Anyone buy anything from shop4seats? good? bad?
« on: October 27, 2015, 03:52:33 PM »
A friend sent me a link to these guys, anyone know if the seats are good quality? or is there a better place for driver / passenger seating?

Im guessing the integral seatbelt models are for swivel bases?

I like Flexsteel but they are out of my price range > http://www.flexsteel.com/for-recreation/motor-home/bucket-seats

my favorite being this one > http://www.flexsteel.com/product/scopan-267-busr

I guess there is also some euro salvage yard options..

That outfit goes by several different names like discount van for one, their furniture is ok about the same as Flexsteel lower end furniture the problem is his delivery time sucks.

I am not a big fan of Flexsteel my ultra leather is starting to peel off and the electric foot rest gives me problems.For the money difference I would go with the above for top of the line go with Villa  JMO 

I have a NOS Flexsteel 100% leather drivers seat with built seat belt and power base in gray I'll sell for 500 bucks + shipping

       I was looking at different seating systems for a writing table/mini-office-nook for my bus and I downloaded S4S's catalog.  I has some email correspondence with their customer service people and was favorably impressed.  Unfortunately, I became slightly "financially embarrassed" before I could actually place an order so the whole idea sorta withered away.  Dunno if that helps much ...

Found this > https://www.trustpilot.com/review/shop4seats.com

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/4seating.com

The company is actually:

EuroTec Seating
http://4seating.com/
1000 S Euclid St, La Habra, CA 90631
4seating.com
(800) 407-8665

I think that dicountvantruck.com is an unrelated company

We got the passenger seat and the couch from them. I think they are very good. The passenger seat has a power foot rest, the couch came in 5 pieces and was therefore easy to get it the bus and then was easy to put together it also has heat and vibration functions and my wife loves it.  It was shipped one day after they said it would be shipped and it was shipped to my door. They did good buy us.

Why not buy some used Escalade seats and make pedestals? 8way power, adjustable lumbar, and heated AND cooled. Glove soft leather.

the front seats in my 102 were made by Mastercraft, but nor the boat company. they probably were pricey but are nice. they only do on order i believe. they have the seat belts built in. works for me. you pick what you want and they make it. web site innovationandvalue.com i believe.

I bought a co-pilot seat from them about a year ago. Delivery was on time (approx 4 weeks) the Quality was OK but not the same as my Flex Steel 6 way. The product rotates, tilts and reclines as I would expect and the color matches the rest of my interior. Hope this helps

I would also recommend going with Villa. I bought Flexsteel chairs and went thru a nightmare of terrible sewing/stuffing on ultra expensive custom made captains' chairs. Sent the first pair back to the company. What quality control? They were replaced - better, but still not up to what I expected from a top of the line company. You don't want to make excuses to your visitors for the poor craftsmanship cause you saved a few bucks. Go with Villa, bought my sleeper/couch from them. They care about their quality and it shows in their attention to detail. Incorporated seat belts are better design too. Good Luck Gerry H

Thanks Gerry, This Villa? > http://www.villainternational.com/products/index.htm

What did you pay for them? If you dont mind me asking....

I do like the integrated seat belt!

Anyone else use villa? Never heard of them before...

looks good but there is little to no info on their website..

I did once come across some huge double wide motorhome seats on a tour and some of their photos look like pretty big seats but it could be an optical illusion.

I am going back to Villa me or the wife don't care for Flexsteel after having Villa for so many years I loved my big Villa drivers seat.

The higher end converters all use Villa furniture 

 Bradd and Hall sells the Villa along with Flexsteel
