Maxxair industrial fans.

That sounds super stressful! I'm glad that you and your SO have each other's backs, though. I wish you the best of luck in getting out of that situation.

We had one, but be mindful to wash it regularly (wipe down with a leather cleaner, super easy) if you want it to last a long time. Apparently the oils from your hair can really wear down the leather headrest.

OR ferrosi is great, but not super water proof.

Contact the company. They’ll be able to help you

My dad has one from the 80s and it’s still good. Mine are all 20 ish years old at this point. I’d trust it more than any American designed chairs/couches

My Delsey Helium has been checked a checked bag through over 100 flights and is still going strong...

Very nice. I’ve never heard of them. But they’re handsome af. Well done.

I want to mention that I have enough money to buy nice things.

There’s so much talk on this sub about the advantages of buying expensive things. Ultimately, bifl is a way for people with extra money to buy nice things. That’s it. We consider quality and durability a justification to spend our extra money. Other people care more about brand names or resale value. It’s a personal choice rich people get to make.

My grocery shopping bags are bifl. They’re Filson totes. There are more than a dozen of them stuffed in my trunk and another handful in the closet I use just for bags and briefcases. To top it all off, I have all of my groceries delivered.

I’m probably going to get a bunch of flak for this. I just wanted to be clear why we do this. None of us are living on food stamps.

Best two weeks of my life.

You must be an extremely good catfish parent.

Congratulations on raising him through childhood, adolescence (shudder), and on to adulthood.

Has he decided on a college?

I have a 20 usd one that's like 6inches. Its desk top sized but pushes A LOT of air for a little fan

Amazon sells magic erasers by the hundred. Worth it.

I have a Northface Apex Flex soft shell that’s tough enough to be my snowmobiling jacket, and an REI pack able soft shell that’s my active winter shell. Highly recommend both.

This leads me to one of my favourite words in English: antimacassar.

I'll take "things sales guys will tell you when selling you a luxury item" please

This is clearly derivative of the Eames design but it is certainly not an Eames clone by any stretch of the imagination.

Also don't forget Ray.

I was going to say that they must have changed their iconic bentwood frame to copy Eames. I have several ekornes and they are both incredibly uncomfortable to me.

Outdoor Research makes great jackets

I know they vary their grades but I remember visiting a stressless store about 15 years ago and the leather on one couch was about the most incredible thing imaginable. Absolute butter. Hideous couch though.

How does this stack up to the Eames?

Cats man, the antagonists to BIFL products

Most stuff they do not make like they used to.
Depends on how often you’re gonna use it for me. If it’s a tool I use to make my livelihood, I want the best or close to it. Some other tools, I will buy lower quality cheaper as chances are I won’t wear it out or break it. I’m old and have most tools I will ever need and then some. You got my upvote, “ only the rich can afford to buy cheap”
