If you want your theater seats to last more than a year or two, don't buy. 5 of our chairs in our theater have completely come apart at the seams after 2 years of mild use. Guardian won't cover anything. 4Seating dodged calls and finally said they wouldn't do anything, not even a discount on new ones. Buying a extended warranty is useless, unless your house catches on fire. Taking the heavy, cumbersome chairs to a repair shop, is the only answer and it will cost more to rent a uhaul and repair than a new chair. Buy from a company that sells quality products, 4seating doesn't.
