old and feeble with a crap back and shot knees. frick having to wait to get up....I ain't that damn lazy or broke down.

Go to Ashley's tomorrow or on Memorial day. If you can't find a chair to your liking, they don't make it & you can sit on the floor.

If it's well made and what I want, I'll spend a little more coin. Don't want to spend a fortune on shipping either.

Honestly, I like the action of a handle. You pull it, the feet go up and the back goes back. It's honest. Electric motors love to go out, are slow...my grandma has one. Not a fan. Makes me feel older than I am.

I picked up this Mercedes seat at the salvage yard for a couple of rims I had laying around. Brought it home and bolted it to some wood. It’s in my garage and the best seat I have.

My wife has her own budget for my recliner, a couch, 2 swivel chairs and a couple end tables.

This is the OT. Nobody is shoping at Ashley.

The handle is alright, but the button lever is better.

You can spend a fortune on furniture and still get garbage. But nothing cheap is worth a damn.

Every once in a while the OT’s latent trashiness comes out like crazy, and it’s wild

You fools with actual recliners and lazy boys in your house? If you’re over 25, grow the f up
