EZ Base movie theater seats sit on a free-standing base instead of being drilled into the floor. This collection has the Seatcraft Madrigal Free-Standing Base movie theater seats in black, blue and red vinyl, plus the Montago 2 Row and 3 Row riser packages. The Madrigal listing says the bases support and stabilize the chairs on their own, so you don't need to tear up floorboards or drill into the ground.
What Is a Free-Standing Base Movie Theater Seat?
A free-standing base is a frame the seats fasten onto, so the row stands on its own rather than being fixed to the floor. For the Madrigal seats, the product page says you attach the bases into a row, then fasten the seats in. The Madrigal listing describes this as a no drill, free-standing setup.
No Drill Movie Theater Seats: Rocker Back and Gravity Lift
The Madrigal seats have a rocker backrest, which gives a wider range of sitting angles, large cupholders and an armrest that flips up. They also have a gravity-lift mechanism, which lifts the seat back up when you sit forward so you can move past. The upholstery is vinyl with a diamond stitch pattern, and the Specifications tab lists 350 lbs. per seat.
Row Widths for Madrigal EZ Base Seats
A commercial row of 3 is about 72–78" wide, and the Madrigal EZ Base row of 3 is 74.5". A row of 2 is 51", a row of 4 is 98" and a row of 5 is 121.5". Rows of 6 are also offered, so call the design line at 1-800-407-8665 for that width or for a longer venue layout.
Montago Riser Packages in the EZ Base Collection
The collection also lists the Montago 2 Row and 3 Row riser packages. The 2 Row package has a floor platform and a 7" riser, and the 3 Row package adds a 14" riser with a step. From the diagram on its product page, the 3 Row package is 115" deep from front to back (a 23" floor platform, then 46" for the 7" riser and 46" for the 14" riser with step), and its overall width is 77" with 3 seats per row, 106" with 4, 130" with 5 and 154" with 6. The product descriptions say installation takes minimal tools. See the Stadium Movie Seat Packages collection for the full set of riser packages.
