Reply to comment by your_Assholiness in Fresh from Norway, my custom Ekornes Stressless chair by Gerbski

This was ~$3200. Ordered late November, arrived late January. Definitely some used available out there on fb for cheaper but color or style isn’t always ideal, they last for decades though.

I’ve been waiting on my stressless couch since July of last year, now hearing it’s gonna be until March April probably. So annoyed.
That chair looks incredible. They’re so comfortable.

We have a Stressless couch and it’s wonderful. Was a floor model and we got it for like 60% off. Floor model during Covid Lockdown here in Germany. So…basically it was new. I also got them to throw in a David Bowie throw pillow.

This is the Opal line? We get those for around $1500 in Norway.

I live across the fjord from Sykkylven where Ekornes is based and let me tell you, no one in Sykkylven knows the real price of furnitures. Traditionally Sykkylven has been a furniture power house with several furniture makers. I think theres around 5 left now, Ekornes the biggest among them. Aaanyway, everyone either works with furniture or knows someone that works with furniture, so everyone gets employee prices on furniture. Every house has top notch sofas, recliners, beds, tables and so on.

Is there anywhere you can try these out in person before ordering?

There are dealers in many major cities in the US, the one in my town has about 15 floor models in various configurations to sit in.

Do they actually last decades? I usually wear jeans, most of my upholstered office chairs end up fading.

Yeah, because they're uncomfortable, so nobody wants to sit in it for too long. :(
