At Bograd’s furniture showroom (www.bograds.com) in Riverdale, there is one chair that you need to test drive. When you sit in it, you’ll understand why.
The retailer, known for quality, traditional lines, has set aside a corner of its vast store for a futuristic-looking cluster of leather chairs with built-in massage features, and a flat screen display to tout the product. Made in Spain, and shipped to only a few select retailers, these Keyton massage chairs (www.keyton.com) are not just vibrators for your back and butt. They remember your shape. They embrace you. Sink in, press your remote control, and these chairs scan your body. The massage is customized for you. Even for your head and neck. Close your eyes. Leather-bound fingers are kneading, rolling, or tapping. Then, pick the kind of massage you want. There’s shiatsu massage, an anti-cellulite treatment for your legs, or a lumbar rub that targets your lower back. And lots more. Marcia Bograd, the store’s leading lady, took a load off her feet and demonstrated the chair. She showed us a variety of leathers and microfiber covers. Hint: Pick the lavender, yellow and orange, and maybe you’ll keep the guys off your chair. There are basic browns and blacks if you decide you want to share. Better still, buy two, and rumble along, side by side! You can pay nearly five grand for the top of the line, with all the bells and whistles. But heck, it’s not just a chair, it’s an adventure.
