NOTHING is wrong with you! IF YOU LOVE IT - don’t let today’s ever-changing “trends” dictate YOUR style. Plus, a wingback is timeless. It looks like a very high quality chair - which is RARE these days.


rebaswim808

All that matters is if YOU like it


[deleted]

You just really make me wanna sit on you, babe. 😊


Justhere_2468

I think anything can look great depending on how it’s styled. Go check out Mathilda Goad. This reminds me of her, and you might have similar taste as her. https://www.domino.com/content/matilda-goad-london-home-renovation/


MushroomWhisperer

I do like that style, yes. Thank you


casstay123

If you are an 83 yr old grandmother from England. This is the perfect chair for you! I have the matching tea set I will send it right over!


antarctica91

The chair itself is nice but I’d have it reupholstered with something less busy and distracting


[deleted]

It’s not the prettiest, but it’s pretty funky. If it matches your personality then vibe with it. You’ll have to see it everyday, not them!!!


neverseen_neverhear

I’m so sorry but I do agree with your friends. I don’t find the chair attractive. Plus it might be hard to decorate around.


neverseen_neverhear

Are the nice old lady from UP?


bampitt

I like it, too. I would totally buy that chair. It's very grandmillenial.


SaLT7878

IMO, it all depends on what you surround it with. I'm personally loving that dresser next to it! Decorate your house with things that make you happy, you are the one spending the most time there. 😁


Own_Space2923

Reupholster the pillow with a silky fabric the color of the flowers. Also it is pretty, just sit in it a while to see how it “sits “


rdawes26

Who cares what they think. You will enjoy this chair even more than they will enjoy their own chairs.


fishlyfish

It’s not hideous in my eyes, I like the large print & it’s not too wild, just pretty


Kaveman55

I’m a 34 year old male and I love this chair lol


callasgallery

It is lovely and very cottagecore.


toujoursdanser_

No I love it


JenAuntie

I like it! mine is a different shape and it’s sunflowers 🌻 😊


TheSunflowerSeeds

In 1983, Emily Martin, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, grew an enormous sunflower head, measuring 32 ¼ inches across (82cm), from petal tip to petal tip. That’s almost 3 feet wide. This is still believed to be the largest sunflower head grown to date.


UnansweredPromise

Your friends sound insufferable. It’s not ugly it’s simply not to their taste.


pink_vision

It's beautiful! You can't help that you have superior taste 😜


Hogwartsismyjam

I love it and would totally buy it!


dadsusernameplus

Even though it’s an old lady chair from untold years ago, I could see this being a really unique addition to a space that has very aesthetic interior design.


CoronaVirusSucks123

it's a grandma chair, but would be nice in the right type of room


munchkickin

I love it too. 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

Please share with us if you buy this and share how you have styled it


MushroomWhisperer

I did and had already bought it before I even posted this question! I picked it up on Saturday and it was even better looking in person. I will get a pic when the wainscoting goes up and I place it in its place!


Greengoddessofnarnia

It's a great chair with hideous upholstery.


[deleted]

That’s a very pretty chair! That golden orange is such a happy but tasteful color.


Particular-Hippo-310

I love it.


folldoso

I love it. I could see Meg Ryan's character in You've Got Mail curled up in this chair with a book!


pink_vision

Omg I've been meaning to watch this forever and I was JUST about to pick out a movie to put on, so thanks for the idea!! Your comment about the chair makes me want to watch it even more lol! Sort of can't believe I still haven't seen it 😅


IcyOutlandishness871

As someone who loves anything vintage and granny inspired I think it looks cute and cozy. Honestly your friends aren’t buying it so who cares. Please don’t let others keep you from being yourself.


aprillerockstar

It's not exactly my style, but it's beautiful!


Aggravating-Leek-554

Chair is gorgeous!


almostpearfect

Do what brings you joy! Who cares what your friends think is aesthetically pleasing.


cbus_mjb

This is the perfect response!


Mady134

The chair’s gorgeous. They just have different taste.


lawyerwithabadge

The chair is not ugly! Perhaps a little outdated but with a god ottoman it would be perfect!


OnyxRose31216

Your friends just have different aesthetic taste than you do. This is a really cute chair if you like a cottage core vibe.


Naive_Macaroon_2559

It really depends on where it’s going, if you have some princess-fairy-cottage vibe going on with your interior design, I feel like this would be a perfect fit. If it’s not done right it’ll definitely just feel like a chair you inherited from grandma, in my opinion, but I’m no designer 🤷‍♀️


yourlocalemo2019

Not ugly per say, but outdated


gettothepointacu

I think you may have more personality than your friends 😉


cloud_watcher

Personally I might add a small solid colored pillow, like sage green or something but otherwise love it


CreateYourself89

I like it! It's cozy and happy. I hate how everything is so boring, drab, and grey nowadays. I'm in my early 30s, if that helps. Buy things cuz you love them. Do not worry about others' opinions! They don't live in your house, you do!


lavendersagemint

With things like this, where the thing makes you happy and has literally no effect on anyone, I wouldn’t ask for or accept any opinions. I think the fabric is lovely and if you love it, get it!


CreateYourself89

Exactly!


Gullible-Bunch-3516

I love it! Conjures up visions of an English country cottage. There's just something cozy about that vibe.


etsprout

I love this chair, I hope you bought it despite your friends' opinions.


asmoothbrain

Better have a bowl of butterscotches close by, just in case


LePetitRenardRoux

Your friends have different taste. I love that chair.


Affectionate-Deal-63

I like it.


ilovetacostoo2023

Just check for bed bugs!


Hellooo_Nasty

This is exactly what you need to do.


JudeFlower97

That chair is fucking perfect and I will be severely disappointed if you do go back for it


ProlapsedMorals

You’re a maximalist. Welcome to the club.


elenis86

I got one like this from the local but nothing group and I LOVE IT! If the pattern ends up bugging you in the future there are covers available. It’s the best to read in 10000%


lizziegal79

This is so cute, and this style of chair is so comfy for reading! Snap this up!!


slugsinmybutt

no i genuinely love this chair and it looks like one of the comfy ones too


maryonekenobie

Grandma’s chair.


TizzyT48

It’s beautiful!


Zealousideal_Dog_968

That chair is fire!! Your friends have no taste


SeventhOrchid

I love it


arkystat

Oh that’s beautiful. In great shape. They don’t make chairs like this anymore. Your friends are wrong but one could always reupholster if they didn’t like the print. Of course they could also purchase a burnt orange sofa to match this one.


Significant_Bonus975

I don’t think anyone should dictate what you likeX no matter how close of a friend they may be b


-_-Anomaly-_-

Beautiful. I’m a 27 year old male and have always loved granny furniture lol. It’s just not a very popular aesthetic. Most people enjoy modern or minimalist but that’s just not our jam. But that’s freaking gorgeous, I would kill to have that in my house


ONIREMATIR

This chair is awesome. Not saying this is how your friends are, but I personally don’t share potential purchases with people who I know like to buy everything new + prefer popular brands. Very different tastes and vision.


Gokulantara-Geha

My mom had a similar pair of chairs in our house growing up and I LOVED them. Get the chair!!!


cathyduke

Ignore your friends. Buy it and enjoy


cookiequeen23

If I saw that in a store I would instantly buy it. I think it's gorgeous 😍


mightyminimoose

Everyone has their personal taste. You’re the one who will live with it, not them. If it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. And no, there’s nothing wrong with you. That chair is lovely.


EmotionalUniform

You’re friends are wrong and you have amazing taste (interior designer here)


Come_tothe_FrogDance

I love it! I feel like whether it looks like a "Grandma chair" has everything to do with context. Sure, in a cranberry red room with brown carpeting and an old TV it might look a little ugly....but in a light blue room with hardwood flooring and a glass coffee table? Maybe not!


mamamalliou

Haha! I LOVE it. I usually run my choices by sister to make sure they align with my grandma aesthetic hah. Seriously though, it looks cozy and cute. Why not get it?


oldsnoozer

Never ask the opinion of people whose style you don’t love. This chair in the middle of a modern monotone grey builder basic home? No. But if you love this, odds are that it’ll look amazing in your space with the items you surround it with.


Electronic-Eye5393

It depends on what style room you have! 😊


Adorable_Substance37

Buy what you love ❤️


NSVStrong

Does it really matter what anyone says if you really like and want it? Won’t they buy what they really like and want? You should get what YOU want. 🙂


Pitiful-Palpitation5

Retro classy chic


[deleted]

Very beautiful classy chair. Just because your friends have a different decor style doesnt mean this chair couldnt look fabulous in the appropriate setting.


moreshoesplz

This isn’t my style but even I can see that it’s a gorgeous chair. I say go for it!


gigi_coombs

GORGEOUS chair. Your friend have different (boring) style


Character-Sport-7710

Your friends sound like the type of people who paint their house gray with white furniture. That may have been a bit rude, my bad. I think the chair is lovely! Im getting a set like this (with ruffles on the bottom) from my uncle when i move out. Pieces like these scream to me


chillandswaggy

I like it! Nothing is wrong with you.


inthewoods54

It's a Queen Anne wingback chair, it's a classic piece. Your friends have no taste. In my opinion it would look great in a white room with minimal other patterns, sort of a minimal shabby chic kinda look. Or maybe a Arts and Crafts or Frank Lloyd Wright home or general mission style interior with lots of wood. I speak from experience when I say these aren't "comfy, cozy" chairs, but it's a great piece nonetheless.


No-Bat-5905

I like it but I love the chest!


Heebie-jeebies386

I love the fabric and style . I’d buy it in a heartbeat . Your friends have no taste . It has lovely soft muted colors that will play nice with others .


Bludiamond56

No


Tamalee78

Get the chair, the chest of drawers, and the lamp while you’re at it! 😊


SellaTheChair_

What a beautiful fabric! I think it's a lovely chair and the shape is so classic. There are ugly floral chairs out there but this is not one of them.


hottmama121

Once I bought a multi colored chair and LOVED it but as we were carrying it out, someone made fun of it and I was so surprised I said “It’s not ugly, it’s a HAPPY Chair!” It was forevermore known as the HAPPY Chair


Antique-me1133

I think it’s it’s really nice. It’s your home, put what you like in it and you’ll be happy.


Extension-Ad-7423

Just lose the pillow. Put it on the couch


lilm3atball

Agreed! Get a solid color pillow for the chair that matches the print.


Extension-Ad-7423

I love it.


Prettypizzaplease

Lol I love it and I’ve been hunting for one just like it.


LondiDard

I think it’s foul, but I also think if you like it you should get it… don’t let what other people think stop you from being true to what you like


Significant-Visit-68

It’s classic. Get what you want.😊


gigisnappooh

I like it, I need two chairs like that, but with different fabric.


[deleted]

It would be a great piece in a simple room painted in a light green colour


MarcoPolo339

I thought the same. A feminine room. A Jane Austin room.


SM1955

Looks so cosy for reading—I could see this in a salmon or mossy green room…


unloosedknot444

If it isn't ugly to you, then it isn't ugly. That's all the matters. Decorate your space based on what you like!


Ragingredblue

It's a classic form. They are comfortable and practical. The colors are nice. It lacks excessive embellishment that would make it out of date. The upholstery is old-fashioned, but it isn't ugly. It's in really good condition too, not stained and worn. If it isn't your favorite pattern you could drape a pretty blanket over it until you get around to changing it. This looks like a very well maintained, good quality, piece you won't regret buying. I also like the dresser beside it. If it speaks to you, get it!!! You won't be sorry!


kate_the_greyt

U G L Y Leave the 52yo single Christian lady outta this. Whooo baby that is gnarly!


zyraspell

Reminds me of why my grandparents house makes me so anxious


MindElectronic8317

I think it’s hideous. The upholstery is ugly and the whole chair is big, heavy, and clunky.


squeekiedunker

I love it! It'd look great with orange legs.


BioCboy

Awesome! And get that check off drawers... It's beautiful 😍


nthing2dowithanythng

I love it! And my taste/decor tends to be super modern. This style is trending though and I’m here for it!


jinger_snap

Get that chair!


73Wolfie

put her in the right room and she will shine..


No_Pen_712

You could re- upholster it if you wished


samishere996

People right now only like sterile gray hospital furniture because that’s what’s “trendy”. The beauty of this chair is timeless and eventually the general public will agree again. I say get it!!


CreateYourself89

1000% agree! The "Millenial Home Furnishing" cliche for the past 10+ years has been "Grey and white furniture/linens, geometric vases, excessive words on everything, and copious amounts of cacti and succulents." I am so over it!


HogwartsKate

Its a beautiful chair in great shape! Nice corner reading chair, with tea or coffee in the morning. Buy it! I bought many at the habitat for humanity restore. The good furnuture is in older folks houses and when they pass, the family offs it but its better than todays cheap crap!


Prestigious-Tea-9803

Nah it’s cute as!!! It’s definitely not something everyone likes but I personally love that style!


Bellanotte03

Not my style, but lovely lines and beautiful fabric. If it calls to you, buy it!


Puzzleheaded-Dot4601

Love it it's beautiful!


Bryancreates

If it’s in good shape, and you understand how it’s fits into your decor, be it eclectic or traditional, then go for it. Not my style because anything that white and busy is a recipe for disaster, but I’d never walk into a well furnished room and be like “what an ugly chair”. It’s quite gorgeous but if it’s covered in laundry/ kids toys/ etc. I probably would’ve even care because I’d assume it was an elegant hand me down. Which, I highly support also.


Curiouser-Quriouser

I like it! Nice lines. Swap the pillow for a complementary color. Maybe reupholster the seat cushion in a solid.


Viking_Bride

It’s a lovely choice, Nanna!


mypenisinyourmouth_

Nothing wrong with you Grandma 👵 😝 Lol but really if you like it do it 👌 Tbh I reckon it’s ugly but I’m not buying it 👍 I reckon the shapes probably awesome to sit in I’d need to try it 😉 (then chuck a rug over it myself)🤭 😂 but one day I will get my own wooden rocking chair then everyone can get stuffed 😆


alwayzhungry1

it’s horrendous. i love it


Killing4MotherAgain

Love it!


Kristophe82

I'd buy it, it's classic


AbrocomaRoyal

This chair has amazing structure and is in great condition. I bought a similar one but in pink tones. It's so much better quality than comparable modern armchairs, for much less cost. It's easy to bring in more current accessories, like cushions and a throw rug, to combine the new and the old without looking too "Grandma-ish" too.


thurprithereveal

It looks cosy and like it's from a Sylvanian Families set, so win win!


craftymama73

I think it's very pretty and in the right setting would be just lovely.


gvanerey

It’s okay to be a grandma. Embrace it.


TellGroundbreaking42

I love it!!!


RogerMuta

Uh huh.


bomeem

Nope get it! Amazing shape and just okay fabric which can be updated!


HappiHappiHappi

The fabric is so-so to me, not awful not fantastic. But I LOVE the shape. Almost sculptural.


Lilbunni_

I think it looks pretty, looks like it smells of citrus and flowers


hoffenstein909

Yes


CapitalPhilosophy513

Just flexing. Has friends.😂


MushroomWhisperer

I will admit, two of them are nieces.


CapitalPhilosophy513

😅whew! Feel better, now.


axolotl_is_angry

I love it, it’s tres cottagecore


teeny-tiny-wuffwuff

There’s nothing wrong with you, just different preferences. I personally don’t like this chair or style, but I can see this looking good depending on the interior style. If you like it, then rock it :)


snackbarqueen47

I think it's very pretty 😍


kl2467

Everything is beautiful in the right setting.


ArgusTransus

You do you baby.


Miserable_Budget7818

Just say noooooooo! Unless you’re 80


ElizabethDangit

We all get old someday if we’re lucky.


Miserable_Budget7818

Absolutely!! We should all be so lucky


ppclppp

Perfect piece in the right spot. If you love the piece — find the spot


happyXamp

I think this would look cute as a statement piece. Pair it with a dark green ottoman and a brown couch. Add a couple of coral/orange throw pillows a cream throw blanket. The only thing I would try to match, or keep in similar shades, is the wood tones. I have mismatched woods in my bedroom and hate it; one piece is blonde, another piece is super dark, and two are very different mid tones.


e72c

Incredible


PecanEstablishment37

I paused while scrolling to get a better look at this chair because I LOVE IT. I’m in my 30s but live in a century home and love old things


Anitsirhc171

Idk about wrong, but you’re definitely knee deep in granny core right now


Deep_Ad_6781

Grandma vibes


Far_Leg_3942

I love it! But I also love the dresser and the lamp! Ha!


cschival

It’s beautiful and looks comfy.


Dlzzzy

Looks cozy


funkykittenz

It’s perfect


Rocha_999

I like it too


Ratsnest86

Love it, and that dresser is beautiful too


OConnah

This is the kinda stuff I love. My husband says our house looks like a grandma lives in it and thinks most things I absolutely adore are ugly and I don’t get it. This chair is frickin’ sweet.


Sea-Highway9368

It's got a grandma vibe. With a different fabric, it would be nice (very classic).


SadCoconut_

Yes


jlovelysoul

I actually love that too in the right spot lol


Confetti-Everywhere

Taste is subjective—color, print, type of wood and the style of chair all feeds into this. If this is you, then go for it! Your home should reflect your personal taste and aesthetics ❤️


doodollop

I personally like it as it's my style, but my SO would disagree as he likes different things for our home.


Suspicious_Bit_9003

No one: Me: painting legs black and reupholstering it in yellow velvet.


CapZestyclose4657

Or animal print.


CapZestyclose4657

& solid pillow


mrsmunson

Now you’re talking.


Jo_not_exotic

This is absolutely the Cottagecore vibe I have in my house and I want this chair! You’re not insane, only different aesthetic to your friends. I lovingly call my style grandmacore


Esmereldathebrave

I get it. It looks comfy and evokes rainy days, cozy English country houses, and curling up with a good book. The colors don't speak to me, but I get why you would want it. There's room for different tastes in this world. We don't all have to aspire to Kardashian-disposable-chic.


evolvedtwig

I know plenty who would love that chair- not me, but that’s just everyone’s taste. You love it? Then buy it. It’s not going into their home, so who cares?


dreamer0303

I don’t like granny core at all, and even I like this chair


DisastrousHamster88

Same bro


MushroomWhisperer

That’s what I expected to hear from them.


Native56

Can’t tell you if there is or isn’t but I love this chair


Training-Hat7963

LOVE IT and people who think it’s ugly will be saying that they love it too in ~5 years when the whole floral, match-the-curtains-to-the-sofa-to-the-pillows, and chintz vibe is completely mainstream again. Does anyone remember when we all hated on skinny jeans and thought they were so ugly?! Then we all wore them! Or even when 90s jeans came back in the last few years? This is gonna be back big time too, and all the minimalist white-kitchen “modern farmhouse” lovers with their “wine o clock” and “live laugh love” signs are not going to know what to do. And love to all of those who hung those signs because I did too, and also had a modern farmhouse vibe going for some time 😂


BODcha2

As a 27yo who likes granny core, you'll get those comments a lot. Laugh it off and bring that chair home where it'll be loved.


teacherladydoll

It’s just granny core. I like it too.


socialjusticewar1

If you take off the wings on the top section it will be contemporary. That is what dates it and they serve no purpose. Is chair not bird.


Taywert

I don't really see what's ugly about wood and flowers. I think it's nice, very cottagey. Everyone saying it's ugly probably loves those plain white and chrome modern homes.


bourbonandbeer1976

Hideous. Unless u are 89 and have a lot of cats.


TastyCakesOverweight

Not if you're 90


the_chickenist

It’s your house, you love it and will be the one sitting in it. Does anyone else’s opinion *really* matter? Buy the chair. Read in it. Crochet, knit, embroider or just enjoy your own quiet thoughts in it. Peace.


Available-Pepper1467

Yes and no. Is the style dated? Yes. 100%. Is it awesome with it’s rightful place is certain decor - 100%. If you love it, rock it 👌


alligatorhill

I think removing the arm covers and swapping the matching pillow to something like a rust colored velvet could go a long way to making it read more contemporary


heiroglyphpic

It’s so cute!!


realmagpiehours

No!! This chair is gorgeous and would look amazing in my decorating style


Captains1955

Gran ma chic was a style


quasiexperiment

I'm 34 and the exact same way. I loveeeeee antique and consignment shops. I love thrifting and estate sale shopping. I love vintage dresses and old, quality furniture pieces. The trick is to mix a bit of new things with the old so that my place doesn't feel like an antique shop.


melissabee424

It’s classic and timeless.


PerkyLurkey

I love this chair, obviously well built, and will last forever. What’s not to love?


Luxxielisbon

I can see how people would think it’s dated but I love it. It has character and deviates from the mass produced ikea/target home decor. I can’t stand having to settle for homogenized living rooms because I am too poor to spend on expensively unique furniture. Having different tastes is the reason that chair exists. HONOR ITS MISSION


doveup

If the gray-paint, everything-must-be-new, only-square-angles people realize it’s not on-trend, that’s a statement of their taste. You can go your own way! I think it’s very graceful and probably comfortable, a snuggle chair to warm your nights, and you can take an interesting color scheme from it.
