I’ve posted other pieces in my history on here

We are very thrifty and i search all the resale options often (fb, eBay, peddlers malls, less so Craigslist nowadays) for good deals. I refinish a lot of older pieces that need it so I don’t mind if it’s beat up when I buy it, Drexel is my favorite MCM brand. This chair was definitely a luxury purchase we saved for and thought about for awhile, as most expensive BIFL products can be, but we knew we wouldn’t find one exactly like it in the wild.

Yeah they do have some hideous couches and a few chair options are bulky and ugly as well; they are all super comfortable though.

This wasn’t bought for desk use, they do make desk bases with rollers though. This is a 4th comfortable seat option for our small living room next to the couch.

I think that is the “batic” leather option when choosing materials for your order, this one is “Paloma” leather

Easily my favorite comment ever

The promised land…

That style in black was our 2nd choice

Dox tax paid: Sherman

Nah, less than half that price.

Straight outta Lowes

I appreciate the comment, my wife is the designer. I’ve posted some other furniture pieces on the mid century subreddit before with views of other rooms. The living room is getting there, the side table beside this chair is temporary.

Cats man, the antagonists to BIFL products

Yeah we have a natussi leather couch next to this chair that our basset hound is on often, we clean and condition every couple months.

The Stressless is more comfortable definitely, it reclines as well and just pulls you in. The eames chair is my pick for style but the wife likes the stressless for that category as well, she likes the leather back because “we have enough wood furniture already.” Nothing as timeless as a Herman Miller eames chair imo, stressless comfort is just unrivaled though.

I had looked for over a year for a used one with black leather in a style and base that I liked. I’m not a fan of the standard wood ring bases and figured if I still wanted one after over a year that I wouldn’t regret the purchase.

Opal with a cross base

It’s a known brand on this subreddit, look it up

Edit: not trying to come off as rude, skepticism makes this subreddit higher quality

There are dealers in many major cities in the US, the one in my town has about 15 floor models in various configurations to sit in.

Actually replaced where the eames was in our living room, it got moved upstairs, still looking for an ottoman for it.

This is the “opal” in medium size. I had never seen this base option in person beforehand.

This was ~$3200. Ordered late November, arrived late January. Definitely some used available out there on fb for cheaper but color or style isn’t always ideal, they last for decades though.
