Well i need to add this to the mix
In my Pole barn which is also my Upholstery shop my Furniture in the showroom for looking at Fabric books and samples of boat top is a 85 vanagon center
seat with arm rests and a chair that is a single center seat out of a 85 westi. There is also a small coffee table to lay the books on and 1 end table. makes
for a  nice small lounge since space is a concern. They are small and very comfy to look at samples, Pics of work ive done etc. No one has yet to complain.
I had a love seat and a chair in there but it was just to big for the " show room".  My wife would shoot me if i used it in the house though.
Just thought i would share.
