(Just an FYI, Chicago is called 'The Windy City' not because of the actual wind, but because of the historic arrogance and pomposity of its government and officials... )

The desk is solid granite with a custom made "V" base. I have a leather sofa and loveseat, with a vintage coffee table where my creative team and staff meet. I'll take some better pics tomorrow.

It is windy, you are right. I think this was fresh in my mind because of the other thread 'Absurd things people ask about your city.' As soon as I say I'm from Chicago I am asked, "Is it really that windy?" Yes and no, but mostly no.
