My Mom would say “Let’s go sit soft.”  She would announce this after a meal and everyone was lingering around the table. It was time to get comfortable. I kind of love this.

PRAISE FOR COBANI BLEU

Etsy Customer, Lisa had this to say:   
Over the top pleased with the quality and attention to detail. The photos were excellent but seeing the chair in person was even better than expected. One word to describe it “Magnificent”. Nancy, was such a pleasure to work with responds quickly to questions. One of my favorite shops cannot wait to find more hidden treasures.

Nancy is a real professional when it comes to quality and detail. The photos were excellent but seeing the chair in person was even better than expected.
