I love it but I see the words "Italian" and "high-end." I am afraid to find out how much it costs.

I love it for now, but it looks like it will be dated very soon....it has a touch of the Memphis 80's Italian style, so I wonder how long will you want to live with it.

But is it comfortable?
And I would assume the cost is only for "high end" people.

What a great shape. Don't love the colors.

I love that... inspires me to think of ideas with colored duct tape and some old chair frames for outdoors....
