After six years with his reliable Costco recliners, ElectronicsNMore decided it was finally time for an upgrade. What started as a casual search for new home theater seating soon became a full transformation of his home theater setup — one focused on comfort, build quality, and timeless design.

In his latest video, he shares why he replaced those well-worn chairs with the Weilianda Astronaut Series in Slate Blue, a premium home theater recliner designed for luxury, ergonomics, and durability.

From unboxing to setup, this in-depth review captures every detail, showing how seamlessly the Astronaut Series recliners come together and enhance any home theater space.

First Impressions: Design, Color, and Build Quality

Before diving into the features, the first thing that stands out about the Weilianda Astronaut Series is how it looks and feels right out of the box. Every element, from craftsmanship to color, reflects a premium luxury recliner experience that balances modern aesthetics with practical use.

Premium Touch Materials

At first glance, the Astronaut Series doesn’t just look premium — it feels premium. Every contact surface is wrapped in genuine top-grain leather, offering that smooth, breathable touch you can instantly recognize. For the sides and back, Weilianda uses a durable, high-performance synthetic leather, engineered to resist wear and maintain its rich color even after years of use.

Inside, a combination of high-density foam and memory foam delivers the perfect balance between plush comfort and enduring support. The cushions gently conform to your body’s shape while maintaining structure over time.

As ElectronicsNMore describes it:

“Very nice leather... Everything is nice and straight...And the amount of padding is just right.”

This smart material balance — genuine leather where it matters most, and reinforced synthetics where durability is key — ensures the Astronaut Series remains both luxurious and practical for everyday home theater seating.

Slate Blue — A Modern, Cinematic Tone

The Slate Blue recliner transforms subtly under different lighting. In daylight, it feels calm and contemporary; under the base LED glow, it shifts into a cool, cinematic tone that elevates the room’s atmosphere.

ElectronicsNMore highlighted how this unique hue refreshed his entire theater space:

"The color is perfect. It's like a slate blue, so it goes with my decor...They really have a beautiful look."

The Astronaut Series also comes in classic Black, bold Red, and elegant Gray, giving homeowners the freedom to match their personal aesthetic — whether it’s sleek, vibrant, or minimal. The Slate Blue, however, remains a standout for those who want something both refined and distinctive.

Comfort & Features: Built for Everyday Luxury

Once the chairs were in place, comfort quickly became the star of the show. The Astronaut Series combines an ergonomic design with smart power functions, transforming simple relaxation into a fully immersive experience.

Power Recline, Headrest, and Zero Gravity Comfort

The Astronaut Series is built for fully customizable comfort. Each seat features independent power recline and an adjustable headrest, along with a Zero Gravity function that gently tilts your body for optimal relaxation.

As ElectronicsNMore put it during his review:

“Comfortable. Very nice. Quiet.”

When testing the recline and headrest adjustments, he also shared his experience of the chair in its fully reclined position:

“Now let's go the laying down position. Feels perfect. Now let's lift the head up. You could lay down almost flat, watch TV and still feel great.”

These firsthand impressions highlight how the Astronaut Series blends quiet, smooth operation with versatile positioning, allowing users to find their ideal angle — whether for watching a movie, gaming, or simply relaxing.

LED Cup Holders and Base Ambient Lighting

The soft LED glow from the cup holders and base adds a subtle sense of atmosphere to any room. You can adjust the brightness or turn them off entirely for a more traditional theater feel. It’s not just a decorative feature — it’s part of the immersive experience Weilianda aims to deliver.

As ElectronicsNMore points out in his video:

“Check out that accent lighting. It looks great.”

In the latest Astronaut Series V2.0, these ambient lights are even more versatile, offering seven different color options, allowing you to fully customize the mood of your home theater and create the perfect cinematic environment for any occasion.

Storage and Smart Details

Practicality is where Weilianda truly shines. Each armrest opens to reveal hidden storage compartments, perfect for remotes, tablets, or cables. The seats also include removable tray tables and a built-in USB charging port, keeping your devices powered during long movie nights.

For those who enjoy multitasking, the tablet holder accessory adds even more versatility — perfect for reading, browsing, or managing smart-home controls during downtime.

Every piece feels thought through — practical, comfortable, and designed for the way people actually use their home theaters.

Why the Astronaut Series Stands Out

Beyond comfort and aesthetics, what makes the Astronaut Series special is how it’s built — from its solid frame to the modular setup that adapts to any space.

Designed for Longevity

ElectronicsNMore reflects on why he upgraded from his six-year-old Costco recliners, noting issues like peeling vinyl and unstable swivel bases. The Weilianda Astronaut Series solves these problems with fully leather contact surfaces and reinforced synthetic leather on the sides and back.

Building on the premium materials mentioned earlier, the armrests are well-padded, the stitching is precise, and the overall construction feels solid and reliable. These recliners are built for everyday home theater use without compromising durability.

Easy Assembly & Modular Structure

The unboxing and setup process impressed him as much as the chair itself. Despite its substantial weight, he demonstrates how a single person can maneuver the recliner indoors safely and install the seat back with ease.

“When you put the seat back all the way down and in, push down semi-hard from the top until you hear it click.”

The modular design allows multiple recliners to connect into rows of 2–6 seats, perfect for any home theater size. All the electrical connections for the headrest, recline, and LED lighting are plug-and-play, keeping installation straightforward without sacrificing functionality.

Balancing Aesthetics with Functionality

The Astronaut Series excels at marrying design and practical features. Each recliner offers LED-illuminated cup holders, a base accent light strip, hidden storage compartments, removable tray tables, and USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports. Accessories like the tablet holder and wine glass mount are cleverly integrated.

Even the small details — from the precisely stitched leather to the lumbar support and adjustable headrest — are thoughtfully executed, creating a seat that is both visually appealing and supremely functional.

Final Thoughts: A Worthy Upgrade for Modern Home Theaters

Every upgrade tells a story — and in this case, it’s about rediscovering what real comfort feels like. The Astronaut Series Blue Recliners deliver more than looks; they offer an experience that makes every movie night feel special.

From its balanced use of premium materials to its modular flexibility, it’s designed for those who want everyday relaxation without compromising on durability or style.

ElectronicsNMore’s journey — from his six-year-old Costco chairs to these Slate Blue recliners — perfectly captures what Weilianda stands for: making luxury accessible, without the inflated price tag.
