I am totally wet over those Knoll club chairs. I lust for them. And they are even in my favorite color.

I see you post listings from Wright quite often. I worked there long ago and should mention that they often fix things themselves (or outsource) and do not tell the buyer or list it for the auction. They do not take the time to find vintage parts or correct procedures of going about it...just secretly tend to the problem and the buyer/collector knows no different. A few times things were done the correct way, but mostly just the 'wright' (wrong) way.
