Posted on | June 30, 2005 | Comments Off
I adore Archie’s Island Chairs! The delightful and colorful furniture is perfect for any backyard, garden, or porch. A set of Round Back Chairs would be splendid in my laid-back loft!
Archie’s furniture line includes various brightly colored lounge chairs, dining sets, and tables.
All the furniture is made of solid mahogany. Primed in alkyld enamel and finished with a marine enamel to give the furniture a shiny no-fade gloss.
The extra special wood and paint means Archie’s products don’t come cheap. The plus side: Your Round Back Chair ($450.00) will last a lifetime. I say, “Worth Every Penny!
Surf Blue, Mango, Bonfire are just a few of the 12 different colors that make Archie’s products so special. Explore Archie’s Island Chairs website to see all the different colors and furniture.

Royal Sari House, located on the corner of 29th Street and 5th Avenue,specialize in Kurtas, Tunics, Fabrics, and Sandals. I grabbed up a pair of purple sparkly shoes for just $18 as long as I paid cash!
Neeras Saree Palace on Lexington between 28th and 29th Street is situated in New York’s Murray Hill famous for Indian stores and restaurants. Neeras’s carries a large number of tunics in cotton and silk, oodles of bangles, and Saris. I got a dozen bangles in all different colors and patterns for just $12.00.
