uh huh, sure it is...

The nice lady at the nice furniture store where i was window shopping said it is extra seating to have around, a new concept in living room furniture, but very handy, and that it's really comfortable.  She even demonstrated, sitting perched on it very carefully.  I have to say, she didn't really look comfortable.

It looked a lot like something else entirely to me.

    I think Dolce and Gabbana must have had slave collars at some point before?

    The LAST thing I would be doing on that piece of furniture is sitting! Ha! :)

    Wow. i think it would go much better in the boudoir, don't you guys? Kind of an end-of-the-bed piece....

    That's pretty amazing. So now I'm wondering, did you buy it? And is there a brand name? Maybe I can order one! Something I've noticed is that there's a dearth of quality, attractive "furniture" like this available...

    Sometimes you just have to wonder if they know anything about what they're selling..

    Okay, I have to give it to the nice lady in the furniture store--I could have never hopped up on that thing and told someone how comfortable it was with a straight face.
    That takes something special in a salesperson lol.

    Jz,
    You know - i hadn't thought of the possibility of a practical joke perpetrated by purchasing. Honestly - i have no idea what the salesperson thought of the thing.

    kaya,
    yea - i was torn between laughing and confusion - i still wonder if the store has any idea - or the joke's on them too.

    monkey and sin,
    I think they probably have included fetish in their lines before - i always wonder (well - now that i recognize it anyhow) if it's just farce or real for someone in design.

    Baby Girl,
    Exactly - and i do wonder if her awkwardness doing it was just because the bench was so narrow or for another reason.

    pepper,
    Oh absolutely! We have such a thing in our bedroom - only we made ours with painted 2x4's and sawhorses with craft store padding - we cover it with a quilt. I'm quite sure no one has a clue - and i will keep telling myself that.

    Jake,
    I did not buy it - it was very nicely made and good looking, but very expensive. My husband had me help him build ours- it isn't "fine furniture" like this - but somehow has a bigger impact this way.

    Ashley,
    Like i said, this was a window shopping kind of store, i think it was more than 400$.

    Conina,
    I do wonder if she had a clue or just thought it was a ridiculous piece of furniture.

    Aisha,
    It was very nice, nicely carved wood, fine leather... I would have to explain it to the boys though - not sure what i would be able to come up with.

    lil,
    She did kinda do a prim and proper, side-saddle, kinda thing. I still wonder if she had any idea...
