Found a Stressless in a charity shop for $150!! We weren't in the market for one... but pretty much had to buy it for that price!

Pretty sure the old ladies at the store had no idea what they were selling... it was priced cheaper than some brand new shitty quality recliners next to it.

Interesting, I'll keep this in mind!

I want to be with this chair

Can you find the name of that? My uncle had one of these when I was young and it was my favorite chair before their house fire.

People who have dogs live longer.

Speak for yourself.

Wooaaaahhhh!!! I love stressless. I just started working at raymour and the stressless rep came in to show us how to sell the sapphire and their products. His passion for the product convinced me this will be a good purchase. The quality is really good!

> It is expensive being poor.

That, of course, is by design.

I hate buying things, I want to buy things less.

I bought my Stressless after seeing one at a party. Found the owner and it was 28 years old, and outside of the leather having patina from use looked like it could have been bought recently. I sat in it and the springs and cushion were all in great shape.

The ones made in Asia are sold under the IMG brand. The Stressless brand is still made in Norway.

Mink oil is da shit! Been riding motorcycles for 45 years I use that stuff on everything leather

Death trap.

Straight outta Lowes

I’m 6’ almost exactly and am about 280 right now. I have a Stressless Wing and it is great for me. If you can try having him sit in some in a store if you can find one, as the different models do all feel a bit different.

one interesting thing that has evolved for me- I used to think BIFL was a universally good strategy for reducing waste and saving money. buy everything for life, never have to buy anything more than once! an exaggeration but that was my approach.

Now I realize that BIFL is more than just buying stuff that will last. Its buying atiff that will last and that I will use. Turns out those high end BIFL bean bag couches dont fit with my lifestyle anymore. I try to be more choosy now and conservatively do the BIFL thing on things that won't go out of style or that aren't specific to my current lifestyle.

I'll always need to eat so kitchen stuff is good. clothing/furniture/ anything that follows trends and life stages are hit or miss.

Why even have a cage?

Could be part of it! My beard wears through my motorcycle helmet cheekpads really fast.

Good Lord!

$7k + right there… it will last you a lifetime tho that’s for sure

Has Chinese owners these days (since 2018) Still has the same production facilities as they had before (as far as I could tell), with the new owner saying at the time, they "didn't have plans to change anything". But you know the value of words like that, so I would be wary of quality of quality drops in future production and do your research before buying.

Don't let kids get near it lol. No doubt a kid would wanna put their finger in it.

My complements to your wife then. Wow. I checked up on your midcentury posts. You have a lot of lovely pieces there.

Asking the real questions!
