My daughter has worked and saved and has done it- she started her own business! It has really taken off, and we are so proud of her. As a gift, we told her we would help her buy furniture for her new office- she had painted and redecorated all the rooms but her own personal space. She was so excited, and asked me to come and help her pick things out- she has a very modern sensibility, and wanted to make sure she was picking things that would work for several years. So we found the perfect desk, but then we needed a chair to go with it. All the modern ones she picked were uncomfortable and all of the comfortable ones I picked were too old-fashioned. That is why we picked Bertoia Chairs. It is very modern and sleek, so it looks perfect with her new glass-topped desk, and even though it does not exactly look like it, it is extremely comfortable. The seat is so comfortable, and the she claims the back of the chair conforms perfectly to her spine. I admit I was doubtful, but we took it anyway, and it was ideal- the appearance, the proportions, the comfort level, everything. It looked like it was made for that office. Now she wants to buy all new chairs for her conference room!
