Finally, it's time to review my new Flex HR theater chairs from Octane Seating. These are the "top grain" leather version, not bonded. There are a million things to discuss, but I've tried to cover the high level details. Hopefully it gives you a little more insight before buying a set.

▶ Here are a couple additional details not mentioned in the video:
_________________________
USB ports are extremely tight. Hopefully they loosen over time
-The AC cables are plenty long, which is very smart and helpful when routing your power
If not seated, the controls are hard to access. Seat cushion gets in the way.
Likewise, attached USB cables poke out / into the seat
Unboxing these recliners is work, and much easier to do with 2 people
This matte finish Leather requires regular cleaning, and shows mark/smudges easily.
The chairs CAN NOT be put down if you lose power. A backup battery is available as an accessory, haven't tried it.
The tray tables are for snacks and small stuff only. If you lean on them, they definitely will break under the pressure.
I have a few crooked seams and loose threads. Not the worst I've seen, but not ideal. Something to watch out for. This is a QC thing.
