Come and sit down

@pgntwo That’s when we were allowed to use the best porcelain.

@xFiacre Oh, the gazunda was reserved for guests on such occasions, yes, you're right! The guaranteed anti-splash thunder pot, complete with staring eye...

... but a tad refreshing at 2am with a stiff nor'easterly howling around outside...

@JudyEv It sounds really comfortable. If I am going to change my chair. I would prefer to have a swivel chair.

@Shavkat Mine swivels and it's very convenient.

My desk chair is pretty comfy too and has armrests.

It's nice to have a head rest if you really want to relax.

It doesn't look too comfortable does it? I think a recliner love seat is probably better!

I love this too...it's very comfortable to sit.

@Icydoll yeah right... even in the previous school where i worked, these are the chairs that they have in the faculty lounge because it helps the professors to relax and nap...

We have some of these too and you are right. They are very relaxing to sit in.

They are aren't they? Although they don't really look it.

@JudyEv I tried to get the same piece again but I could not find it. I may consider accepting an alternative if I still could not get it by the end of April.

@id_peace It often seems to be the case that the things we really like that they stop making.

We can wear out our favourite things from over-use can't we? I'm sorry you have to be rid of your recliner. Will you try to get another like it?

I have a desk chair for my computer chair and it is very comfortable. Some of our other chairs don't go high enough for comfort in front of the computer.

@JudyEv Yes, the reaper-binder had been horse-drawn, then adapted to be towed behind a tractor. I had the job of sitting up in the seat and engaging or disengaging the drove mechanism as the binder was navigated around awkward corners or the edges of the field. I remember one time being on the pick and stook team on the ground, when a fieldmouse shot out and went up the leg of my jeans. That was a hot topic for discussion at lunch that day! The pic on this page shows stooks behind the reaper-binder:

@MALUSE Stooks are the description applied to bundles of cut grain, typically wheat or barley. The bundles are built to prevent the grain from being harmed by the rain, using the way the cut stem has been cut to keep the unthreshed (threshing is where the stalks are beaten to separate the grain from the stalks, the step before winnowing) heads from being exposed. Stooking is referenced here, if you wish to be further enlightened:

Yes, that's very similar to the one in my photo. It wasn't just tractor seats that were made like this but seats on all horse-drawn machinery. This looks like a horse-drawn reaper converted to be hauled by a tractor. Here is an old harvester restored by my brother. You can see the same sort of seat on it.

@JudyEv Sometimes I don't think it takes me two minutes to get to the land of Nod!

@moffittjc You must be a fast one! lol

Some recliners are like that aren't they? Two minutes and you're in the land of Nod.

@JudyEv Yeah, it looks like it would fit a butt perfectly.

Most wrought iron chairs aren't comfortable but the shaping of this one seems to help.

@cintol Especially a farmer's butt!

They're made of steel but they're still quite comfy. Some would put a bag on them to give a bit more padding.

@teamfreak16 Nowadays they are padded and some of the very fancy harvesters have a microwave in them - or so I've been told. I'm think maybe someone was taking me for a ride with that fact. It could be true as the drivers can spend hours on their machines.

@JudyEv - I could see that. I just assumed that they were padded.

The most comfortable chairs are always popular, aren't they?

@nela13 Oh dear! I hope you have prior claim to a 'good' chair being the oldest or the 'boss' or whatever,

@JudyEv Yes, especially when we are four and good chairs are only two

You couldn't stretch out on this. 'Folk art' was popular for a while wasn't it?

@dgobucks226 I have a bad back too but while I'm careful it doesn't worry me too much. Lots of people suffer with bad backs don't they?

@JudyEv Definitely could not stretch out on that chair. It would throw out my already bad back Judy, lol.

@JudyEv It over looks my garden and the bird bath

I'm not surprised this is your favourite corner. It looks a very relaxing place.

@allknowing An idyllic place.

@JudyEv the ones I saw where very comfortable and had a good neck and shoulder support

I haven't tested the armchairs at IKEA. I hope to get back there soon and see what is new.

@Madshadi I'll check them out next time we go. We need some new shelving for our bedroom.

@JudyEv Yes, even for me, those are comfortable chairs. (Dad always carried a thin pillow out to put in the chair before sitting in it.)

These sort are comfortable though aren't they?

A massage chair would be good. I wouldn't mind having one of them.

@JudyEv it is really very nice to have one.

The flat wrought iron chairs are not comfortable at all. It seems to be the shaping that helps this one.

@JudyEv Yep it looks like it has 'bum' support

@acrogodess Sitting on a bed could be contributing to your back pain.

I used to do this once but now I'm older sitting on my bed too long gives me a backache.

@JudyEv I'm 37. Maybe that's why my back hurts so much. That never occurred to me.
