Doesn’t look very comfortable…but for $40 bucks you did o.k. ... I would prefer a lazy-boy recliner, but as an office chair it is O.K. . Good thing that you vacuumed the judge cooties off it.

It’s comfortable! Kind of short, but maybe that’s a good thing. We’ll see.

Is that really plastic covering on the desk? Do your wrists or forearms stick to it when you are typing?

Yes. The table is vintage. I want to protect it. No, they don’t stick.

It is dirty.

I told you since that pic I vacuumed and polished it, Raggy.

Mr Swivel & Mrs Arm had sex, here’s the result, freaky chair

@Dutchess_III Are we going to have to hold an intervention about the plastic on your desk? Please take off the plastic and use your furniture as furniture. Please. There is nothing worth protecting if you will only ever see and feel it through a plastic film. Live for today.

All I have for you on the chair is that I would call it a swivel wing chair or some variant on that.

It dates to at least to the 1920’s and was built as a dining room table, not for a work table. When I used it as a dining room table, I would take the precaution of at least putting down place mats for light meals, and whole table clothes for big meals. Other than that, it wouldn’t be used and I could let the wood shine through. I wouldn’t be piling stuff up on it, like printers, towers, cameras, phones, pencil sharpeners, drinks that sweat, moitors and just various and sundry stuff.
I do need to pull everything off, pull off the plastic because there were some spots that I guess I didn’t get cleaned on the table itself when I put the plastic on. One of those things I just haven’t gotten around to yet.

When I do that, I’ll send ya’ll a pic of the beautiful bare naked table. Then you might understand my desire to protect it until I have to opportunity to use it as a show piece dining table again. :D I have a buffet to go with it. They sold them as a set, although I’m pretty sure they weren’t an actual set. In fact, I’m sure of it, but they’re both lovely and compatible enough to work.

@Dutchess_III Oh all right. <sulks in corner>

LOL! You have 5 minutes time out @dappled_leaves!

I would like to give a huge shout out to my intervention group! You lit a fire under my behinney to actually get the table cleaned up. It was a LOT of work, as I knew it would be. First I had to pull the table out from the wall so I could get all around it. I had planned to move everything onto the floor, but I quickly realized that really wasn’t feasible, so I had to shove the CPU and printer and the monitor to the left and do the right side, and again to the right to do the left side. I’M BEAT!! But..my back doesn’t hurt!! I’m astonished.

And now! The top 3 reasons I keep it under plastic:

One

Two

Three

The End!
