Which Chair to Choose?
February 25th, 2009 § 1 Comment
With any new space, come new challenges and our living room is no exception. The space is larger than the last room with a wall that is mainly windows (don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about the upgrade, but it does present a challenge). The larger room dwarfs some of our current pieces and the windows present a problem only in that we don’t want to block them too much but we still need additional seating.
So, the overall solution to the room has been finding oversized pieces (i.e. the Easton Sofa) and for the window dilemma, I had to find something with a low back that wouldn’t block the view but would be large enough to provide plenty of seating for guests and comfortable enough for Joe to lounge in and watch t.v. from. The perfect piece? A chaise lounge! The next step was just a matter of finding the right one.
After much searching, I narrowed the options down to the ones pictured above (Clockwise from top left: Hutton left-back sofa, Room and Board $1999; Morrow Chaise, Jonathan Adler $1800; Danner Daybed, Jonathan Adler $2800; Lampert Daybed, Jonathan Adler $2650). I was a little Adler heavy, but he does make some really good chaise lounges. All of these options are a bit pricey, but this piece is a focal point in the room and the above styles are classic pieces that can be kept forever and recovered for an updated look.
So, after finding out that the Room and Board option was not in stock (even though on the website it is listed as “In Stock”- so annoying), I decided to check out the Adler options even though I thought the lead time would be too long. Much to my surprise, they are having a floor sample sale right now in S.F. with 15%-20% off (this is probably true in most stores so you should go check it out!). Sale and no lead time? Done and done. So, our Lampert Daybed is supposed to arrive today. Fingers crossed it arrives in one piece!

A-Lister’s Need to Know:
Prices: Listed above
Purchase:
I like the bottom right.
Top left would have been fine too, but Room and Board is trying their best to go bankrupt by not selling anything to the remaining few who still want to buy.
And the “floor discount” on the Lampert was 32.1%…silver lining of a bad economy?
