Yeah, I'm building an HT as well. Unfortunately, no place near me where I can try the seats, so I'll be ordering 6 of them without trying them. One thing that I've noticed after looking at seating online on and off for the past 6 months or so... it seems that the online sellers constantly are on sale (but the [fill-in-the blank] occasion for the sale differs), and the sale prices are actually their "normal" prices.
Have you narrowed down your choice? HTMarketplace, perhaps? Seems quite popular.
By HTMarketplace, do you mean HTMarket? I was looking in 4Seating and Theaterseatstore. So far, I like Seatcraft (based on specs, since so can't sit on any of them). Another thing to think about that may affect cost is whether you want white glove delivery. I don't want to carry the chairs from my front door to the basement (a long ways away), so I'll probably get the service. One store chargers per seat, while another store charges by the order, which is cheaper.
Yes, HTMarket. I find a couple of models interesting. I've also looked briefly at Seatcraft and also RowOne, which appears to be a Michigan based company and perhaps at least in part locally made. Lots to consider...Regarding the issue of moving the chairs into the HT space, I wonder how heavy each piece is when disassembled? In other words, how heavy are the backs and the bases? I expect the bases to be heavier, but wonder if they would be light enough to enlist the help of a friend to move. Good opportunity to have friends over for reward drinks after the event!
