Peterowin, the wood grain is beautiful on yours, and the shape of the knob, and the beautiful inlaid leaves - I love it. Pariate, I am so happy you mastered the photo uploading procedure to share your gorgeous rocker - the blue and the silver together are just stunning! Gehaha, I wish I could see photos of yours too. Beautiful photography too - I love that red leather one of Shangas'!
