I saw this awesome rocking chair at yesterday's Free Comic Book day in Hoboken. The store says the owner is emotionally attached to it and not quite ready to sell it. So... does anybody know where to find a chair just like this?

Email mystery: I run a theatre company called Folding Chair Classical Theatre. The company's email address is the first two words of its name, an at sign, and gmail dot com. For the last several years, I've been getting emails (maybe four a year) from people trying to order folding chairs. The wording of these emails is all very similar to each other, which makes me wonder if this is some kind of scam. But if so, what's the angle?

I just bought the
Karlstad chair from IKEA. It's slightly defective and I'm wondering how bad it would be if I overlooked this particular defect and went ahead with putting it together anyway.

I bought one of these
Haworth office chairs some time ago. Now the vinyl(?) on the right armrest is cracked. How can I fix it? Or if I can't easily fix it, what's a good way of covering it up?

I have a problem with my dentist's chair. He has the hygenist set it up so that its tilted over backwards so my head is almost down to the floor and my legs are up in the air.
She says he wants it like this so he doesn't strain his back dealing with so many patients.
Is this typical for dentists?
Its highly irritating to me and increases my feelings of vulnerability while there.

Can you identify
the yellow chair in this photo?
Here's another picture, and
here is one more. I contacted the photographer, who said the chair had been purchased used in an antique store in the US, and that it has no markings to identify its maker. It's similar to the Vernon Panton S chair, but it ain't it.

In what Los Angeles stores can I shop for plush leather desk chairs? I'd like to visit well established stores (ones that have been around for a decade or so) and try out various desk chairs before I make a purchase. I'm willing to drop some bucks for the right chair. I want it to be down-stuffed, soft leather, plush, swivel, tiltable back, adjustable height. I'm not really concerned so much about ergonomics...I don't have back problems. I just want a sense of plushiness when I sit at my desk. I'm willing to drive to any part of town.
