A couple of weeks ago I got it into my head that I needed a new comfy chair. Why? I mean, my present comfy chair is still comfy enough, but it’s kind of a wreck now (mostly thanks to Morcilla) and it was second hand when I got it in 2011 (to replace my previous second hand comfy chair – inherited from Agustín – that had literally fallen apart). I started looking around online at the usual places (IKEA, Leroy Merlin, El Corte Inglés) and there was one possibility for a reasonable price at ECI so I went to check it out. And well, it was crap. Cheaply made and decidedly not comfy. And then this one caught my eye.

Unfortunately Bonnie (it’s the model name, I didn’t make it up) was way out of the ballpark and I asked the sales guy if it might be discounted during the summer sales. He said that particular model didn’t usually go on sale but I could check back. Well instead I checked on line every morning and then yesterday there it was… 15% off for four days only! Which was still too expensive but I had tried her out and was kind of hooked because Bonnie was indeed very comfy. And so I went back to ECI and the same sales guy was there. He remembered me and said he was hoping I’d see the sale. Anyhow… it turned out that there would be no new stock available until August 25th, with delivery in early September, so I decided to buy the chair to lock down the price and then decide later if I should actually keep it. As Peter pointed out, it’s the last chair I’m going to buy in my lifetime so why not? We’ll see.
