I ahve always wanted a george nelson bench, and my husband bought me one for Christmas. The kids were on Christmas break from school, and they were getting very restless. They can only be away from school for so long before they begin to miss their friends and want to return to school to see them. My sons were wrestling around in the foyer, and they broke my nelson bench. I was so upset. I only had it for three days before it was broken. I waited many years to get one, and it was ruined in such a short period of time.
