October 2011 High Point Furniture Market Photos

Thanks Duane! Great pictures. Appreciate you taking the time to post them all.

Any new leathers you recommend from H&M?

I wasn't wild about most the new hides. Many were decorator-glitzy. There's a new natural series that is very nice, but it's a totally nude leather with no barrier protection to speak of,a bit iffy for most household family rooms.

I was just looking at your market photos for ideas for chairs and I happen to notice the LaCross sofa. It looks beautiful. Its a big one, right? How's the Duane comfort measure on the LaCross? I am driving my husband a little whacky sofa hunting, but its a big purchase and I want to get it as right as possible. What's your thoughts on the LaCross?

HA! That's almost a year ago - no way in the world I can recall what that LaCross sat like from that long ago! When I go to Market, I probably test sit 500 pieces in a 2-day period, and can usually recall them for about 3 days afterwards if I have a photo to remind me of what each one was like.

Okay, just as well. I am sticking with the curves. Looking forward to the burnished samples.
