My girlfriend Katie has had this chair for over 10 years. Every time I'd go to her house, apartment, boyfriends house, wherever she was living at the time, I'd wander over and sprawl like a 12 year old in it. I had a serious thing for this chair. Never could justify shopping for one myself; god knows I have enough mismatched furniture that goes with absolutely nothing. But I really, really like this chair.

Katie finally bought a house! And with her new house, she bought all new furniture. Casually I asked, what are you doing with "the chair".

"Oh, that thing is going to GoodWill. Why, do ya want it?"

Do St. Bernards drool? I more than fell over myself to say oh yes, I'd love to have it. Are you sure you don't...?

So today, it was my chair. For about 3 hours. Soon as Samantha saw it, she went running for it. She hasn't moved from it since.

The one thing that I had forgotten is just how really BIG this chair is. Took a bit of shuffling of the tables and couches. But it looks great in that corner. Eventually I need to recover The Chair and the recliner so they match, but for now.... comfort!
