The other one that had ones I liked (but weren't traditional) was Structube. They had a leather one I liked.

Ashleys is a bit above The Brick without going into the more expensive ones, but I wouldn't call them great quality these days.
Try Cricklewood and Bracko Home for that style.

You sure? I think it has a big crack in it!!



Hahahahahahahhhahhhhhaaahahhhh...

Yes we are heathens but one of these containers of minced garlic lasts us all year.

We home cook nearly every meal and use garlic very frequently.
Late reply I know, but, a friend of my wife's family owns a very high end well regarded restaurant in town. We went for dinner and were given a tour of the kitchen. The first thing I noticed was the chef scooping that stuff out of the jar into a saute pan.

I didn't feel so bad about my culinary skills after that, as I go through a couple jars a year making sauces, stews, chili etc...

Why not just get 3 individual recliners? You get one, your other half gets one, the cat gets one... After a couple years, just swap yours with the cat's.

You’d buy a used couch from people who don’t have bidets?

Limited width in the room, and my wife likes to lie horizontally often. I already suggested alternatives, but this is what she likes, so this is what we gets.

There's Lazyboy/Kincaid down by Ikea, and I think Cross Iron. Not all of their products are mechanical or recliner models.

I miss Kincaid/Lazy Boy in Northland in the old Future Shop. Not that one, the older one. A great deal of their stuff was either #### or not my thing, but the odd piece of furniture caught my eye. My current couch is one of theirs. It's pushing 15 years old, and it's taken a ton of abuse from dogs and my 6'6" frame. Looks brand new, but the cushions could probably use new foam.
