that jen risom lounge has been on craigslist here in chicago forever! almost as long as that george nelson cabinet that seems like it's been listed every few days for the last 2 years.

i live in chicago and we have two cb2 stores here. i have been looking at this as well, i'll go give it a sit and see how comfy it is an report back.
