The widow who used to own it did crosswords while sitting on the chairs. We decided to chance it and bought them because they were comfortable. Eventually we got the stains out with Purell sanitizers. I couldn't believe it. And if you ever decide to try this, be sure to test it in an area that nobody will see first.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266414848798382290.post-73345717264095974992022-08-16T15:26:29.132-04:002022-08-16T15:26:29.132-04:00Oops I meant you and Art.

And I wish I COULD have several of you here, though I'm sure you'd probably all aim for the couch--I'm still leaning towards the pillow chair, I just figure I don't have to keep it forever and you only live once. As for the shoulder blade tingle, that's kind of you to ask--but I do suffer with gallstones, and I DID read a common symptom is pain or other sensation between the shoulder blades in the center back. But I think it could be a pinched nerve too. I sit on the floor and lean against my couch a lot.

If we're all coming to your place for a party, we might be pickier about which chair you get. But be sure and get one for you.<br />I saw your note on another blog. Where do you get the idea that a tickle between your shoulder blades could be a gallbladder problem? (I've heard lots of funny stuff in my years of nursing, and may have missed something.) Please have it checked out, in case you have a funny vessel narrowing, but it almost sounds like a nerve problem. Maybe the new chair will fix it!

Or to top of armrest with the back being higher? what is the floor to seat measurement? These are things you need to think about. You don't want to have to climb up into a chair, nor do you want to sit in one and feel as if you might as well be on a cushion on the floor.

I agree you don't want to order something special (that's non-returnable) without trying it out first. The others definitely don't look comfortable to me. Well, #2 looks good... and I guess if you could return it if not satisfied, it might be your best bet. Don't like #3 - looks almost dangerous. Good luck!

No return policy is not very good either. Number 3 would definitely be a no go for me. That doesn’t look comfortable. I think I would be squashed with my feet sticking straight out! I am partial to number two. I know everyone is talking about the armrests or the lack of with this one. That wouldn’t bother me.<br />I hope everyone’s opinions have helped Doug.
