Great recliner!

We just got a new recliner for our showroom floor.  Now the husbands dragged into the store can find sanctuary amidst all the fabric.  We place a lot of furniture in homes with a good plan, a photo, a fabric swatch, and a finish sample, but a recliner is a different animal.   I think I read a statistic that men spend 20% of their life in a recliner (just kidding I think…eight hours at work, two hours eating, one in the bathroom, two commuting…I’ll bet I’m close), so it has to have a test drive first.  That decision is personal.  This chair is a bright red eye catcher (red leather is a lot more popular than you might think!) and the new leather smells so good.  The line is McNeely Champion and I really like them for a couple of reasons.  For its kind of quality, the price is right, and the guy making the frames has been doing it for forty years.  That’s commitment!  They can also do some pretty cool things with leather.  I saw one on their floor in High Point that had hair hide on the outside and a really distressed leather on the inside.  Very cool.

  1. Alan – when you furnish my office in our new, expansive digs, there will be two requirements – recliner with floor lamp and wing back chair with ottoman and floor lamp. Both for reading, both for end of the week enjoyment of chilled beverages. Both in leather. Better get going on selecting options because you and I will alternate between who gets first pick on Friday afternoons!!

  2. John,

    Sounds like a plan! My favorite leather name is Bourbon Gunsmoke. I think that would be perfect for your office and goes perfectly with my chilled beverage of choice.
