A miracle has happened over at DBD. We finally got an actual office chair. And not only does it work beautifully, is comfortable, and realistic...its also great looking!! Lets go through some of the chairs I have claimed over the years as my office chair:
For my first 'office chair' I used one of our old grey dining room chairs. Crazy looking back at how much our dining room has changed:
In this photo, both the green chair and the tan one in the corner have been my office chairs at some point
And now for my favorite box ever to arrive at our house...Oh how I love my Overstock.com!
I assembled this chair is approximately 10 minutes. Yes people, this is Adri talking, not J. Yes, I am capable of assembling a piece of furniture {lets just ignore the fact that this chair only had about 4 steps!} Here is our new beauty!!
Its a Overstock knock off of the stunning Eames Management chair, and a cheaper version of Crate and Barrels knock off. Now a days there are about a million and one companies that replicate Eames chairs, and I understand why. The Eames chair goes for anywhere around $600-$1,000. The C&B chair goes for $300. Our chair...a whopping $180! And it has amazing reviews, which I always love because that helps me make up my mind 90% of the time!
I am already in heaven now sitting at the desk, and it makes me stay here longer, which I can't decide if its a good thing. I will just pretend that my hours of looking at other blogs and Pinterest are research, which makes it sound official and important;)
Do you guys like the chair? We even moved stuff around {in and out as well} because the chair gave the office a new feel that we wanted to go with!
<3,
I LOVE that chair! I looked at the same exact one on their site! So cool!
ReplyDeleteVery,very stylish. I am currently sitting on a faux brown leather swivel chari from Walmart. Yes. I said it. For along time I had a chippy painted wooden didning chair, that was fine by me (it looked a LOT better than the thing I am sitting on) but no, it wasn't all that expecially comfy, and husband wanted a "real" desk chair, Hence his trip to Walmart, all by himself. Woe Betide! Dear oh dear. But after umpteenintey years of marriage some things are just not worth making a fuss over. He is happy with the darn chair.
ReplyDeleteYour chair, however, reminds me that there are attractive and lovely "real office chairs" out there though . . .and I TRY not to think about that!:)
The chair looks great and I am sure is comfy. I have just noticed that you have the same fabulous floor lamp with the black-and-white shade from Target that I do, in my study. My walls are still green, a darker shade though. Will post it some day.
ReplyDeleteBri- get it, its amazing!
ReplyDeleteLouise-haha you crack me up!! Some things arent worth it, your right. But do keep in mind, that chair could 'accidently' get a cut in it and need to be replaced..bummer;) I kid, I kid!
Lisa-Fun! Do post!
