Quote - Unfortunately I couldn't get the hang of it. I had to add one specular only light. Not satisfied with it.

Love that chair.  Yes, the regular poser lights often times, especially when using IDL, cast an unrealistic highlight that kind of ruins the realism achieved throuh the lighting itself.  Using objects like square planes as the source of reflection highlights solves this problem.  Definitely a time killer, so if you don't care that much about realism, it wouldn't be worth the extra processing, but if you're a fanatic about realism, like me and some others here, then it's worth it.  Your render is looking great.  I really think it's just the specularity that is causing it not to live up to your expectations.
