Will you remember the extra 29 euro you paid, or the fact that you never bought the chair? Buy the chair already!

I am looking forward to seeing a picture of you sitting in that chair triumphantly, gracing the environs of your house.

to buy or not is one of the very very few things I feel I have even a tiny bit of control over in my adopted home so yeah, maybe enjoying the process, lol

Omg, please get the chair already! You don’t need your husband!s approval, lol. I’m shocked you didn’t buy it the last time it was shown. You 100% deserve a comfy, cozy reading chair. In fact, I insist, ha. And I love yellow; if that color doesn’t cheer someone up, nothing will :-)

it's not really about his approval. We have a TON of furniture we'll be bringing in containers, and we neither of us really want to buy anything new, we agreed we'd try to get only antiques. and here we are looking at a grocery store chair. Anyway it's been "reduced" to 179 euro for so long I am not physically capable of buying it for that price, it must be lower! I wanted to offer 150 euro, the h wants to offer 100 euro which makes me mad. I waited more than a year for my yellow Miata and got that for a discount, too.

Molly the Lab likes her daily walk, but also likes to lie on the back deck soaking up the rays. It’s a May - October thing here in the Boston area, so she’s taking full advantage while she’s still got it.

Yes, the chair is in sight! I keep rooting they'll lower the price.

What is wrong with these people! Don't they know they could make an easy sale.

Talk to the manager and offer him 150 Euros. I think he might bargain with you.

Maybe Jake has his eye on the chair or at least a place on the couch.

It's true his favorite place to sit has always been on a chair, resting his face on the arm. Maybe he is just really missing that! (our furniture has yet to arrive here)
