Elvis' dad, Vernon, came home one day and told the gang, "Man, I've just seen the ugliest furniture in the world." Which made Elvis say, "Hey, I've gotta see that!" So his Dad told him what store had it, and he and the Memphis Mafia all bopped down to check it out. Elvis came home having bought the whole suite! There are a few variations on this story in this thread here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20721&forum=1 Allegedly the semi-round chair with the fur on it was Lisa Marie's favorite when she was little. The GRACELAND pop-up book is awesome and is always on our coffee table. It is a terrific gift for anyone you know who digs the King.
