Our coach came with a front Davo and two really, really terrible captains chairs. As a result we purchased two faux leather swivel/glider/recliners to put up front.

We took these on our trip to LazyDays and they are very comfortable and work well. The base is a big circle and they are very stable. They could be fastened down easily but we have them sitting on carpet and move them around when we want to recline or pull the table out. When we travel, we just pull them together and they ride fine without moving around...even over I65 potholes Shocked

However, we've decided to go with twin beds up front so these two chairs are available. We paid $245 each for them and only used them once. They are in perfect condition and come with the foot stools although we did not use them in the coach. We'd like $350 for the pair. I'll have them at Dothan.

Kinda. Actually it is a pebbled black on a very dark brown background. Effect is not quite black but rather a VERY dark brown. Goes well with our wood cabinets.

Had a few questions about these chairs. When we started looking for swivel recliners, everything we found were huge and there was now way that two of them would have fit in the limited area of the coach. While these have a seat that is plenty roomy for my 220lb butt, the arms are relatively narrow. The whole chair is about a foot narrower than most small recliners we found. Also the back does not recline as much as my LazyBoy but it reclines enough to comfortably nap in. Also, they are not 'wall-aways' so you have to scoot it out from the wall if you want to recline much.

We do not use the glider foot stools. I don't rock but Carolyn does. The problem is that the foot stool has to be in the aisle and it's always in the way for us. That said, the foot stools come with them and they fit nicely upside down in the seat while you are traveling.
