Thanks, Leon. No cushions because you really aren't meant to sit there. Thanks for mentioning that point because I had forgotten it (I see this daily and had just got used to it, I guess). But given the chairs are not functional, what are they there for? For tone, I suppose, or someone's idea of it. It's hard to overcome that fire alatm, though.

Thanks, William, and the same to you.

What a contrast between ornate and minimalist!
