Author Chair in Burnished Hyde Park Mocha

[Miles77]

Hi Duane and Sarah,

I received the Author chair with its ottoman today and was immediately impressed with how tight and well-built it is. I'm 5ft 11in/220 lbs. and the Author chair is the perfect size for me. It's a bit stiffer than I imagined and I like the support. It's an armchair that puts you at just the right position to read or surf the web. The Hyde Park Mocha burnished finish is beautiful. We have a September sofa with Document Copper which is a protected, painted leather. The Hyde Park Mocha is a step above the Document. It feels like real leather; like a good baseball glove. Some people have complained about the squeakiness of the leather. I don't notice it at all. The Ultra down seat feels just right for the chair too.

The buying experience was excellent, thanks to Sarah. She made the whole process easy and comfortable. I had originally ordered the Doyle sofa in Tilton Moose, but realized that I needed a good reading chair instead. She was able to cancel the order for the Doyle and prepare the order for the Author chair without any issues. I changed my order quickly before any work had started on the Doyle sofa.

So this is the fifth piece of furniture from the Keeping Room; a September sofa, a Tresanton bench, an Author's chair, a matching ottoman and a Bradington Young Alta recliner. I do notice that the Hancock & Moore is built with more attention to detail. On the card with the registration number, all the people in the plant who worked on this Author's chair signed off. They clearly take pride in their work and it shows.
