I tried searching for an old thread but this was my first hit:

"gay bars a good place to pickup chicks or not"

So, I'm thinking that a new thread is required here.

I am looking for a nice armchair for my smallish 1-BR apartment that has a small footprint - meaning it doesn't take up too much space.

I keep seeing these on the IKEA website:



However, the price makes me think that they are just really flimsly and will fall apart in less than a year.

Is there anyone else out there who makes things along this line but with better materials? I would love to have one whose underlying frame was sturdy metal if it was comfortable and I would be willing to pay a premium.

I guess what I am really asking is if there is anyone out there who makes furniture for the market between IKEA pressed cardboard and super high end luxury brands.
