And more importantly it probably silenced a few of those voices telling you I am after your guru personally. If not, then maybe it sent a message to his devoted flock not to torture me for being an infidel.

You are welcome and might I say that anyone who follows your guru deserves exactly what they get.

Very cool. Modular? If we had the right space for it, we would have strongly considered a similar configuration.

It's interesting that so many of us interested in classic clothes prefer modern furniture.

It isn't meant to be in a corner. It is designed to be in the middle of a room.

There is an old saying, don't argue with idiots, as they will drag you down to their idiot level and beat you with experience. Just saying.

Not handy...the long side of the sofa would be agains a bank of three 6x3" casement windows, facing a walkout balcony, and three 6x2" casement windows behind. These area is under a 30" pyramidal vault ceiling, and there's a square bay ocular above the 6x3" casements. It's got a lot of natural light.
