downtowner's Profile

About two years ago I purchased a Vladimir Kagan sofa from them. I like their style and prices, and the salesperson was helpful. However, the sofa that arrived was badly flawed. Their post-sale service was disgusting and off-putting. A web search indicated that this seems to be their pattern, sell the stuff and shaft the customer rather than provide service, by acting sociopathic. Probably logical, though appalling, in the impersonal NYC market, where there are always new customers to beat down.

Be warned.

For processing digital photos, Apple is considered better. My old 23" ACD is a photo viewer in the living room. The 30" ACD I'm now using will become one in the new study.

Best of all is the new EIZO 30" display (confirmed by B&H), which will be my new photoprocessing powerhouse.

You can get them at Grainger. You need an account. They're expensive, but have a white, instead of a metallic bottom.

We used them with the Ottavia fixture from Luce Plan, but to get more light we switched to Phillips 100 w bulbs.
