Mr. Allen's passion for width is no reflection on its own width. but merely expresses his desire for comfort. "I like a chair a Dian can relax and be at ease in." he said.

But they're not the sort of thing you would want to have at home, although I have seen actors walk off with whole sets of wood panelling."
