Come sale away: a cute $50 chair

For me, buying furniture requires a lot of angst and commitment. Instead of assuming that I may use a chair for only two or three years, I size up furnishings as if they are adoptees. Will I always love this chair and never scream at it? Can I see this couch taking care of me when I am old and need to nap all day? (I certainly don’t apply such faulty reasoning to a $500 pair of shoes.)

This charming, upbeat chair from Urban Outfitters allays all of my worries of our future together by selling for a mere $50. That’s, like, 10 grande lattes. (It was originally $200 and there are other patterns available.)

I love the retro pattern and the zaftig style. Is anyone else tired of crisp, sleek lines in furniture? Would you want to take a seat in a skinny lap? Not me.
