Physically I have no argument with you - but the people there make the difference for me - folks like Billy and Lisa that know me on sight and can make even the most difficult situations go away are worth way more than "proper food and furniture" to me.... I've been in the best F lounges in the world - heck, EK picks me up in a limo whenever I fly them on both sides - and although I can't disagree with you that the UA GFL lounges aren't up to world class F standards - I think the ORD GFL people make up for it!
