Oh yes, one of those aspirational lifestyle things where we are supposed to buy the house 'cos we want the life they are indicating....so do I want a life where looking at sticks warrants special furniture? Hmmm I'll get back to you on that one.

Sara,
In this sentence, "then" should be "than". That's such a common mistake, but not seeing grammatical errors on this blog (which ROCKS! by the way) I thought I'd bring it to your attention :)
OH MY GOSH...This is about the 5th or 6th one I've looked at and they all are making me laugh! What is wrong with these people. But this chair one may be my favorite...of course I'm not done yet!

"We have a wonderful view of the woods out back! And look, we even included a chair, so you can sit out back and enjoy the view!"
Though the purpose of the pile of sticks continues to elude my understanding. What on earth is it for?

"...contemplating its morality."
God, I love this blog. That made me snort. Thanks.

Or maybe it's habitat, for hedgehogs.

I like the think the chair is working very hard on getting the sticks to burst into flames, using only the power of its mind.

Gah. I like to think, but not to preview...

Looks like a fantastic place to relax and write one's Manifesto. How far is the post office?

It's the 'secret life of furniture' posts that I love best on your blog.

I have to say, this is the BEST blog EVER!
It guarantees better laughs than reading newspaper comic strips. Thank you!

They've obviously planned ahead. Later, when you've got a nice bonfire going, you can sit on the chair and roast your marshmallow. What's the problem?
Even us loners, who have no other chairs or friends, like to roast marshmallows.

How about the frightening "bedroom" pictures? A collapsible cot covered in plywood with a fan nearby? With plastic-covered walls? Nightmarish! -dq

Who knew that chairs had such deep seated thoughts and beliefs. Loved this one, thank you.

Fixed! And thank you.

I agree with dq, the bedroom is frightening! It reminds me of the way Dexter prepares a room when he's at work! *Shiver*

I love this picture!

Og god, it's the Blair Witch Chair.

Perhaps, it's a future bon-fire?

Perhaps it's a wayward chair?

I laughed until I could feel the blood pounding through my ears. Thank you so much for the entertainment your blog brings.
What else could be a better treat for a chronic insomniac at 3.30am in the morning.
