Ha! Thanks, man. I appreciate that very much. The coffee table (Lane Acclaim), teak nesting tables between the couch and chair, and the teak secretary (used as a liquor cabinet) are all vintage pieces.

She can get the real deal Herman Miller version (black leather with walnut, of course) at cost. She offered to hook me up. It's still $4k. I just...can't...do...it...  I found a knockoff on amazon that is advertised as full grain Italian leather. $1500. Before I could move on it, it disappeared. Damn. |
Yep, real Eames lounger. New production, though, not vintage. The new ones can be had in a "tall" option. At 6'4", I don't fit the vintage ones very well. We got ours from the Design Within Reach store in Charlotte, NC - they have a once a year 25% off sale. It's a hefty investment, but totally worth it, IMO. Ours was a bit more than $4K, even at 25% off.

Yes, cat door and we keep him off it with much anxiety and worry.
