Since it is the holidays, I was wondering if the MIL ever paid for the chair.
The reupholstered chair was so cute in the red plaid fabric and I am wondering if MIL used it in her Holiday card this year! Will you be visiting your MIL? I so want her to do what she said and give you money for all that you put into making the chair so cute! |

Yeah, that chair would go great in my living room right now with Christmas decorations up.

Last I heard, they didn't. And every time that thread gets popped up, I get more pissed off at the OP's husband than ever. I still think he should grow a big brass pair.

There was an update.
What I remember is OP's husband told his dad what the reupholstering cost and - down the line - the dad sent a check for a smaller amount (maybe a couple hundred dollars less?).
It's funny how many of us are so invested in this damn chair.

Now we need the requisite badge. Maybe a virtual rally... |

Of all of the threads I have read, this one keeps coming back to haunt me. Why? Why? You give the chair away, you don't get it back. I am sure family dynamics were a huge part of it.

It's kind of like the MIL is Lucy, the football is the chair, and the husband is Charlie Brown. Who keeps going back for more.

It's funny how many of us are so invested in this damn chair. That is what I remember as well, they were paid $400, told the parents it was more like $600, and there was a promise a second check would be sent. I'm wondering if the chair ever made it to MILs house, or if is still at SILs? |

Boy family drama really pulls me in  |

Well I hope the OP is at peace with the whole thing, because I am still mad about that chair! Seeing this thread made me miffed all over again.   |

Ok....chair? I missed the whole thread. From the descriptions that you've shared it does sound cute.
