I reckon every home that has a man probably needs a manly chair. Ours has been without one ever since we split up with my brother. (We lived with him for two years.) Of course, this hasn't gone unnoticed by well-meaning folks on crusades to stand up for my husband's manliness over his lair. I've bore the frustration of passive aggressive comments from people who don't realize that Phil really loves how I decorate our home. I do consult him before making small changes, and the only time he's weighed in with a disagreeing comment is when I wanted to paint our hallway pink.
So, when I stumbled on this chair at a local antique mall, I knew that it had to be Phil's. This guy who doesn't mind doilies and needlepoint flowers finally has a man-chair all of his own. And as of yet, we haven't fought over who gets dibs. :)
Hahaha! This is great. I love how it fits perfectly into your aesthetic. xo, rv

My boyfriend has an Ugly Chair. He even admits that it's ugly. It's grandad shaped and floral and not in a good way and it has a bit of an odour about it that he claims that he can't smell. But it was the compromise for having him live with me; he'd move in but the Ugly Chair had to come with him.

haha I'm so happy my bf doesn't mind how I decorate our home either. He actually likes most of it so I pretty much get free reign. I love it!

What a great find! There is no man in my house except my dog but I wouldn't mind having a comfy chair like that!

Great chair! I wish I had more freedom. Every time I turn around my boyfriend has printed some poster out- the place looks like a dorm room!

Man chair of my dreeeeeeeeeeams! My husband has a horrible horrible blue "lady lazy boy" reciner from the late 80s. He can't part with it and it is seriously cramping my style and it isnt even comfortable anymore! HAHA! I wish I could just drag it to the yard and set it on fire....
