...to not want to sit on a huge turd??

[ILoveACornishPasty]

We are looking for a new sofa for our new house. I'm happy to go with leather but my husband has chosen this. He loves it. I think it looks like a huge turd! Please tell me it's not just me.

Nope, not a good sofa choice, at all, in any way - colour, design, visual effect, sitting comfort, don't do it!

Regardless, you two should both compromise and choose out something neither of you disikes.

YANBU OP

Out of interest, what should I aim for on the Bristol stool chart? I do actually mean poo wise now, not in terms of soft furnishings...

I'm not sure. 3?

Type 4 is best

Ah I wasn't sure if the snake element of 4 was good or not!

I think we need a colour chart via the NHS - to compare properly

YABU allowing him have an opinion on furniture! That's never going to end well....

God this thread reminds me of when I was married and having to deal with the truly heinous taste of men! It's like they deliberately pick the most hideous thing on gods earth on purpose, and you laugh thinking they're joking...and they aren't and they get dead offended!

Can't you just trip and your credit card just falls into the machine? To buy anything else except that turd thing?!

I actually really like it.

No, I can't lie, I tried but I can't. I can't even be polite about it. It's revolting.

I am still agog at people's close familiarity with the stool chart!

It's really very impressive!

Haha! OP, that sofa does not look comfortable at all.

Tell your DH it has no lumbar support.

It will be very uncomfortable for your backs and tushies.

That truly is a monstrosity. Could someone please explain the clinical relevance of the Bristol stool chart. I can see that number 5 looks very runny and means you might have a bit of an upset tummy but is it healthier to have smooth stools rather than ones with cracks in?

I would rather sit on Nic Cage's face than sit on that overstuffed brown behemoth, OP.

Bobbly poos hurt. I don't often have them, but when I have, they've hurt.

That sofa also hurts- in an aesthetic way.

3-4 perfect!

Yes, type 3 or 4 usually means you are eating correctly and staying hydrated and everything is moving as it should do.

My word DFS usually do quite well but fuck me that sofa is horrific

Get it in red and it will look like an 'artisanal chrorizo'.

Love the vulva settee. You could choose which bit to hump couldn't you.

I bet the person who owns that gives them all names

Yes. It looks like a poo. I presume no 2 is slightly constipated? A constipated sofa, lovely.

Some friends of ours bought a nearly-new leather chesterfield a while ago, a lot like this this one or similar. Despite it looking lovely it was insanely uncomfortable, the very low back and deep cushions weren't a good combination. They ended up hating it so much that when they moved house they left it for the new people for free, who had said they really liked it. I bet they didn't like it after two weeks...

I do like the look of some Chesterfields which I thought would be a good compromise but I have yet to find anyone who thinks they're comfortable! The Husband wants leather and I do understand it to a degree-we have loads of children and a dog-but it wouldn't be my first choice: cold in the winter, sticky in the summer. That said, I can use a nice throw to sit on (or dare I say it....a Slanket!!) but I don't think there is any throw in the world that can conceal the faecal qualities of this disgusting piece of furniture-I must admit to be vaguely disappointed there is no match foot 'stool' or I could have been tempted to buy that for comedy value.

You'd have to pick a throw carefully for that. Too small and white would look like loo roll....

This thread was hilarious to read. Thanks for the laugh.
