Sit down -- you're among friends

Sit down -- you'reamong friends
Friends don't let friends design recliners. Otherwise, fans might get the impression that their favorite stars on their favorite sitcom had better stick to acting.
Starting Monday through May 22, six custom one-of-a-kind recliners for La-Z-Boy designed by (or at least named for) NBC's longtime "Friends" will be up for auction on eBay. The chairs supposedly reflect the personality of their onstage characters.
Matt LeBlanc's extra-wide black leather model is perfect for serious lounging. Lisa Kudrow's argyle-patterned recliner with hand stitching recalls Phoebe's kooky fashion sense.
But why does the chair designed for David Schwimmer as Ross in white, yellow, orange and teal leather look like an exploded beach ball?
And the two wide arcs on Jennifer Aniston's model, named for tiny Rachel, make the chair so big it would take up most of a New York apartment.
Starting bids for each chair will be $500. The event is co-sponsored by In Style magazine, and proceeds will go to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
