It's almost good, but not quite. Close, but no cigar, Ms. Lewinsky.

Well... I think the woodworking is interesting, but is that really turquoise VINYL. Not good :-)

Peace.... Annie

Annie, dear.... We prefer the term "Genuine Naugahyde."

Paul. I think $400 is a bit steep for this piece.
I had a loveseat--same era, some color, same material and only paid $60. Granted, I was still in college in the (ahem) early '80s. Regardless, this is not a true collector's piece that warrants the $400 price-tag. I think with continued thrifting, flea-marketing, and attending auctions, you should be able to find something similar for well under half the price. Something else to consider--if you have a cat, naugahyde is won't survive the claw marks. (Something I learned firsthand.) But, I agree with you. The lines are nice. And I'm digging the turquoise. But the price? I stand by my assessment of "close, but no cigar."

My god, what a hideous color of naugahyde... just the wrong shade of turq. That lumpy round chair a few weeks ago was the same color, but it was a given that it was going to be recovered.

Upholster this nicely, and it's HOT. Until then... NOT.
