My office has leather AllSteel chairs. I'm not sure which design, but they are absolutely fantastic.

Reply to I have two low pile/almost no pile area rugs and hardwood floors. I’m tired of vacuum cleaners that just stop working after a couple years. I do have pets. Anyone have any experience with carpet sweepers? And can you recommend a bifl one? by 1212gatez
My parents have a Miele that is over 20 years old and still works like a dream. I have a much cheaper Miele that I've had for 8 years now and it works amazingly well. Theirs was close to $1000 and mine was around $400, if you are looking for price info. We have a double-coated dog that sheds outrageously, all hardwood flooring, and a mix of low and high pile rugs throughout the house. I'd highly recommend a Miele. I've never had long term luck with a carpet sweeper.

I bought my husband some clearance t shirts from Banana Republic recently and they look to be fantastic quality. Natural fibers (100% pima cotton), great stitching, thick but not too thick. They look like they'll hold up really well.

Reply to Zojirushi SM-KHE48. Used daily for 6 years. Retains heat better than a Yeti, fewer $$$. by home_cheese
I have three of these. One time I made tea and brought it to work and forgot about it. 12 hours later, when I remembered it, my tea was too hot to drink.
I've had multiple baristas take pictures of them because they were the only mugs they have ever poured coffee into and couldn't feel the heat coming through.
I love these things, and I've also had mine for years.

I've only had my bean boots for about 5 years, but I wear them constantly during fall/winter/spring and they still look and feel brand new.

Reply to looking for a double walled insulated kids water bottle that doesn't leak by MonalisaMakeupMomma
Dang. Both my kids have those Yetis. They are used constantly, all day long every day (we even joke about them being their emotional support water bottles) and have been for 3+ years and we haven't had a single leak. They've gotten pretty beat up over time, but no leaking.
Maybe Pottery Barn? I know some people whose kids really like those ones.
