Whoever chose those chairs for the poker room never sat at a poker table before. There is a bar running between the two front legs that prevents your legs from being placed up under the chair. There is a railing around the bottom of the poker table that prevents your legs from going up under the table. So you either sit for hours with your feet planted directly in front of the chair (with perhaps 2 inches of wiggle room) or you put them on either side of the chair...which annoys your neighbor. And don't try to lean back...even a little bit. I have seen two players fall over backwards. I can see a law suit in the future as a result of that chairs design...causing it to easily fall over backwards.
If you are going to open a poker room and spend that much money on furniture, why not go to Vegas and visit one of the well run, popular poker rooms....Like Resorts World or South Point...Sit in their luxury seats and see what players like. Its almost impossible for me to sit at Valley River poker room for more than one hour.
