Today the new articulating chesterfield arrived! It was time to replace the other older brown ones that kind of flattened out from our bums over the past four years. We loved those things but as time went on, sitting and watching a movie became a test in patience as our bums would fall asleep before we did while watching a lot of really bad movies.
This time, Instead of two "chairs", I found this one-unit piece which articulates like a beach chair would, giving you several different angles (and full flat) to recline at. It is probably big enough for two midgets to sleep on, but not for a live human being, unless we removed their legs first. One tiny person could probably curl up there for afternoon naps and stuff, I guess.... And right under the room heater it would offer a great warm place to nap. Or read. Or, whatever might tickle one's fancy.
I got it on Yahoo Japan Auction for JPY 3500 or about $32. Shipping cost $50 to get it here, but that's OK because furniture is not easy or cheap to ship. It originally was going to cost about $130 to get here, but I asked the seller to look around and she got this great deal, went through really detailed packing and taping, and sent it off to arrive today! I am very happy with this purchase.
It arrived in great form and it feels good. The cushions are still really poofy so there should be no trouble sitting and reading my National Geographic, or Economic Newspaperzzzzzzz *huh? wha? Oh!* there!
The last time we were in Tokyo in December we got these great zabuton covers for the pillows that came with it, as well as this throw to put over the drab cream coloured material. It will make a great replacement for our brown ones! Sayonara Brown Articulating Chesterfield chairs, and Welcome in the New!
Another Universal Dream Come True, and Mission Accomplished! Thank you Universe!
I love you!
