Big Country Coffee

I first traveled out west in the 60's. I told my parents I wanted to see oil wells and real cowboys. Little did I know that Roy Rogers and Gene Autry didn't really live in New Mexico or Texas or Kansas. But, what's a kid to think, after all, television was real. Those weren't just westerns, they were documentaries, right? Well, anyway, we stopped by San Antonio and looked in on the Alamo. The Western furniture influenced by the Mexican craftsman had created a new look and it was everywhere. At the tender age of 8, it pretty much escaped me that the furniture I was sitting near would create such a stir in the world of design. But, the world certainly took notice. Whether it's called Western, Santa Fe or Country, the style of this Big Country Coffee Leg has stood the test of time.
