My New Chair

Yesterday I went to the thrift store to see what they had for furniture since my living room will be basically bare except for end tables when I move. I didn't expect to find anything of value. I was wrong. As you can see in the photo, I found a gem. This chair is so comfortable and lightweight I just had to have it. I know I'm in the middle of getting this move underway, packing and everything, so having one more piece of furniture is not always a good idea just before a move. However, it was a gotta have it moment. When I called my friend I haven't seen or talked to in a long time, because I haven't been able to get a hold of her and always forgot to go through FB, I saw her there this morning, and called her. She has a truck and said 'No problem.' When we finally had it in the kitchen I had her sit in it and her face said it all. She knew why that chair is mine. Now if I can find one like it when I move, it will be great. Then I'll have two chairs for the living room and I won't need a couch. Doesn't it look inviting? And it comes with a footrest that has a hidden compartment, something I found out when we went to pick it up. I hope your day is going well. Hot as a blister out there, but it's a great day. Thanks for reading.

Thank you. So comfy too. I bet I end up hanging my legs over the arms like I did as a kid

@Jessicalynnt I sat in it this morning for a bit and realized there is no way for me to hang my legs over the arms, however the footstool is so comfortable, it makes up for it. Now I just need a good book to get lost in it and I have two I'm reading right now.

No, not a recliner, just a nice arm chair that's super comfortable. Here's another picture I took of it.

That was a really good find for you and I am glad you were able to have it moved. The best part is the footrest with the hidden compartment. Have a good sitting day.

@Marcyaz It will be the perfect place to sit and watch television in my new apartment. And there's no struggle getting out of the chair.

And getting hotter. I heard tonight we're getting up to a whopping 106 F degrees on Friday. I'm not looking forward to that. The chair is very comfortable.

It does look very comfortable. Sometimes, it can't hurt to purchase something that we could use and really would like. The timing may not have been perfect, but sometimes, that's just the way it is.

I haven't had a chair as comfortable as this one in so long I don't know if I can say I ever did. Thrift stores make great places to find nice things. I just wasn't expecting this nice.

$35. Something like that should have been a lot more and I was very happy to take it off their hands and make it mine.
