I ordered an Oslo sofa, I really liked the size and comfort of it, and it has a nice price on it as well. Though tempted to order it in the magnificent GR 4 Quintessence as shown, I chickened out and put a GR 2 Piazza hide on it to keep the price down. Last shot is a general room setting in mostly fabric from H&M.

Look at those fat wrinkles on the back of the green Swindon Chair. Fantastic! That's when you know you have 'real' leather when you see that.....not a processed-to-within-an-inch-of-its-leather-life hide.

See this Oscar Glider? You may not believe this, but this is one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat it, and I'm not even a real big fan of this style. I sat in this chair for over 90 minutes on Sunday night having fun talking with one of the H&M Furniture Designers (Alan Price). The showroom closed at 7 p.m., and all of a sudden it was 8:15 p.m. and we were the only ones left in the place other than the cleanup crew! I liked this chair so much I ordered one for my floor stock, and its price friendly, too. HIGHLY recommended.

The first recliner in this photo series is the massive Weymuth, which is not only the most costly recliner in the line, but the largest. To show how big it is, I asked my H&M Sales Rep, Craig Glasheen (twin brother to Jack) to sit in it. Craig is 6' 4" tall and still has room in the chair.

The new AMATO office chair is superb. I came back to this chair three times because I couldn't get over how well it sits. The best office chair I have ever sat in, bar none. I didn't order one, because I don't get much demand for office chairs except as a special order but I can tell you honestly that its as good as office chairs get. I will order one for my desk at home in the near future....

These are the last of the H&M photos. In the next couple of days I'll put up the Jessica Charles, Councill and Taylor King shots.

Duane - Love all these photos! Thanks for taking them and posting them. I'm still shopping/looking for upholstery pieces (2 sofas, 2 chairs). Did you happen to take any upholstery photos?

Yes I did - in the other maker's lines. Takes several hours to post them all (four hours to post what you've seen so far), but check back here and over the next few days I will put them up. Most will be general room settings with tag ID's however. I simply don't have the time to do them all in detail.
