Isn't it awesome? Look at those slightly curved arms, the solid walnut frame, the vintage awesomeness. Serious, it's just awesome. <sigh> I've been wanting a chair like this for years...
Just the one teensy tiny little problem - the upholstery is crap. No, really, it's disintegrating. When I loaded it into my trunk I tipped it upside down with the back rest hanging out so the itty bitty foam pieces (think foam dust) could fall onto the road instead of in my car while I drove it home.
Once I get up the courage to reupholster this baby I'll tell you all about it. Until then it's hanging out on my front porch, adding a pop of color and awesomeness to my humdrum gray house.
AWESOME.

Trash picked chairs=awesome!
I see that upholstered with a red suede...unless of course, you plan to keep it outside, then I'd go with an oilcloth...but, oh, the suede would be scrumptious!
I cannot wait to see what you do with it!
I'm thinking something retro-50s floral, durable, and inexpensive. Suede would be wonderful... but not with a 13 month old and two cats. lol I may even go with oilcloth indoors so it's easily cleaned. Stay tuned...
D'Oh! I forgot about Kid and cats...yes, suede would be bad. :( Hmmm, just a thought, you could do a patchwork with scraps of fabric, then use a heavy iron interface on the backing before upholstering. Could be interesting!
Score! I know you'll do something wonderfully creative with it. Can't wait to see ;)
