I must be in some kind of time warp!? I have no idea why, but my inner voice told me to post a trivia question. So here goes....what kind of chair is this?

Thanks Thomas for rescuing me from my brain fart. I have something going on Thursday that I have to do some prep for and got mixed up as to what day it is. ;-)

Well, it's clearly not a pee-wee herman chair, because it doesn't look like it can talk.

It looks to me like a sweet big farm chair with

a place to rest the dogs. I liked the closeness of the captain's chair too.

There we go!  Answer

It is a Planter's Chair. There are different forms but most have reclining backs and arms that swing out and support the legs of weery farmers. Obviously pre-LayZBoy!!!

Good job...time to crate up another Golden Uni!
