Ok so I think we are set on getting two Ghent's in Burnished. I have never seen HP earth in person but just about every picture on the forum is beautiful. I think it would help to lighten up the overall mood of our room given the floors are still quite dark even with the white rug. I have seen HP brownie burnished in person several times and loved it.

1. Will the HP brownie burnished look strange next to the HP earth?....don't really want to get them in the same color but should we reconsider that?
2. Based on the height advice, I would need a tall and my wife a standard Ghent recliner. Will that look strange looking at the back of the recliners as there is a 3 inch height difference?
3. Finally, we sat in a Ghent with the ultra down back and seat cores....I didn't know you could do that on a recliner...I feel like I read somewhere on the forum that getting down in a split back piece is a no no due to risk of sagging or something like that....is that true or am I misremembering?

thanks Duane!
