Hmmm... sold after ~45 DOM, nice unit in nice building in nice part of city at nice price. A refreshing bit of sanity.

ellbee - directly under the Bay Bridge is a "nice part of city"? I like South Beach and lofts in general, but I have to agree with the posters comments about the noise and soot.

^^ $588/sf is a refreshing bit of sanity? Will it seem as sane when comparable prices drop to $450/sf? Hmmm...

I realize that this sort of design question gets asked all the time, but does anyone know where you can get a dining room set like that, with the chair with its back to us (and the one on the opposite side) TWICE as wide as a normal chair, while the other furniture pieces are perfectly in proportion.

That set with its 6 chairs would be perfect for a group of 8 people.

I sense that you are kidding tipster, but just in case you are not : those chairs are all the same size. The photographer was trying to make the space look bigger correcting for perspective. A side effect was to make the chairs look wide.

No! I'm shocked!

So I guess I'll have to look much more carefully at the listing photos to look for cues of distortion like impossibly wide chairs before I go to visit any space based on the listing photos, because I know that the rest of the space is likely to be distorted as well.

Thanks for your help MoD.
