Samsung rest area at DFW

Our three leg table tour ran so smoothly, without a single hitch . . .  That is until I arrived back at DFW.  DFW is notorious for layover problems, primarily due to bad weather.  I'm a loyal American Airlines customer, have been since the late 80's and have flown thru DFW for years.  I've had layover's there, but with this 10 hour layover I just found this amazing little tip.

Samsung has a fairly private, very quiet, very comfy little lounge area with approx a dozen big, comfy leather recliners, each facing a crisp Samsung flat screen tv.  All you need to use it is ear phones.  Amazing that so many flights were delayed, thousands of folks were sleeping on the floor and in the little chairs all around, and this beautiful, clean, safe little piece of heaven had seating to spare.  This is one I hadn't heard about.  I don't think I'll forget it on the next layover in Dallas.

 

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
