What do you think of this funky chair?

Found this on CL. Have not seen it in person but there's something so cool about it. Have no idea where I'd use it, just find it sooo cute.

Any opinions?

Eh, not my style, but, the price is right...if you like it, buy it. It's not like they're asking an outrageous price or anything. Sorry, I'm no help. : D

OK.. this is where my head is now.. It's a beautiful chair but leaning away from getting it because: - it's more leather and brown to my already heavy on wood/leather room. The house is small so I am finding too much leather and wood to be a little "heavy" and imposing. - The color is similar but much more golden than the sofa leather which I carefully chose the color of. It's not the same grade or quality either. - it has a bit of a "man's club" feel to me.. and for the foreseeable future, this is a chick house. - while I love tufting, it just sucks in dog hair (which I have far too much of - I think I really have my heart set on a light, interesting fabric chair. Am I making a big mistake if I walk away? I am in the midst of a very bad work day so I don't know that I am being clear headed about this. one more note: due to work issues, it is very unlikely that I am going to be able to leave and drive the hour to the location before 5pm tonight (she can show it tomorrow morning)

I'd pay a fortune for number one. It's amazing. I also like two. I have a few of those style and they are comfortable at a desk if the springs are still tight but for sitting in for longer periods of time the wing is such a better choice. Yes those buttons on four freak me out too lol. Ekg heh heh. Perfect

Never heard of Lennox for furniture -- and finding it at Furniture Depot gives me some pause (not because I know them or anything bad about them -- but because I don't know anything about them and it sounds so "big box" KWIM?). The construction sounds good and finding it there verifies that the seller is not making that up. Is the chair new to the seller? Do you know why they are selling it? Have you seen it and sat in it?

The curved line of the seat is definitely taken from the Swedish Modern lounge chairs, which were designed as early as the 1920s. But the X-base is a much older style that has been around, in and out of fashion, since the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. Interesting hybrid. And I'll make qa wild guess that it's earlier than the 1950s, more like 1930s. Is it comfortable? Does it rock? Have you checked the hardware for patent stamps and manufacturer names?

I could see it in a bathroom, if the cushion was recovered with something easy to wipe off, or an entryway.

I think it's GREAT, and like Melly, I'd want to re-do the cover on the seat to blend with my bathroom decor.

I LOVE that chair and would buy it in a heartbeat. Would add great texture to a space--it's almost like sculpture!

As an accent piece, sure. But it looks really uncomfortable to actually sit in.

I'd love it as a dressing table chair.
Polished up, and with a bright, large-scale print cushion, I think it would kick off the morning with just the right wacky girly spirit.

I like it. All the ideas above -- even a closet chair for dressing and putting on shoes if you have the space in a walk-in or beside your closet. Would be really cute in a girl's bedroom, possibly a boy's, a guest room -- anywhere you might want to pull an extra chair up to a table. Would definitely change the fabric for my house, but that looks like it would be easy to do.

I thought it was cute and different. Master is grey/blue, thought it looked pewter grey and with a new seat cushion could look adorable. I was thinking my closet or vanity, or a small desk.

Never got to see it today as the owner said he wasn't available until Wed. Will try to go this week. I figured, for the price, I couldn't lose!
