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.

Kinda related story;
My grandpa passed about 5 years ago. Avid deer hunter, but he didn’t hunt his last 10 years. His deer stand sat abandoned the whole time and slowly rotted. Finally about 2 years ago the wind knocked it over. I discovered this a few months after it happened and was picking through the mess. I found the mangled remnants of an authentic Herman Miller lounge chair from the 1960’s. I mentioned it to my dad and showed him a picture of what the chair was supposed to look like. He said that chair was in there house as a kid, got moved to his shop in the 80’s, and finally ended up in his deer stand.
Looking around quick online this chair are worth up to $10k+. I couldn’t believe it.

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

Reply to comment by rantingpacifist in BMW M leather jacket 40+ years old. I inherited it from my stepfather 20 years ago and wore it every year since then, like across fall & winter time. The zip is now broken, the color faded away but still - by far - my favorite jacket. by k7v1n
Hi this is a bit late but thank you. I'll look into it

Is there anywhere you can try these out in person before ordering?

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.

I’d LOVE one of their office chairs. The London high back 😮💨

Yes. That behavior is a massive red flag, especially if your SO takes their side.

My mom always told us to buy the best quality you can afford without going into debt. My husband & I have this philosophy as well. So, for example, we’d save or use year end bonuses to buy nicer furniture a piece at a time versus buying a cheaper set of furniture all at once.

Same with my dog. I never wanted a fucking dog. He's an amazing addition to my life, but I very specifically did not want to tie myself to a dog (I like to travel)
Stupid ass MiL thought she was going to be violently raped, murdered, all her possessions stolen, her house burned, her (adult) daughter kidnapped, her tires slashed and bank accounts drained by a murderous psychopath...
In a retirement neighborhood with 3 churches and 2 schools half a klick away. Police station 2 klicks away.
So her and sister-in-law decide they want a SIBERIAN HUSKY to feel safer. Poor dog has been stuck inside its whole life. Never gets walks. Never gets washed. Is fed a complete diet of dog treats and jerky (thanks MiL). Is given multiple bowls of food on the bed and couch...
And SURPRISE! This high-energy working dog is going nuts. With zero guidance or structured training, he tears apart the house everytime he's alone. He eats food off the counter. Muddy pawprints on all the furniture. Goes through the trash...
Because they don't want to crate him, or muzzle, or train, or even feed properly. So in sympathy, I start taking him out for walks and doing training sessions.
Get him potty trained, and teach him what toys are...
Now he's "my" dog and I'm constantly getting blamed for all the misbehavior that they reward.
I love the furry demon. Swear to God, he's a little ball of exactly what I need.
But fucking hell... is this what I should expect from my MiL when I actually have children?

I don't like shopping, so I'd rather do it once. And wasting stuff bugs me.

A good quality stainless steel water bottle if cleaned properly will lend no taste or smell of its own. Lots of reviews out there, mine is ~5 years old and going strong.

Yeah, with pretty much any living thing I can guarantee it will last its entire life
