I don’t have my digital camera right now, but I will post pictures. I found a very cool vintage/retro/somethingish leather rocking chair/recliner. It is not like a lazy boy. It is very stream line and modernish. It doesn’t have the standard rocking bottom, more of a spring action that is smooth like the new dutalier gliders. It doesn’t recline, but its positioned in a more of a laying back position. I’m guessing anywhere from 1950’s-1970’s is when it was made. It looks to be original materials and everything. I’m sure it’s not an Eames or something, but as it is from the Salvation Army, I can dream. I luffs it. And I just want to find out more about it. There are no ID tags or marks on it that I can find. Pardon me for not gushing more on it, but I have to go sit in it while I get the chance. ---

Sorry, can’t help with IDing it, but for a minute there I thought you had some fetish about furniture you’ve had sex on. ---

If you just scored on it, wouldn’t you say you’re already pretty familiar with it? Yeah, that’s what I thought. 😉 Sorry, I don’t have anything helpful to add. Just being a perv. ---

I’m guessing [theDoMechair.com](http://theDoMechair.com) is a good place to start, though not while at work, obviously. He he. “Do Me” chair. ---

I would like to state, with much sadness and hilarity, that when my husband sat on the chair tonight, it crumbled under him. ☹ ---

It’s hard to believe that the chair was able to withstand the rigors of serving as a sexual device yet could not bear the weight of just your husband. ---

Isn’t the chair you score on called a Sybian? ---

The chair, we discovered upon collapsing, was glued together, not (heh) screwed. So, Mr. Ujest will take the chore upon himself and properly screw it. 😃 ---
