My HT. It is almost done. Maybe?! (1 Viewer)

[Shawn Keeler]

My Home Theatre is almost done. I am planning to build a riser for the second row (I just got the second row two weeks ago). I am also planning on doing a concession stand where the "Chasing Amy" poster is in the hallway. It has always been a work in progress, but isn't that what this hobby is all about?

Great job on the HT.

Can I move in with you?

...I'll be real quiet

 

[MikeWh]

Congratulations. Very nicely done, Shawn.

We've had some interest in concession stands around here lately.... I put mine on hold, when I decided to redesign the front of my HT, so I'm still looking for nice implementations. Please keep us posted on that!

 

[MikeWh]

Hey! I just noticed--- what'd you do with the front speakers?? I'm planning on doing curtains, very much like yours. If they're behind the curtains, what did you use for the curtains?

 

[DavidVT]

Very nice,

You should be very proud...love the color scheme as well!!!!

 

[Darren Mortensen]

Shawn,

VERYYyyyy NICE! I love the light monochromatic color tone to contrast with the black. A very sharp and professional appearance with clean lines. I really do think it looks great. Nice touch on the Coin Candy dispensers. The addition of a candy counter will be a bonus touch, as well. I see you have Rotel also, just got mine. Have you visited the Club Rotel over at www.htguide.com ? They would be envious of your elegant cinema!

 

[David Preston]

How much is admission? Looks very professional. In one word I would say outstanding.

 

[Ryan Witt]

Very nice!! What are the dimensions of your room?

 

[Shawn Keeler]

The Home Theatre dimensions are 15' 24'.

 

[Ryan Witt]

I ask, because I am looking at building a theater 13x19. I think the seats you have are the same model and configuration that I want to put in my theater.

In my configuration, the seats will be centered so that the left and right side have the same traffic space.

I wonder, do you think you would have enough room to get beside your chairs if you had one-foot less space between the side of the seats and the wall?

The traffic beside my seats will be low. Traffic will only be to and from the chairs themselves b/c the theater entrance is in front of the first row.

 

[Shawn Keeler]

Ryan,
Since your entrance is in the front, I don't think you will have an issue getting by. I have about 2.5' on either side to get by, and I have to pass by every time to get to the front row. I would say go for it! For the money, the Berkline Theatre seats are the best out there. I shopped for about six months before I ordered these. For the price of six Berklines, I would of only got 3 of the others I looked at. Also, as a side note, go with the micro fiber material. Extremely durable, and the soft feel of suede. Great stuff.

 

[Ryan Witt]

Is the micro fiber the same stuff they call "NuSuede"? I saw some with what the dealer called "NuSuede"...I liked it better than the Leather (esp. b/c of the cost!).

Thanks for the input.

 

[Shawn Keeler]

Ryan, I believe it is the same stuff. I liked the leather also, but the cost and the durability factor took me to the Micro Fiber. We have had a sofa and love-seat with micro fiber in our family room for about year and looks brand new. Even with my two year old daughter using it as a jungle gym. Are you looking at the same seats or a different brand?

[LaMarcus]

Very nice theater Shawn. I too am very curious to hear you answer to MikeWH's question about the curtians; because once my projector comes, I'll be looking to do the same thing.

 

[Ryan Witt]

They are Berkline's. I'm guessing it's the same fabric. The dealer must have just been calling it something else.

 

[Scott Tucker]

On the Berkline chairs the fabric is called Microfiber. Good stuff, however, leather will outlast most fabrics by about 4/1. You will get tired of leather before it wears out. I would recommend a leather that is pigmented for ease of cleaning. I too am probably gonna get the Berkline chairs in my theater.
Shawn, love the new theater! Enjoy.

[Randy Laporte]

WOW very nice, love the seats... I put in a riser in on my second row of seats, made a big difference, no view block at all. Won't let me post pics, so can't show you.

 

[Shawn Keeler]

Email me those pics of the riser. I would like to get some ideas.
