Irwin Rocker cinema assembly

[JBL 4645]

The Irwin Rocker cinema seats have arrived!

I’ve been after some cinema seats for a few years now. Finally!

Wow its taken 20m minutes or so to carry these four boxes upstairs. My arms are feeling like jelly! But it feels good workout to bearing a sweat up.

I’m taking a shot maybe an hour break to let myself cool down before opening up the other boxes to find out what tools I’d need for the assembly.

[Take tissue to wipe sweat off face] SIGH I’m sweating like a pig, weeeeeeee.

The heaviest part was the sides for the seats that mounts the two parts back and seat and mounting plate to the floor are perfectly counterweighted that is they stand upright easily on there own.

I’m not sure if I can put these together on my own, I asked my dad if he as any tools like, (ratchet) as I’d imagine they’ll be (nuts and blots) to but together and I need my dad to at least hold the each seat while I put it together.

I’d have to make them all up and store them in bed room and living room, till I get the timber and MDF to make up the floor.

In the meantime I’ll see what’s inside to see if it’s manage it on my own, which I doubt.

I’ve been after some cinema seats for a few years now. Finally!

Okey Dokey, I think I’ve sussed out part of it I’ve asked the company if they have any picture instructions (via phone) also that I’m pleased with the delivery.

So there seems to be fixings attached to the seat parts that need to be locked in placed and secured. Also Sooty is taking curiosity, as he has to sniff and give it 5 paws approval.

Screw length is 2 ¾ which is about right for the flooring that I’ll put down.

Camera is eating up the flash power so I have to recharge every 5 or 8 shorts.

Wow this is going to take weeks to put together, but I'd like to install the flooring and seats in one day. Well that's not going to happen this week! Have to wait till next week.

Sooty has sniff
What’s this in my domain! Okay I’ll have centre row please!

[JBL 4645]

I’ve managed to get one seat together with spanner turning the nut at a few turns as I have to readjust the spanner for the next turn. Wow these seats are heavy two along will weigh heavier than two seat sofa.

I think it’s all going to work as I’ve centred the Irwin Rocker centre to the sofa which is middle of the centreline of the room so two more ether side of it no sweat.

I was thinking of pushing it to 9 seats but I have to leave some space between the each row (legroom) I’ll suss that that out as I go along.

I have a bit of timber laying around I’ll see if I can’t knock together a temporary base platform for the seat to be screwed into. The screw fixings are (Allen key screws) more than enough as there are 4 holes per plate each side of the seating.

I sat in gently as I couldn’t resist. The back is bit higher than the Rockers at the Empire Leicester Square by as much as 7 inches. Oh, yes, I like it. It’s been worth the wait.

Cup-holders as well! I’ll have to look around for some plastic drinking cups that fit snug into the hole.

Its slowly starting to come along now. Video projector needs a micro perforated screen walls need to be done on the left hand side of the room. Base platform for the front channels needs to be constructed. Some basic room treatment for the walls sigh, yeah its going to take a bit more longer but its starting to come together.
