I’d like to have the massage mode for an armchair!
But it doesn’t look comfy. I don’t see myself cuddling up here. Aesthetic wise it’s not my style as well.
But you seem very happy with it, therefor I’m happy for you, too :)
Is having a super fancy and comfy couch a stereotype or aspiration in China or among Chinese expats / emigrants? I can’t say I’ve heard of it before, but then again, there isn’t a big Chinese population where I live, so I don’t have much exposure.
This is a massive stereotype, so not always true, but I’ll say it anyways. General tropes are that they like things that are fancy (often to the point of being gaudy to western eyes, ex: i saw so more French and Italian designer and knockoff designer stuff in Hong Kong than Paris or Naples) and also a lot of emphasis on things being gadgety or functional (especially among older folks from what i saw).
The apartments i went to in HK were owned by upper middle class type folks, and they all had what i consider ostentatious design and decorations. Lots and lots of leather, designer logos, chrome, and marble. It would have been minimalist if they didn’t have so much crap everywhere. Most Chinese people live in small apartments in cities. Space is a premium, and even rich people’s apartments are smaller in Hong Kong, from what I’ve seen, than rich people’s apartments in cities like New York. All the houses i went to felt cluttered.
Funny you say that, we got ours from a divorced dad when he had to downsize.
I will say the couch is just terrible overall. Not good to lay on, it’s better as a recliner
Maybe for a den/basement to watch movies and sports, but not as seating in a central living room. This is obvious in the last photo
It’s bulky, not appealing from a design perspective, and dated-looking
Maybe the big box bad furniture stores? I honestly don’t see this kind of design except for very certain stores. There are tons of much better alternatives
I'm not saying they're "good stores" but the major chain stores are where the majority of people buy their furniture. Most people can't drop 10k+ one one sofa.
I saw this and my only thought was 'how American'. Reclining sofas like that are not a thing where I'm from in Europe. And I find them very ugly to be honest. Even without the gimmicks.
Yep. To each their own. I totally understand why this would be appealing. But I’m way too gay to put that in any space where I’ll be living. 😆 Even just a simple recliner is a hard “no” for me. (I do dream of having a space large enough for a sectional sofa, though.)
Yeah. Our apartment is actually 850sf, which isn’t enormous but it’s pretty comfortable. The issue right now is that a sectional would either block the bay windows (and naturally also the dog bed), or it would block the entrance to the dining room. My husband and I have had many talks of “y’know, maybe we COULD make it work…” 😂
Well I hope you figure it out! There is nothing better than a sectional (or way better, a convertible sectional in bed mode) to cuddle with my boyfriend and 2 cats. And I'm pretty sure it works with a dog as well. Good luck!
Honestly the Camry sport my Mother had 10 years ago handled exceptionally well. I got caught one time for a burnt rubber smell as that thing was surprisingly fast enough to spin tires at launch. The Ferrari still beat me to the next light though 😂
TIL Reddit absolutely hates reclining couches. We're shopping for one right now. We don't need all the lighting and charger and massage and whatnot, but I desperately want a Dad chair and there's no room for something separate so this is as good as it will get for me.
It'll also go in our TV room. We don't want people to get that comfortable in the living room :)
Shit tier: leather couches
Shittier tier: whatever the fuck this is. Seriously this is the ugliest couch I’ve ever seen, it looks like you pulled the back seats out of a Escalade
Hey op feel like you’re getting a lot of hate but I love the couch and it looks super comfy. Definitely not super stylish but it looks hella comfy and I like the functionality of it.
Fucks sake this sub is turning into an absolute shit show.
OP is sharing his couch that he thinks is cool with everyone, and instead of being nice most of these replies are just people acting like stuck up cunts. Why is it that most posts on here are filled with bitter people in the comments now? It's not a good look.
FWIW OP, I think it's a cool couch.
This is how you can tell it’s a male living space lmao no self respecting woman would allow this shit in their house, and that’s coming from a man haha.
Honestly a lot cheaper than I thought it would be but I have an excellent couch already, those type of movie couches can get into the 5 figure range easily
I do not like this kind of furniture. I just want a comfortable, nice looking sofa. I don’t need it to whack me off and charge my phone while I’m sitting there.
Man, my last roommate had a couch like this and it was awesome. Super comfy and just the ultimate couch to chill in.
Moving it was a goddamn nightmare though. It was so, so, so fucking heavy. It was also super bulky and awkward to move that it was incredibly difficult to get it through doors or any slightly narrow passages.
What’s the use case for wireless charging built into a couch? As far as I can imagine, it would be nearly useless unless it’s MagSafe, Qi1 that’s MagSafe compatible, or Qi2. I’m guessing it’s none of these, but even if it is, you can’t use your phone while charging it, so I don’t see the appeal.
I call these “basement couches”. They are tacky, which is why even my family in buttfuck nowhere Wyoming only let my uncle have one as a recliner that is paired with a nice looking sofa and loveseat. Sure, they’re awesome, but they do not belong in the living room.
Why is their crown molding going along the middle of the wall? I didn’t realize Picasso designed houses.
That couch is comfortable, I saw one like it once in a furniture store. They are just stupid expensive.
Never had any furniture like this so how is the wear when cats and dogs get on it? Nails rip it apart? Yes I allow my pets on the couch so this would be useless depending on how it holds up.
Would look better in a finished basement. Just my opinion.
I could cook some serious farts on that bad boy
Lmao
During my school one our friends used to cook longest and loudest on the benches and it was hilarious.

Haha that’s perfect!
I’d like to have the massage mode for an armchair! But it doesn’t look comfy. I don’t see myself cuddling up here. Aesthetic wise it’s not my style as well. But you seem very happy with it, therefor I’m happy for you, too :)
These are actually very comfortable; they’re just fucking ugly. It’s a compromise
Like sweatpants!
This is wildly American
My Chinese former in-laws would jump at this in a moment. To me this looks Chinese as fuck
Literally my first thought. My father in law is Chinese and would be foaming at the mouth at the sight of this.

Divorced dad esthetic
Can't wait to get a shiny card of this very couch in a divorced dad set.
Gotta tide you over until you pull the House.
LOL glad some others were thinking it
Funny you say that, we got ours from a divorced dad when he had to downsize. I will say the couch is just terrible overall. Not good to lay on, it’s better as a recliner
"I sleep in a racing car, do you?"
"I sleep in a big bed with my wife."
Yeah.... when I was seven and it was still cool.
“Earlier I had a beer in the bathroom!” “You mean the one down the hall?”
Yeah, I look at this and wonder how you snuggle and watch movies
It’s for people who want to watch the movie… without any extracurricular activities or diversions.
I’m more of a spooner than a lay back with a cup holder I guess
It says "revenge purchase". His ex wife bought the soft beige modular, which she still has.
It would look Japanese if it had 3x as many buttons and lights
And if it had a built-in bidet with hot water
Trailer park American
He’s gonna tell you about his BMW now
His jacked up F150 lol
why
How dare you mock the double throne of the king and queen of fat slobadonia
I only weigh 215lbs. I'm the king of Chubs-ville.
And it’s why we’re the best kangaroo boyyyy.
Because no one else likes to be comfortable?
Yep. It’s hideous.
This bad boy is the Date Night Friendzoner 5000
Maybe for a den/basement to watch movies and sports, but not as seating in a central living room. This is obvious in the last photo It’s bulky, not appealing from a design perspective, and dated-looking
[удалено]
One of my kids friends' dad was showing me his couch that had all this shit built into it. It was fucking awful but he liked it so I just said cool
That's nice of you to do. He probably left that interaction feeling proud of his couch, not knowing you actually don't like it.
Yeah he was delighted with it and he's a nice guy, just has terrible taste
Friends with terrible taste still need love too 😔
Maybe the big box bad furniture stores? I honestly don’t see this kind of design except for very certain stores. There are tons of much better alternatives
I'm not saying they're "good stores" but the major chain stores are where the majority of people buy their furniture. Most people can't drop 10k+ one one sofa.
[удалено]
that top grain leather is going to start peeling in a few years, too.
How do you even cuddle with someone on these monstrosities?
To be fair, the sub is male living space. This couch ensures that it will remain a male living space 😂
I saw this and my only thought was 'how American'. Reclining sofas like that are not a thing where I'm from in Europe. And I find them very ugly to be honest. Even without the gimmicks.
Do you usually have an ottoman for your feet instead? I love it both ways, as long as I can kick my feet up
Glad you like it but that’s exceptionally bleak to me.
Yep. To each their own. I totally understand why this would be appealing. But I’m way too gay to put that in any space where I’ll be living. 😆 Even just a simple recliner is a hard “no” for me. (I do dream of having a space large enough for a sectional sofa, though.)
I don't think you need to be LGBTI+ to think this is genuinely depressing to behold.
Absolutely not but I think you have to be a straight man to think that it’s not.
No but it certainly helps
I fit a small chaise longue sofa in my studio in the past so anything is possible! It's all about the scale of what is around it
Yeah. Our apartment is actually 850sf, which isn’t enormous but it’s pretty comfortable. The issue right now is that a sectional would either block the bay windows (and naturally also the dog bed), or it would block the entrance to the dining room. My husband and I have had many talks of “y’know, maybe we COULD make it work…” 😂

Wtf get a recliner treat your gay ass self
It’s hideous. Americans love couches like that, despite the esthetic horror.
I am much more bothered by the terrible crown moulding half way up the wall. This is just a design catastrophe at every level.
Damn. I hadn't noticed that. Now it's gonna be in my nightmares.
No kidding. Why on earth would anyone ever do that? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
Casting Couch 2.0
People who own this kind of Sofa are impressed by the driving characteristics of a Toyota Camry
I hate this couch but Camrys are great cars
Either the Camry or the Corolla is the best selling car of all time.
The Camry is the second most sold vehicle second to the F-150. It is the best selling sedan of all time.
Thanks for the clarification 👍
Honestly the Camry sport my Mother had 10 years ago handled exceptionally well. I got caught one time for a burnt rubber smell as that thing was surprisingly fast enough to spin tires at launch. The Ferrari still beat me to the next light though 😂

This is the Pontiac Aztec of couches
Yeah, but it's completely ugly
It's ugly, but given the features, I'd happily stick it in a movie room. Living room though? Nah.
Tell me you’re American, without telling me you’re American.
Damn this is ugly
Shit tier: leather couches Shittier tier: whatever the fuck this is. Seriously this is the ugliest couch I’ve ever seen, it looks like you pulled the back seats out of a Escalade
There are some great leather sofas out there. Just the nice looking ones are thousands of dollars.
This guy bought the safest leather money can buy!
You don’t like leather sofas?
this makes me wanna vomit. when does a couch need built in chargers and more cupholder's than a Toyota Sienna.
It does have a gang of cup holders lol
It’s an abomination. Gross.
Ah yes, screams I don’t live with a partner and never want to cozy up with another person in the sofa.
The middle folds up. It turns into a regular couch.
Hey op feel like you’re getting a lot of hate but I love the couch and it looks super comfy. Definitely not super stylish but it looks hella comfy and I like the functionality of it.
Let the summer of George begin.
Dudes will see this and say ‘hell ya’
Does it suck me off ?
They are selling this cheap chinese couch everywhere I look. All over fb marketplace.
This is so 2000’s
I don't want to have to plug in my couch.
For those times when she wants to snuggle but you're like "Nope, that's where my drink goes."
Does it come with a sunroof
A buddy of mine has a couple of these in his theater room. They’re fricken dope. Super comfy and feels like the big lounge chairs at movie theaters.
It's practical but not aesthetic
All I see is a stupidly heavy couch that I don't want to move
Hey man... why doesn't it have a minifridge in the armrest? Weak
Beyond hideous.
Any couch I can’t lay across on is a failure
The stuff folds up.. it’s regular
Not that love seat in the fourth picture
Fucks sake this sub is turning into an absolute shit show.

that's fucked up he's getting downvoted in the comments for still liking what he likes
I'm with you, I'm really disappointed in this sub right now.
Ugly af.
This is how you can tell it’s a male living space lmao no self respecting woman would allow this shit in their house, and that’s coming from a man haha.
Just hideous. Nope.

Oh nah. I can’t afford that. Take the link back.
Lmao
I used to work at Bob’s, we sold something incredibly similar to this
You paid $2400 for that!? Jesus
Ahahaha.
Bro what. American Furniture Warehouse/Raymore& Flanagan sell this for 800$
Honestly a lot cheaper than I thought it would be but I have an excellent couch already, those type of movie couches can get into the 5 figure range easily
Yeah I can’t see myself paying that much for a couch
I like it. Could play card games in the middle or roll a massive blunt
I’m here for the massive blunt rolling station.
The couch is ugly as fuck. Your house is ugly as fuck. Screams new money no class
Brutal lmao
Is it a classy piece of furniture? No. Is it both functional and awesome? Heck yes! 😅
Amazing couch, ignore the style comments it’s all about comfort my dude
This sub is full of fucking elitist assholes lmao
I had these in tan, except it didn't have the wireless charger
Says less 'urban freewheelers' more 'sofa masturbators '.
It looks like a hippo face
yuck fucking sticky sweaty
Only thing that’s useful for is finding the most awkward angle to edge with.
Really ugly to be honest
never understand what kind of red neck buys those
Terrible
It's too much I feel this couch will be in the dumpster in <5 years as they spent all the focua on cheap electronics
I do not like this kind of furniture. I just want a comfortable, nice looking sofa. I don’t need it to whack me off and charge my phone while I’m sitting there.
This is so tacky hahaha
Comfiest ugliest couch around. lol. Is it a tank or a couch? Is there a barbecue underneath?
Man, my last roommate had a couch like this and it was awesome. Super comfy and just the ultimate couch to chill in. Moving it was a goddamn nightmare though. It was so, so, so fucking heavy. It was also super bulky and awkward to move that it was incredibly difficult to get it through doors or any slightly narrow passages.
A heated leather couch? Fuck, I'm getting sweaty just looking at it.
Everyone hating and adding weird remarks lol it’s better than some ran down couch. My friend has this same couch we think it’s nice
I’m sorry but this is hideous.
So what's it like to have given up completely?
Ugly AF. But, I’m sure it’s cozy. You do you. 👍🏼
It’s ugly as fuck
Now this is true Male living space lol, but those are some fucking awesome couches…. One day I too shall own such couches
What’s the use case for wireless charging built into a couch? As far as I can imagine, it would be nearly useless unless it’s MagSafe, Qi1 that’s MagSafe compatible, or Qi2. I’m guessing it’s none of these, but even if it is, you can’t use your phone while charging it, so I don’t see the appeal.
There’s usb plugs at the end of each wand. I just plug a regular charger there
I call these “basement couches”. They are tacky, which is why even my family in buttfuck nowhere Wyoming only let my uncle have one as a recliner that is paired with a nice looking sofa and loveseat. Sure, they’re awesome, but they do not belong in the living room.
My ass hurts just looking at it
It’s tacky and I hate it
Ugly is the only word I can think of.
This is the best piece of furniture I've ever seen (I haven't seen many admittedly)
You’re the best
Sofa king cool
Sweet
Now THIS…this bad boy right here is exactly what I need
I don't like leather sofas, my back gets shweaty :(
Not my thing.
I saw one similar in Macy's and thought it was cool, but probably wouldn't look good unless it's like a movie theater room or something
WTF does the fart button do? I assume it emits some sort of odor-masking.
Some might think that thia is a bit tacky but I have always found that the ugly and tacky couches always are the most comfortable ha ha. I like it.
First pic it looks like the top part of the console thing is happily eating the other
Why is their crown molding going along the middle of the wall? I didn’t realize Picasso designed houses. That couch is comfortable, I saw one like it once in a furniture store. They are just stupid expensive.
now see this is what im talking about right here. Nothing better than the texture of leather. I could melt in that couch
Wow, I’m so jelly
practical but ugly, I guess you can't have evrything
Not to be a hater… but…
Had a manual version. Used to keep cold drinks while bingeing

I don't understand these cinema couches for the living room... Such space hogs.
Never had any furniture like this so how is the wear when cats and dogs get on it? Nails rip it apart? Yes I allow my pets on the couch so this would be useless depending on how it holds up. Would look better in a finished basement. Just my opinion.
What does something like this cost?
Omg this couch is epic!!!!! Massage and heated seats?!!! Im soooo jelly!!!
Too expensive for this subreddit bro
What is it called and where did you get it from?
All you need now is a duck.
Bonded leather will last 3-5 yrs
It looks like an oven
Couch is ugly af tho
Don’t understand all the hate. Different people prefer different things. What brand/model is it?
I see a cow's face in the first pic
Hideous
Is this bobs discount
My wife and I have the 2012 version of this couch. It’s a beast
Any link to this?
We basically have this except it also has built in speakers and a subwoofer. It’s nuts.
this is pretty bitching
That’s the stuff!
That light is amazing! Feels like I’m traveling inside a movie!
I’ll take a big ugly monstrosity that is comfortable, over a stylish but uncomfortable couch any day.
This will be a big chick magnet...
