Score!




I found a new office chair today at Goodwill.  So you can all come visit me during office hours now.  This little find set me back $7.99, and goes for about $140 at Ikea. Now, that makes me totally horny.


Speaking of which, it did come pre-stained, and I am not going to speculate as to the nature of the stain.  I'm sending it straight to the lab, so I can be sure.  But the truth is, although it saves me the time and effort of staining it myself, it is a rather meager little stain, and I'm not completely satisfied that it will be sufficient for my needs.  I mean, it's barely noticeable, and when I stain something you notice, trust me.  Why go to the trouble otherwise?

I like it, anyway.  I can hear it crying out for a rubber plant to keep it company in its new corner, though.

    Very snazzy chair, Mike. If it came pre-stained, it probably isn't even a real stain. They just lured you in so you'd spend the big bucks.

    If I had known that vintage pre-stained mid-century furniture bought at Goodwill makes you go "schwing!", I would not have thrown out my old couch and instead sold it to you for $5. Plus - bonus - I have a history for all the stains too!
