Our friends just bought this sofa and chairs, and we got a chance to try them out. Big thumbs up. Comfortable, with classic lines and a decent price, the Lockport is also part of C&B's new Eco Line of furniture, which is a great achievement for a big company like this:
Frames are constructed of hardwood certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council. Plump seat cushions are filled with Preserve, the first soy-based poly-foam, then wrapped in downproof ticking. Back cushions are made from recycled post-consumer fibers and encased in downproof ticking.
It's a nice looking sofa, but I'm not sure what the point of hyping "down-proof ticking" is if there's no down in it in the firdt place, other, I mean, than to get the assumed upscale connotations of the word "down" into your brain. Obviously, at some level, it's working.

down-proof ticking is a type of tightly woven ticking, and even though there is not down in the cushioning, its tighter weave is softer...not everything is a conspiracy

I thought I learned on this blog that small spaces should have bare legs under which one's eyes see more floor. This seems counterintuitive to that logic.
