We are looking for a new footstool. Ive found this bad bastard and I'm in love! Its in the set budget and brown- the two things he mentioned!
Dp is saying no, it will go with nothing and its a fucking dinosaur.

He's obviously wrong and I'm totally buying it but AIBU?

Your cat deserves this!

We have an elephant (Ellie) and a bear (Ted) just like this. My parents also have a hippo (Hallie). Definitely brighten up the rooms 😁 so I say go for it!

Spectacularly atrocious looking and yet.. I am strangely drawn to it. God alone knows why. Actually is its face back to front or upside down or some such? DP would love this

AGnu · 12/08/2019 23:07

I want one! They clearly need rescuing - there's several photos in that link where someone's punching the poor animals in the back! Sad

Occasionally at craft fayre I see woolly sheep ones and think they're great.

I think a dinosaur is even better!

Bookworm4 · 12/08/2019 23:13

I sent the link to DD14, she replied that’s awful- only saw the b&w cow- then has a better look- can we get a Dino?
I foresee herds of dinosaurs taking over homes as far as the eye can see.

He’s fabulous. He made me smile when I saw his picture. I used to have a Shaun the sheep one years ago.

FiveLittlePigs · 12/08/2019 23:18

I prefer the elk. Am about to buy one for dd!

coolcahuna · 12/08/2019 23:19

Go for it! I've got this in the grey hippo version and love it. Also have a koala side table !

The eBay seller will be mystified by the influx of orders 🤣🤣

9Greenbottles · 12/08/2019 23:26

The elk is clearly a reindeer.

CornedBeef451 · 12/08/2019 23:27

@toomuchfaster they're so cheap, I might buy myself a mixed stack just for fun.

I need it, I'd have to lock it in another room or the dratted pointy dog will do unspeakable things to it, but I waaaaaant it.

Bet it isn't within my budget (of.. zero...)..

summersherewishiwasnt · 12/08/2019 23:28

Buy another totally different, then you’d have beauty and the beast, it’s awful... sorry

I'm a bit in love with the alligator. Look at his beady little eyes 😍

strawberrypenguin · 12/08/2019 23:31

It's brilliant. Love the cow too

Catquest1 · 12/08/2019 23:32

I saw a hippo and crocodile one last year in a shop in the Lake district and regretted not buying one (despite the price which wss considerably more than the links posted!!)

I am now tempted ....
