Sorry I'm noob on this. I thought all need some power to be able to recline?

electric recliners are better because you can decide at what degree you wanna recline

from what I know, manual ones have only sitting and lying position

electric = 0-100, up to you to choose

manual = 0 or 100, no in betweens

 

but things may have changed, they may have manual that is able to do that, I donno

but if you take leather, you must make the committement to apply leather conditioner every 2 weeks

cheapest one is Maguire

if cannot make the committtment, buy fabric

pvc ones will sure crack after a few years, applying leather conditioner does nothing to pvc

Ok thanks, I'm aware of the leather conditioner requirement.

Fabric can be very dirty esp if it's those that can't change out one so just as troublesome IMO.

 

PVC not only can crack but it's warmer and sticks to the skin so a definite no-no.

 

Will check out on the electric v manual difference, thks n also thks to @superbored for the feedback as well!!

Yeah, it was P&R.  It was peeling badly everywhere.  I didn't bother going back since there are a gazillion reasons they can give for the peeling. 

I spoke to the boss before . . . if its KUKA, then it must be geniune & premium cowhide leather.....

and even the 'soft-type' was chosen, it should not peel off within 2 years at indoor condition!

you should have complaintg to them immediately!

I have a single seat manual recliner. There are four positions to choose, upright, 45degrees, ard 70degrees and complete flat. One pull from a handle on its side and it goes 45degrees. To go further down, push the hand rest. Have it for 10years liao and still working. No electricity required.

 

 

You might want to consider a motorcycle/car battery -> inverter -> electric recliner. Like that no need wires. Once battery drained, remove, charge it and put back.

It was a few years back.  On hindsight, maybe I should have gone down to complain.  In any case, I haven't bought anything from them ever since.  [laugh]

sigh . . . its too bad that my kids & wifey like the design #1323 which are something out-of-the traditional L-shape sofe.....and can be lounged on both sides (front & back)....... I find these modules unavailable from other companies.  really hope P&R gets better this time....

 

its sad that Lorenzo has dropped of their own designs nowadays, and go for profit distributorships..... thus, no more those unique designs.

 

cheers!

I bought an outdoor furniture set from OM for my garden .... subsequently, I also imported another similar set

I find that OM tends to 'overprice' on most of their items just by implanting that little tag on it.

 

Cellini...... their stuffs a bit like Novena's but slightly upmarket trends

HTL is good stuffs for most......

arghhhh! burnt $12k+ on a set of KUKA sofa from P&R.... just in time for 2016 and the coming CNY!

final decision to take the 7 seaters + lounger to cover the living room . . .  instead of #1323 x 03 sets

now gotta blend well with a nice carpet next . . .

 

the sales rep insisted that I must complete with the leather care treatments provided (purchased at another $220) on at least bi-monthly to quarterly basis on the KUKA leather.... then only warranty valids should there be issues accordingly

the so-called warranty is just BS or sales talk to me . . .

 

I realized that the current KUKA series are quite worth compared to the built-materials beside the premium leather ensured . . .

cheers

bro, not complaining lahhhh!

tot a more 'comprehensive' warranty after a 12k+ burnt . . .

but warranty only valid if leather is regularly 'moist' by another purchased package.... [grin]

getting lazy nowadays (old man liao)..... but cannot trust maid coz minimal or no water involved!

had a chat with Faisal (know him many years back) . . . sent a guy for a demo

claimed that its not adviced using those car leather care less heavily applied.....

else on the purchased package for soft leather only  . . . guess it will be my bi-monthly exercise liao!

 

wonder if there's any i-Robot can help on this [:p] ?
