My sister likes to tease me about the time I bought a laptop off the back of a truck. I did not really buy a laptop off the back of a truck, I bought it at Aldi's, though the difference between the two may be negligible. The laptop broke a week after I got it.
Today I really did buy this leather recliner off the back of a truck. We were sitting at home minding our own business when a couple of guys knocked on the door and said, well, that they were selling furniture out of a truck, would we like to see any? They were from a furniture company and had a police permit (hopefully legit!) They had pictures of all the furniture they had on the truck so you could see what they had without them having to unload everything. Joel had them bring some recliners off the truck since we had been planning to get one for our bedroom. We ended up buying one, as did one of our neighbors. After they left Joel prompty called a local furniture store who carried the same chair in stock, and was happy to find out that it sold for $300 more than what we paid for it. And of course, no delivery charge ;) How's that for service, bringing the furniture show room right to your door...

I must say I am very skeptical -- remember our leather chair & ottoman that we got on the cheap and the legs of the ottoman broke clean off less than a year after we got it... And that was Bobs Discoutn Furniture, not even off the back of a truck. I will be waiting to hear that you pulled the lever to recline and ended up on the floor :)
looks comfy!
