You are the Master of your castle and your throne is a leather chair and ottoman and we at Restart Smart are weighing in with a report unlike you have ever read!

We will admit that a man’s throne is his favorite leather chair and ottoman. As you know we try to be fair and balanced and would have had our interior design expert do this report but we at Restart Smart understand that the Ladies in our life just don’t understand the emotional and physical ties (i.e.…the bonding) that occurs between a man and his leather chair and ottoman so instead we assigned our crack (he likes to be referred to as a reporter) staff member, Ace Essay, (not his real name) to investigate the mystery that is “leather chair, man and ottoman”.
His report follows…

Ace Essay here reporting semi-live from outside my favorite furniture store, much like the one you would find in any major city, minor city or small town. Walk into the place and inhale deeply, hold it, exhale slowly, Yes that is the smell of a leather chair and ottoman wafting across the showroom. A smell we men have cherished since….well a long time. Almost brings tears to my eyes.
When I was given this assignment to report on a leather chair and ottoman, I decided to investigate the history of this unique furniture combo and through extensive research (ok talking to a few guys standing around a hot dog kiosk) found out that it wasn’t until the seventeenth century that folks started to put padding on chairs. Much information has been lost through the passage of time on these pioneer “take a seat” makers however…..
It seems that one famous furniture maker (a mover and shaker in the padded seat market) named Otto suffered from a wife who snored so badly, the guy was always tired. He was in the process of hand crafting his third seat on this particular day (it was half finished) and he was having a problem keeping his eyes open so he propped his feet up on the before mentioned half finished seat and instantly fell asleep.
You guessed it the “Helga Foot Proper” was born as it was called because he loved his wife and wanted to honor her. Well it didn’t quite catch on and his friends complained that he was wasting his time and money making them. He refused to listen even though everyone kept saying “He can make a great leather chair, but that, Otto, man is he stubborn.”

Most of you are saying alright enough with the history let’s talk about the leather chair and ottoman. If you are like me (which I find hard to believe is possible) you are furnishing your bachelor pad and are considering the long lingering moments that you will be spending in a prone position engulfed in the comfort of your leather chair and ottoman. Or you are the kind who hates to make a commitment and you just want to check it out before you make a purchase.
So what makes a great leather chair and ottoman you might ask? First feel the softness yet the firmness of it’s’ lines. Go ahead touch it! Now lower yourself into it don’t worry you can’t hurt it (unless you have a sharp object sticking out of your back pocket). Notice how easily it moves beneath you allowing you to settle into your favorite position. This is not just another leather chair and ottoman….no! This is the one you have been looking for.
The one who will stay with you through sickness and health, through good times and bad, through every sports season and cooking show… (What?).
When purchasing your leather chair and ottoman buying a brand name is the way to go. Yes I know that the faux recliner with imported llama hide is much cheaper and looks great (but when wet the smell is a combination of wet dog and muck) so spend a little more and get the real thing.
I’m sure by now you have many questions as well as I (like I wonder if they will let me spend the night on this beautiful tan leather chair and ottoman) so let me suggest that you visit some of my sources, Yes I know it’s nice of me to share. After all we’re men and this is a manly quest we embark upon, the quest for “OUR” throne!
This is Ace Essay signing out for now (I have to they seem upset here at the furniture store. I mean anyone could have an accident and spill chips and salsa and I have no idea how that screwdriver got into my back pocket, the tear isn’t that large…Hey Guys just use duct tape…..)

We at Restart Smart promise you that “ACE” will resume his stock room duties once again. We’re sure he would have finished his report by letting you know that in life we deserve a few pleasures and one of those is kicking back in your leather chair and ottoman.
