I was also disappointed with the set. It was such a bold statement-bordello red high gloss-it seemed out of character for a man like Michael. He is so alarmed that his straight college chum will see his flamboyant friends when he drops by. What about his Auntie Mame styled apartment? I would think his apartment would be stylish but not draw too much attention to itself. Also, the interior stairway was so awkward, steep and too low, difficult to navigate even before Parsons fractured his foot, I should think.
