...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.

Pubic hair cushion?

Ugh! Do not let your DH pick the furniture. Doesn't even look comfy.

It looks extraordinarily uncomfortable, hard, unyielding and odd low back. Have you actually sat on one to try? Unless it's very comfy, refuse.

This very sofa featured on a TV programme I was watching last night - Webcam Girls - they were doing a 'tasteful' photo shoot on it.

Those girls live a very strange abnormal life but convince themselves it's a good choice because they earn money and 'pay their own way' in life.

I was at my son's nursery waiting for him while he was in the toilet cubicle. I looked at the Bristol stool chart and it reminded me of your sofa. Thought I'd finally got that vision out of my head, but it is here to stay for a while longer.
As others have said. Think of the kids.

Dear me OP you give your DH a choice in decorating/furnishing your house?
I realised when I first met DH he had no aesthetic sense (I'm trying to be polite) He's also colour blind
I revamped his entire wardrobe within a year of meeting him
I generally choose three items-wallpaper or whatever-I really like and ask him to give the casting vote .He concedes I have much better taste and he likes the way our home looks. And it helps that he hates shopping .
If it makes me sound controlling I don't care.And we don't have turd like sofas....
Unless it's an aberration and he usually has perfect taste I'd adopt the above methodology.It doesn't even look comfortable
But the thread has made me laugh

Thanks for the laugh! Really helped whilst sitting in hospital with a poorly baby!!! Xx

We've just bought a lovely leather sofa 1950's style, in perfect Pewter eco leather. It looks fab!

The trouble will begin when it is mistaken for a bog! Who will clear up the mess?

That is the ugliest pooiest sofa I've ever clapped eyes on! And as others have said, just imagine the crap that would get stuck in all those indents. It would be like lots of minging fluffy and smelly belly buttons. You'd resent him forever if you let the purchase of this monstrosity proceed

Its not nice at all a big NO

It just proves men are obsessed with pooing, he even wants to sit on one!

Vulva sofa...... Jesus!

At least your choice of a tiger sofa is magnificent kitch ILAPC. I'm in pain just thinking of trying to pass that turd sofa. There have been moments ..... But no, let's not go there.
Has your DH shown previous scatalogical tendencies? You can trust us, we can keep a secret. This is probably related to a childhood trauma. He could stretch out on it for Freudian mind fart confession sessions... On the psychiatrists couch.

just imagine the crap that would get stuck in all those indents. It would be like lots of minging fluffy and smelly belly buttons.

I think you should challenge him to do a mood board. See what other gems he can come up with. Then share with us please. I need more laughs this afternoon. This is clearly a man that taste forgot. don't show him the poo cushions, toilet roll wall paper etc on here, he might like them

For your dining room perhaps?

Presumably it'll be a backdoor delivery that will need to be squeezed through and then followed by copious paperwork.

If you are going to live in this house, you deserve a sofa that doesn't insult your eyes. I'd not budge with this one, you'd regret it ever after.

I don't get why anyone would be so married to the idea of buying this sofa. It is not a very interesting design, nothing extraordinary where I would understand that he just has to have it.
Except maybe he really loves number two of the Bristol Stool Chart.

Maybe you can compromise on a brown leather sofa that doesn't look quite so turd-y.

@Postchildren: It's the same in my entire family. Maybe even men who aren't officially colour blind aren't able to see as many colours as women? Or they're just too lazy to buy their own clothes ...

In my experience it's bad to let hubby choose sofas, etc without any input from yourself as they always pick awful ones. When I let this happen the darn thing had to be sent back to the shop as it wouldn't fit through the door! The original was on special offer and the replacement of course wasn't so we had to pay more for a two seater than the three. Complete and utter b**s up. Never liked the replacement and eventually it found its way to the tip.

You see, my lovely husband usually just lets me get on with the purchasing of furnishings etc. I'll be honest, he didn't really get a choice on the house either! So when he showed an interest I was genuinely pleased and so want to let him have some input so that I can shake off my 'she wears the trousers' reputation with my inlaws (I don't, he just doesn't generally give a monkeys). You can imagine my horror when faced with this beast. We are going sofa shopping tomorrow and I will absolutely slip the DFS guy a cash wadge to tell us this one is out of stock. Forever.

Deefer101 that made me roar!! Xx

OK- comparing it to ll th eother brown sofas on the DFS site makes it look even more like a turd.

Sorry. It's hideous.

Tell him that in my experience dogs and leather is not always a good idea - sounds practical I know, but then one of my dogs clearly thought "food" when he encountered the leather sofa and ate his way into it .....
