Yes. A 16×20 room with 16.5 ft usable depth exactly meets the compact 3-row minimum (3 ft rows, 2 ft risers). Five standard seats per row give 15 total seats with 13.5 inches clearance each side and 3.5 ft behind the rear row. Row 2 sits on a 15 inch riser, Row 3 on a 30 inch riser, each providing 13 inches of sightline clearance above the row in front.
For a 3-row setup, the rear row sits at approximately 14–15 ft from the screen — ideal for 150–180 inches. For a 2-row setup with rear row at 12 ft, 150 inches is the sweet spot. At these sizes, a laser projector (Epson, Optoma, BenQ) with a fixed-frame ALR screen is the right choice. A laser projector at this room size delivers far better value than a large-format TV.
A 15-seater with single motor and standard leatherette is ₹4,50,000 including dual riser construction. Triple motor with full Italian leather is ₹12,00,000. All recliner pricing is GST-inclusive and factory-direct. Dual riser construction adds ₹70,000–10,000 vs ₹35,000–50,000 for a single riser, due to two platform levels needed.
Row 2 sits on a 15 inch riser (eye level rises to 57 inches vs Row 1 headrest at 44 inches — 13 inches clearance). Row 3 sits on a 30 inch riser (eye level rises to 72 inches vs Row 2 headrest at 59 inches — 13 inches clearance). Both levels give identical sightline clearance.
