Title: Judge This Chair (Real Chair)
Post by: Lord Undies on June 15, 2008, 03:42:41 PM
We need a new chair for a special spot in the living area.

What do you think of this chair?

Depends on what the rest of your furniture looks like.  Can you post a picture of your other furniture?

My house is sort of tasteful modern Addams Family style.  I have the framed vinyl records and such all over.  Odd pieces that match because they are odd.  Some antiques.  

I like this chair.  My wife could care less.  She pays absolutely no attention to any decor.  I could take down a wall and she wouldn't notice.  She is no help.

The really odd thing about this chair is it is $149.00 at Wal-Mart.

No good then, Demonic Underwear.

The chair would clash with the rest of the room.

Better luck picking out some other style, sir.

I think it would tie in with the other colors, especially the window treatments.

But it might not match with that beautiful green and white comforter. Was that a wedding gift?

Just photoshop the chair into the other picture, then we will know for sure!

BTW, I like the picture on the wall. 

It's a 1970's original.  I saved it from the dumpster during an office building remodel a few years ago. 

The Lord's Supper (on the other wall) is over 100 years old.  The photo below that is off my aunt and uncle (aunt died before I was born).  It is one of those hand colored photos they use to do back in the 1940's.  The frame it is in is over 100 years old.  It has the original beveled glass.  I've been offered $300.00 for that frame.

Demonic Underwear obviously, at least subconsciously, prefers the metallic-and-overpadded look.

This chair would not do at all.  Not at all.

I love older kistchy items.  I'm about to get a set of giant wooden fork & spoon, as well as an old rotary pay phone from my mom.   My dad gave me a clock that was his grandfathers that on the outside of the glass is women wearing dresses and inside they're wearing lingerie.

I had a couple of those photos with similiar frames that I lost in a house fire in 2003....but one picture of my grandfather as a child I still have....the frame was toast, the glass did not break and protected the photo....

GUEST ROOM! I used to have one of those.....it's now the wife's walk in closet. .....well....it was a walk in closet, it's now more of a "open the door and admire my junk" room.

You have to promise me that the cover came from a albino Bengal tiger.  Then, I say it goes anywhere.  If not, it looks like something from Gemco or Monkey Wards circa 1976.

I need a couple of rugs.   I hate hate hate my coffee table and end tables and I'm using this crappy end table I got from my mom to put my tv on.  I might go ahead and get some new furniture for my living room.

Those don't look too bad.  I found a desk I liked at Target a month or so ago, but I haven't bought it yet. 

About the desk - I have been looking at it for months trying to make up my mind.  It was on display in our local store and on the internet.  It was priced for $110.00.  I just could not make up my mind if I wanted to downsize.

Last week I decide it was a go!  We went to Wal-Mart.  There wasn't a damn desk in sight.  Nada.  In fact, it looked as if they were redoing the entire section.  I was distraught.  I didn't want to have to order it.  I want it NOW!

Then...destiny intervened.  My wife, who wouldn't know what I was looking for if it was tattooed on the back of her hand, found a desk on the bottom of a tall stack of boxes of furniture.  It was my desk!  The last one!

The desk was marked down for clearance.  It was $49.00.  I was a happy Wal-Mart shopper!

I love the way this chair sits but i was very upset with the beige color. The chair actually looks white in the picture and me thinking it was white painted a room in my house to coordinate with the colors. After getting the chair the colors didnt look right. So that no one else s deceived I think the colors should be listed to where the customers can see them.

I purchased two of these chairs for my Livingroom. They are truly beautiful. Easy instructions but took a little time to put together. I saw these chairs on another web site and they cost a lot more than the Walmart price. They look great flanking my fireplace. I give it 10 stars.

I rec'd an high back leather office chair for my birthday...without seeing it put together or sitting in it first, I decided on the much lower priced one at wal mart, compared to the furnature stores "sale sale sale"...heck one lady even followed me out to the car to lower her price....."pushy"  I said....

So my birthday present was less then $100 with tax...compared to 200 or 300 at the other places.....sure the other chairs might of been a little nicer, but I am not sitting in this eight hours a day either...

I looked for the picture but it's not on-line, it might of been a special purchase item. The website has allot of on-line only items that can be shipped to your local store for free! Check it out! www.walmart.com

I am like Undies....I like a good deal. Even if I am spending someone else's money!

The Mission style table/chairs and desk are in a separate room.  The rooms are divided by the kitchen area.  There is a slim thread of a theme throughout the house, but each room is unique in actual style.  When you finally get back to the guest room, it's a black and red bordello.
