Oooh, I have been saving up to buy one of these chairs! They are so comfortable.

I bought a similar couch at Urban Outfitters (this one- http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp;jsessionid=B6688D2F69257DF3F757A19C7DFE8F44.app12-node7?itemdescription=true&itemCount=60&id=13216502&parentid=A_FURN_FURNITURE&sortProperties=&navCount=196&navAction=poppushpush&color=) about 9 months ago. It looked great and was comfortable at first, but the buttons pop off very easily, the cushion is wearing down fast, and it's getting dirty and it is difficult to clean. So 9 months later I broke down and bought a couch from Room & Board, and I wish I had done that to begin with. Originally I wanted a sofa bed too, but they were all too poofy looking for me so I got a Wells and decided that if I have guests I will have to get an aerobed or have them just sleep on the couch.

I used to have a futon couch from Ikea that was much more comfortable and durable but not as cute. Room & Board has some sofas that are in the $1000 range (like the Lenox and the Archer) and if you are going to end up having to replace the Urban one in a year anyway it might be worth spending a little bit more for something that is built a little better.

I have the silver one and it has 3 heavy coats, a couple bags, and some umbrellas on it now and it's been straight and sturdy.

Are these available at any store in NYC or can they be shipped here? I don't read French very well, unfortunately!
