The verdict
These get cross-shopped for small or budget rooms, but they’re genuinely different products. The Row One Prestige is real theater seating: modular chair-by-chair rows in top-grain leather that let you fit an odd or small room exactly and expand later, with power recline owners praise. The Signature Design by Ashley Owner's Box is a theater-styled living-room sofa set — cheaper (3-piece sets at $900–$1,350), easy to sit-test at Ashley stores, but faux leather and a fixed format without the modularity or riser-seating features. For anyone actually building a dedicated theater room, the Row One is the better purchase and wins here; the Ashley wins only on pure budget and low commitment for a casual media room. Put simply: buy the Row One if you want a real theater you’ll fit precisely to the space, and the Ashley if you want an affordable, familiar sofa set that looks the part.
