They are on display and available at Koehnen's in Hilo. A local friend warned that they saved a ton of $$ buying theirs at CS Wo on Oahu. To cut to the chase, what Koehnen said I could have the same chair without taxes or delivery was $500 more than I paid for same chair, a table and shipping from link below:

I initially dealt with them via email and once I had the numbers, completed the deal over the phone.
BTW I also dealt openly with Koehnens, even sharing the numbers with them in hopes they'd make an effort to keep my business local - didn't happen

Thanks for the link, David.
I could kick myself. we sold both of our stressless recliners for $200 in our moving sale before coming to Puna because we understood from all kinds of good sources that leather is not a good material to have here in Puna. Now I really miss both the stressless recliners.
Moving sales are the greatest for bargains.
