How much is too much for a chair

[Shaggy]

Hello people, not VW related but i gave up caring about that a long time ago.
So here is the story for well over a year i have been trying to find this chair called the Red and Blue chair is was designed by a guy called Gerrit Rietveld in about 1917 now i have found a company that is selling it but it costs £579 not including postage but not sure how much that costs.

looks like one of those york weight lifting benches! :shock:
not for me dude but what ever floats your boats :wink:

 

[Shaggy]

hahaha....you know what it does a bit, well least while sitting in it i can lift some weights

 

[BigG]

Didnt they use them for executing people. :shock:

 

[Shaggy]

hahaha....ok stop mocking the poor chair, its still cool

It would only take a bit of old kitchen worktop and a length of 1" square to make your own.

Looks simple enough - I'll knock you one up for £400!

£4.99 and you got yourself a deal

If that's your thing then why not.

£600 for a quality piece of furniture is fair enough I would have thought.

You could spend as much on some peice of stapled together chip board puffy crap from DFS sofa's, or buy a design classic which will probably outlive you. Pays your money takes your choice, know which I'd have.

(needs a cushion for tv dinners though )

Come off it - the parts alone will cost £2.74!

 

[Shaggy]

£6.98 and thats my last offer

No deal - time to get your cheque book out and go for the real thing, cheapskate!!!

Glad my sarcasm was useful - sounds like a good plan to me!

old style or genuine retro funiture rocks. ive spent the last year rebuilding loads of it for our flat.
bit of an expert with the old fiftys stuff now :lol:

 

[Shaggy]

yeah it does I can't wait to move so i have some room to start putting some of it in

For an iconic piece of art which to honest is what it is in effect I think its money well spent......

 

[easy]

make the chair yourself dude and by me some delux bumper trim with the change :wink:

 

[Araon]

Shaggy your kinda looking like some sexy freak beast at the minute :lol:

 

[Shaggy]
