CHI Good Questions: Cheaper Alternative to "Relounge"?

2008-05-28-re1.jpgJosh sent in a good question: "Hi, I am looking for a lounge chair for our living room. I love the "Relounge" from Dietiker, but it's too pricey. I love its lack of arms, the seating position, light metal frame, and minimal seat...

You could go for the ikea - Poang, probably their best item. Ive owned one for a while, they hold up well and they look great.

Not quite as close, but: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6980407

I just ordered this chair from Z Gallerie,

It's basicly a steel frame wrapped in leather, with a little padding in the seat and back. It sits pretty low but I find it incredibly comfy and matches my sofa nicely.
