This looks like someone flunked upholstery class, or didn't finish the job: link. |

That's awful! It says it's an antique. I didn't know "antique" equaled "unfinished".  |

What the eff? That thing looks like it sat in an abandoned flop house for about 30 years.

I'm trying to imagine how it feels to rest on burlap with bare arms and a tank top on a hot day, while the staples and tacks rip your shorts, or your legs.

Are you supposed to finish it yourself? That's just awful. I wonder if they have sold any of their antiques.

I'm sorry, I saw a few of napoleons chairs, IMO no way he would lower himself to sit on that chair. Not even now, lol

Wow. They're calling that an antique? Looks like something Napoleon himself didn't finish.

So are they selling multiple chairs, or is this one of a kind? It seems rather odd and since it's a catalog, there must be more than one.

I like how the book was left open beside it, like..... "Oh, I was going to finish this chair, but gosh, this book is just so good I can't stop reading to upholster."

I searched and found one in similar condition for 1400 +. A pair that were fished were 3600 . Not for me!

Ironic that the company is called "Soft Surroundings."

Lol looks like the chair I never finished reupholstering. Well not the same style but stripped it down to the burlap, dh decided to refinish the wood but somehow one leg will not crackle finish like the rest...I need to get him to finish before the second baby is born without this old rocking chair!

900 for a chair and then a lot of money to have it re-upholstered? I think I'll pass.

File this under "The uglier we make it, the more we can charge for it."  |

I was just going to reply like GypsyGirl. It's a "style" of furnishing. I think it's crazy. It looks interesting in it's own way. Not a pretty way. not a comfortable way. Interesting. I guess it's something you would go for if the look of the room is the most important thing.
And you liked the odd ugly thing in the room for "contrast."
