Wow what a coincidence! I got a couple of compliments on my chair in the background of my “What’s in the box!” post a few days ago. I didn’t actually know who makes it because my mom gave it to me when my parents downsized their home. Then I find this topic, which interests me greatly, and start reading from the beginning, find this post, and realize that the Ekornes Stressless Mayfair is my chair.
Sitting in mine right now, some of the best money I have ever spent.
I’m thinking upgrading your chair may be more of an improvement to music listening than upgrading your DAC.
I was close, but read some reviews saying they are made of much cheaper leather/material so may not be as comfortable as the look. I’ll have to add the real one on my “someday” list, not ready to spend that much on a chair in my current place.
For me the Stressless was the clear winner based on overall comfort, longevity/warranty customization options and I could go to a local store to try them before the purchase. Also you can get them on sale significantly discounted. @bigshel99.
Definitely provides a much better comfort experience to be sure!
hmmm, thanks for the insight there. What kind of discounts do they get on sale?
Could be $1000-$1500 off I will hook you up with the spot I got mine from, they usually will take good care of peeps especially right now I imagine.
One thing we liked about the Stressless chairs is that the wife could get one that fit her (small) and I could get one that fit me, medium and they have a large for the bigger person.
The problem with an Eames chair is, if you sit in it you can’t look at it. And sitting before a mirror (in my case) would just reveal and unsightly lumpiness. Best to have two…
Thank you.

Edit:
actually there is no light in the corner - the window is on the left side and closer to camera position
the tree stump is usually in the corner and the small table on the right side, with the chair pointing towards the camera with the stool in front of it
but for the picture - it did not work for a clean look
I need a tree stump like that, great side table for a bottle of libations , tumbler, ash tray (cigar), and maybe a book or adult magazine (for the articles).
miss the times, when it was ok to smoke inside
are there still any adult magazines in print format available? - would be ugly to get them on “used” market LoL
I love my huge and soft chair, I can almost lie in it. Usually I put some food and drinks on the table by the chair and God, I can spend all day long sitting there.
P.S. My Bella also wanted to be on the photo
Looks very comfortable.
Bella, the chair, or both?
Both! Dogs are some of the best at cuddling.
