Check out Thomas Moser furniture: http://www.thosmoser.com/product.popular.php ... and Lydia Davis has a new collected works set, although I recommend anything of hers at your local library. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS356US357&q=the+collected+stories+of+lydia+da

Thank you to everyone for the great suggestions - I feel confident that I'm on the right path now. I sourced a knock-off (imposter) Eames Lounge Chair from the 1970s, local and used - but it's currently on Ebay for $500. I'm going to hold out and try to get it for $300. Otherwise I'm gonna check o

I have for a long time considered chairs to be one of the world's most abundant free resources. Every time I have moved--a lot since leaving home at 18--I tend to freecycle my furniture and start over. My first priority is generally to find a great reading chair.

For my money, nothing beats the Herman Miller Eames Lounge & Ottoman, but as with bikes, try before you buy. If possible, take Rivendell Reader or three to a showroom and sit for as long as possible. Marty On Feb 10, 11:51 am, Curtis Schmitt wrote: > I agree w/ Seth on the Ikea Poang as best bud
