Not Your Father’s Barcalounger!

After posting about modern cribs a few posts ago, it’s only fair to show a modern take on the iconic symbol of dads everywhere: the recliner

If you’re not really getting into your movies, despite the huge HDTV and 7.1 channel sound, you need the Armed Chair from Sybaris. Basically it’s an amusement park motion simulator in your living room that reacts to the plot of the movie your watching. And not just action titles. You know how easily you can be startled watching a good thriller? Yep, you guessed it: this chair can do that too, with effects “ranging from subtly detectable to extremely dynamic.” This baby is preprogrammed to move in response to almost 500 popular DVD movies. Of course, at a starting price of $12,000 (yes, you read that right) it’s probably more expensive than most home theater set-ups. Of course, Father’s Day is coming up, and I’m sure this chair would be the perfect setting for a late night feeding…

DO NOT BUY!!! I have a new unit that has started loosing parts, and the store that sold the unit as a lifetime warranty on the frame is now out of business. After locating the factory via internet, I was informed in the most uncaring way that it is now my problem, although the unit is less than a year old, it is in the opinion of the customer service manager,Vickey, that it is my problem…POOR…
On to the next blog to let all that I can know 1000.00 does not mean anything to Barcalounger!
