Comments (12)The ad says they paid $1800 for it. I think I found it on the EA website; http://www.ethanallen.com/product?productId=848&categoryId=8001 If this is the sofa, the price paid makes sense. I appreciate all the feedback, and yes, sometimes I do need to hear that what I have is better; it's only about comfort and our current sofa has a straight back and not much depth, so it keeps you sitting upright. I thought that's what I wanted due to the relatively narrow space we had to work with. In hindsight, the sofa is used to watch TV, not really for conversation; so having one with some more depth and the ability to lean back in it is what I'd rather have. I also wish we'd gone with the three cushion style; we do seat three people there fairly often and I think it would be more comfortable. The seller may be playing games with me; in setting up the appt. for Monday she made a point of saying that she had someone else coming to look but wanted me to have first dibs since I was the first to contact. So not sure this one is going to fly; especially if I make a lower offer. Even if I love it, I don't think I'll pay more than $500. With the hassle factor of arranging delivery, etc, that's going to be my limit. So we'll see.

Comments (45)We should all look so good when we're 120! *Hijack alert* Hey I just found out that my beautiful leather garage sale find wasn't actually leather at all, it was naugahyde, and the old guy who I brought it to for reuplostering wanted $325 to re-cover it, re-tie the springs and re-do the webbing. He had some naugahyde in stock that was soft enough to "mark" when you sat on it, that is actually desirable to us crazies. And he would re-tack it, it has brass tacks too. Am I totally insane, not just a little touched? Is that a good deal, or do I need a rest in a little white room?? **back to our regularly scheduled program**...See MoreSeeing CL Game Table in 45 minutes - Worth the trip?
Comments (23)Thanks so much for your support, everyone. I have to say, this table has been growing on me pretty steadily, and now i'm really loving it. Knowing you all think it looks good in that spot (better than what i had there, yes?) makes me feel all the more confident i should keep it there in the entry. And i admit, i'm also relieved to know i didn't pay too much for it (i just can't bring myself to haggle). Valinsv, thank you so much for posting here. You know how i feel about your room, so your vote of confidence is deeply appreciated. And now i know what color Restore A Finish i should get! Leahcate, i think i know what you're saying about the flipped up table top, but it looks like i'm keeping it under the mirror so it will have to remain closed. I'll definitely post before/after pictures once i work on it. When you see a close up of the current finish, the damage will make you wince. I hope i don't muck it up. Barb5, thank you also for your vote of confidence, and i might as well comment here about the magnificent woodwork you did in your dining room! The fruits of your labor must have you bursting with pride. Well done. Bigdoglover, you're right about the versatility. That does make it so much easier to justify, and your point about having no regrets in the long run is spot on. In this economy, i can't help but to experience a stronger initial sting over what is essentially a purely self indulgent purchase. But already i've gotten over that (with all your help here), and i'm feeling good about it. :) Thanks again everyone. Cheers!...See Morevee_new
