@tablejockey the matching foot rest was included in the giveaway. This truly is a score of a lifetime.
I won the stressless lottery
My mom had gotten a settlement that allows her to spend her final days in a nice retirement community. I had gone up to go see her and do some chores for her as I was helping her in her car so that she could go do some labs at the doctors office An elderly lady pointed out to some workers that were emptying an apartment why was she getting rid of such a nice coffee table. It was then when I looked up into the truck, that I noticed what I assumed was a knock off. It looked in really good condition, jammed up against some other stuff. I asked the young gentleman if he wouldn’t mind if he would let me have it and he said sure why not. As he’s handing it to me, he asked, do you want the ottoman that apparently comes with it? I said sure why not try not to let people know my excitement of what I may have possibly had found. Still not sure as all the tags had been cut off someone was gonna go to jail over this lol. I finally get it loaded into the Ford and finally see the stressless mark on the tightn knob. Getting it home and setting it up I don’t believe it was used 10 times and getting a stressless was going to be an end game down the road acquisition. To this day, it completely blows me away at what I have been able to build and have this come my way. It’s just some serious nice icing on top of that beautiful cake. What blessings are out there. Thank you so much for listening to me brag. And yes, I’m here to tell you that leather sounds so much better and I’ll argue with all the deniers out there have a wonderful listening day everyone!

@tvrgeek I ordered some stuff from Amazon will definitely keep this up like I had a whole bunch of maids whose specific task is taking care of leather furniture. Ordered a product called hidebracer leather cleaner and conditioner, if anyone out there has another suggestion, I would gladly hear their thoughts on that. I would’ve happily paid full price for this chair! This is an amazing piece of engineering! |
@notnow0329 Thanks for the offer to help, I have been able to determine that it is a Peace model with the signature base. I believe it is the Paloma blue leather. It took me like two hours on Google to find it because it’s not on the current stressless website. Found it on vitality web.com. |
Wow, I just spent $67 on this white elephant. Getting beeswax, Flitz metal polish, and Hidebracer leather conditioner. Plus a T-30 torx wrench to take apart for maintenance. Definitely going to upkeep it as this is a beautiful 🤩 thing. What got me onto the metal polish thing was there was a scratch on the bottom of the finger rest area, from the movers shoving it into the truck. Borrowed some Flitz from my neighbor and that worked so well that I realized I needed to do the whole chair 🪑. So later this week when Amazon shows up, baby’s going to have a spa party 🎊. Thanks for the kind words from all of you. I enjoy this space, one of my daily refuge. |
