Behold, the perfect chair

A year or so ago, I test-drove The Perfect Chair at Davis Lumber (aka Davis Ace). It fit me exactly, it glided and swiveled and reclined, and one of its best features was that the back was high enough to keep my head from whiplashing if—make that when—I fell asleep reading. It wasn't cheap, though, and I didn't have the money to buy it. But every time I went into the store, I sat in it again, even showed it to my sister when she was here last year; she concurred that it was, indeed, The Perfect Chair. I have wanted a good reading chair for years. And I vowed that if I ever could afford it, I would order it.

Today, thanks to a story I wrote for UC Davis Magazine, I went to Davis Lumber, plunked down $614.16, and purchased The Perfect Chair. Here's the fabric:
It'll be ready in 5 or 6 weeks, according to Kyle, the very helpful guy at Davis Lumber, who put up with my hovering over the order form to make sure he got it right. I will probably have to rearrange my living room once it arrives. I can't wait.
