Nice going, Ciel...you made good use of your time in the PNW!

But what the heck is this. I don't understand "Recamier," I guess. Looks about as comfortable as laying on a bed of spikes!

Whoah, is that a great bench!

That was quick! ;-)
I can imagine a few more comfortable Récamiers though! ;-)

I made up this “Récamier” thing when I saw the bench...

@VP, it was a perfect name. The image seems to get stranger as time passes:
