Anthem Home Theater Seating Black Sofa with Fold Down Table

I'm writing this review from the couch, mainly because I dont spend time anywhere else in the house. Let's break this down into a few components. 1) The Leather. Buttery smooth, lovely against the skin and with no off odors upon unpacking. It feels thick, like it will hold up for a very long time. We purchased the brown color and the dye is even throughout and just beautiful. 2) The Cushions. We bought this couch without the ability to try it out in person, like many of you. We had no idea what to expect except that it "looks comfy." Dear friends, this couch is heavenly. The two end seats cup you in a cloud. And the center seat is extremely comfortable on the bottom but only slightly stiffer on the back in comparison to the side seats. 3) The Recliner. Coupled with the leather and the cushions, the recline feature is perfect for watching a movie or catching a cat nap. I will caution those that have asked: it does not recline flat. Rather, it reclines with a slight bend in the knee for comfort and back to about 35 degrees. It's far enough back that you can fall asleep but not so far that you would want to sleep there all night. To me, its perfect for being comfortable while still allowing me to watch TV. While I am on the subject of the recliner... 4) The Headrest. The adjustable headrest is very cool for tall people who sometimes have a hard time finding couches to support their necks. As a short girl my head doesnt hit at the optimal height for this, so adjusting the head rest without scooting my butt far up the seat just cranes my neck to a weird angle. However, my husband who is 6'2 loves it. It does work well if I'm fully reclined. 5) The Lights. O.m.g. the lights are the coolest night light in a dark room! It is a gentle glow and not harsh at all. I do wish I had different light options but that is not a complaint, the blue is still perfect. 6) The Tech. I was expecting an outlet and a USB plug in, but the wireless charging pad?! That was such a cool and unexpected treat! The reading lights on the headrest are also great and are adjustable, which I appreciate as an avid reader who also tries to be considerate if my hubby wants the room dark for movie watching. 7) The Transformer Table. I didnt know what to call it but it is just awesome. It is sturdy enough to hold a drink or a plate to share with your neighbor. I also use it to lay out my makeup in the morning (I told you it's the only place I spend time in my house!). The wood look is also a beautiful touch. I appreciate that you can flip it up for a full couch. And by the way... 8) The Full Couch. Unlike many couches of this style, this one is extremely comfy to lay across. You do not feel like you are laying across 3 different chairs. It feels like a normal couch. And lastly... 9) The Extras. I love the 2 trays this comes with! They are easy to pop in and out, and big enough to hold a dinner plate and a drink. They also have different attachments you can purchase online (wine holder, holla!) which also just pop in. So there it is, folks. You have 9 reasons to buy this couch!

This is the first time we have ever purchased this type of furniture from online without ever sitting on it. We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is! This replaced a piece we just purchased at the beginning of the year. The color goes great with everything in the space! All of the added features just add to the functionality of this sofa. I was a little worried about what we would receive with the price it was but it is definitely worth every penny. There is some assembly required but it was super easy and it is made very well. I have no worries of the frame breaking any time soon.

This Seatcraft Anthem home theater seating setup has honestly been one of my favorite furniture purchases I’ve ever made. From the moment it was assembled, it immediately felt like a major upgrade in both comfort and appearance compared to standard couches or recliners. The Italian leather feels soft and premium, and the power reclining feature works smoothly and makes it extremely comfortable for long movie sessions, gaming, or just relaxing after work. The overall design also looks high-end and gives the room a true home theater feel rather than just looking like ordinary seating. One of the standout features for me is all of the built-in convenience features. The drink holders, charging ports, and storage compartments inside the armrests are incredibly useful in daily use and make everything feel modern and well thought out. I especially like having chargers easily accessible without needing extra cables running across the room. The seating itself is very comfortable and supportive, and it has become the main place everyone wants to sit when visiting. It genuinely feels designed around comfort and convenience rather than just appearance. Overall, this is easily the best couch I have personally owned. It combines comfort, functionality, and aesthetics extremely well, and in my opinion it completely delivers the premium home theater experience it advertises.

This is a supremely comfortable, quality piece of furniture. It currently resides in the front row of our 10-seat theater. We used to have a pair of recliners for my wife and I, but this has fit our retired lifestyle much better. Not only is it a fine place to enjoy a movie, but also allows the wife to fall fast asleep when the movie is not her cup of tea! When she starts to doze, she flips the console to the couch mode an curls up to me until I'm done watching! Of particular interest tp movie watchers, this set has the power adjustable headrest, making neck strain a thing of the past. We had one minor difficulty since 2024 - my tray table somehow got stuck in the accessory mounting. Richard at Customer Service was quick to send replacements so that we may continue to enjoy the piece while maintaining its full function and stylish looks. Thank you sincerely, Richard! When we sell the mansion, the other leather theater seats will stay with the home.... this one is going with us!

First, the bad: The installation will require multiple people unless you're very strong. The chairs are heavy, but the sturdiness feels like it will last. The motorized mechanisms have had no problem under heavy and consistent use for 6 years, though the cushions have worn a little thin. Luckily, they're accessible from underneath, so bolstering with new fill or replacement is not too difficult. The leather is a little squeaky, but a bit of baby powder makes the operation silent. The wireless charging pad is not very usable with modern phones... the cushioning prevents the larger form-factors from aligning, but there's plenty of USB ports to use for charging. The good: These seats are why my guests keep coming back to my media room. The adjustability and comfort are very good, and they're a beautiful seat. The hinge on my middle section and one of the gas-shocks for the arm lift broke within the first 6 months. I never bothered doing anything about it, but this past weekend, it really bugged me. I finally contacted customer service through Amazon. Richard got back to me promptly the next morning and asked me to call. When I called him, he knew who I was and sent me the minor repair parts at no charge... this is 7 years after purchase. I've worked in customer service for almost 30 years, and you don't get service like that just anywhere. The company stands behind their product, the service agent resolved my issue with zero hassle, and they're still my favorite seats in the house. I'd recommend buying from Seatcraft without hesitation!

This is an impressive service-oriented company that does everything within its power to ensure you are more than just satisfied with your purchase! I received one-on-one attention from Richard from the moment the item left the store and up to and beyond receipt of the furniture. We love everything about our new theater seats! The chairs are very comfortable, especially with the moving headrest. And what a solid piece of furniture weighing in at 355 lbs.? You will definitely need two strong people to move it into your home. But once we got it in, it was very easy to assemble. The three chairs have excellent storage space in the armrests. And for all the ways you can move the foot and headrest, it's quite quiet when operating. We are more than just pleased with our purchase! If I had to name one con, though, against all those pros, it would be that we didn't look at the Seatcraft site before buying. The only reason I say that is because my husband has a bad back and would have gotten the set with lumbar support. But that's our bad, not the company's. I can not recommend this company enough! The chairs are beautiful and comfortable, the customer service is outstanding, and we definitely got our money's worth on this purchase. If you're considering buying new furniture, Seatcraft is the way to go. You will not be disappointed!

I have had this couch and two matching recliners for 2 years. Hands down amazing. Everyone who comes over loves my couch and recliners. Everything has been holding up. No tears, wierd stretching or anything. I have 2 teens and a 12 yr old rambunctious son who tackles our 2 english bull dogs on these and they are going strong. I did run into the issue of where the trays were connected and left unattended and my larger english bulldog (65 pounds) stood on one side and the tray became stuck. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SEPERATE IT! My husband and his best friend used some wierd reverse pliers to separate them and it shot up in the air violently. However I did reach out because they had only been in use for about 3 months by that point. Their guy who handles customer service reached right out and asked for pictures and my number to talk over the phone because of the odd issue. He was amazing. Not only did he ship me 2 new tray with parts explained step by step on how to fix but had them the parts here within the week. I highly recommend.

There is NOTHING that I don’t like about these sofa theater seats. My husband and I bought one, three seater, and two, two seaters for a total of seven seats. I am loving these theater seats, we are in them a lot- I love the color, we bought black which fits perfectly in our loft with a 75” TV screen. I love the buttons to lay them all the way back, and the lighting underneath them, the reading lights on the center part to read or whatever you need it for, it has an iphone charger, and an outlet to plug up anything else, the cup holders and a small space to put smaller things, (all this is inside the center seat when you lower the headrest……too cool! There are also nice trays that comes with it stored in each of the hand rests- and they swivel so you can put your bowl of popcorn, plate of food, do some check balancing, etc on it. Oh, did I mention that they are very comfortable to boot and looks easy to clean if you spill something which no one has done; we plan to keep these theater seats in good condition- they deserve it for being so good looking and awesome!!
