I recently purchased a gorgeous leather chaise lounge in a rich shade of chocolate-brown at Rubin's and had a great experience.
I had first entertained the idea of purchasing said chair a few months ago and went in to see their selection. Prior to going in, I had found a 10% off coupon in the Reader, so the incentive to purchase from Rubin's rose proportionately.
They had a vast selection of modern contemporary furniture on 2 levels. I had a hard time deciding exactly what to select, but after perusing the inventory, I made up my mind.
The salespeople were very friendly and helpful, and not at all pushy. The particular chaise I ordered wasn't in stock and had to be ordered from their warehouse in Madison, WI and would take approximately 8 weeks. I was disappointed to have to wait so long, but good things come to those who wait.
I got my chair about 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It's comfortable as well as stylish.
Can a piece of furniture be sexy? Absolutely. And I just ordered a second chair.
