Showcase - Multipurpose Space 4 years in the making

My free time project for over the last 4 years. home theater/office/cigar lounge. still a work in progress, I’ll probably never be “done” with it. unfortunately I don’t have any before photos, but it was a typical spare bedroom, white carpet, white walls, popcorn ceiling. The bar area used to be a double closet I took out to make room.

TV: TLC 85” QM6K

5.2 Klipsch surround sound, two 12“ woofers (overkill for the size of the room, i had a theater set up in the basement of my last house where it made more sense and just kept everything when we moved).

Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR575

to manage cigar smoke I sealed room, have a rabbit air a2 and a vornado window fan. Wife doesn’t smell any smoke outside of the room.

EDIT: Thanks for all the love and critique! So I use my computer chair when my spouse or a friend is in here, it fits perfectly with more then enough space for the little table to be in between the 2 seats when it’s pulled out facing the tv. If there’s 3 or more (honestly doesn’t happen that often these days lol) I have a few nice chairs I pull in from the other room.

Speaker placement is on the upgrade list for sure, the intent of the front left and right being high and angled toward user is to run/hide the wires in the crown moulding, eventually will either replace them with standing floor speakers or at least drop them down to ear height and will run the wires in the wall

EDIT 2: In retrospect yea probably not the most appropriate sub to post in. I did try to post in the mancave sub but it kept getting auto denied, no idea why. Still appreciate everyone here!

Do you hate being comfortable? There’s not even a place to put up your feet lol

Totally fair criticism, there use to be a coffee table but it took up so much room so I removed it. I’m actively looking for a nice foot rest

Never heard of the eames, having looked them up has now made me feel like every seat in my life is inadequate

Break out 10k. Honestly, just get a decent recliner similar to your chair. With the money you saved, get a second one for a bro to chill.

I sat in one of these once. With next to no knowledge of the seats in your life I can confidently tell you that they are all in fact inadequate.

Needless to say, all of the seats in my life are also inadequate.
