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?

That's hideous. DP will probably divorce you.

PerkingFaintly · 12/08/2019 23:33

If a dino footstool doesn't go with your room... change your room.

70sWitch · 13/08/2019 00:22

Of COURSE YANBU. What's life without whimsy?

NotTheMrMenAgain · 13/08/2019 00:24

It is a thing of rare beauty OP, if you don't buy it I will......(sidles off to bed wearing dinosaur PJs).

ScratchyMap · 13/08/2019 00:26

It’s adorable! 😍

FurrySlipperBoots · 13/08/2019 00:34

When did you get your cat OP? Forget your OH, I'm thinking maybe it could be a purrrrthday present!

@MaMaMaMySharona

That is awesome! Don't you feel sorry for him in case his arms are getting tired though?

Hippo winging it's way here as we type. I love them....would have preferred a dinosaur or cow but my son has a thing for hippos. (he can have it for Xmas or his birthday even though it's really for me to use.)

AWaspOnAWindowReturns · 13/08/2019 00:46

Oooohh! I got the unicorn one from B&M at Christmas for DD, I've been on the lookout for a dinosaur one for DS so thank you OP!
(And of course your DH is wrong).

Am in absolute peril?

FeeFee832 · 13/08/2019 00:47

What is this thread Shock

SadOtter · 13/08/2019 01:14

Ah see, its not for feet... its for the cat to lounge in and i think she would look majestic on it

This is the best reason to buy a dinosaur that I have ever heard Grin best bit is my DH is wrapped round the cats tiny paws and would totally take that as a reasonable explanation.

plantwhisperer · 13/08/2019 01:18

You've done the right thing buying it OP! What a majestic creature- what will you name him/her?

Please post pics when it arrives!!!

TheNestedIf · 13/08/2019 03:03

That footstool is almost making my head turn from Rodnik,

www.made.com/rodnik-shark-fin-chair

who, having been viewed and coveted so many times, stalks me on almost every ad window across The Internet. Almost. But not quite.

Threesome?

HalfManHalfLabrador · 13/08/2019 03:30

I’m going to buy two Blush YANBU

1forAll74 · 13/08/2019 03:46

NOOOOO. Its a bit of a novelty, that you might tire of later, which I would ha ha..

My son had a skip a few weeks ago, and he chucked an old foot stool in it, I fished it out of the skip,dusted it down,and brought it home. I wouldn't post a photo of it though, as its old fashioned like me. Its square,with shaped silver coloured legs,and a red velvet covering, its kind of royal looking, and the Queen would like it !

goingdownsouth · 13/08/2019 09:49

I'm going to get the Elk one just for Christmas. I don't care that we have nowhere to store it!

SnuggyBuggy · 13/08/2019 09:59

Awwww my DD is going to love these

PristineCondition · 13/08/2019 13:27

Absolutely bloody love rodnik!

Way out of my budget sadly

@Weezol you absolutely are.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 13/08/2019 13:40

I think my DD would love the elephant for Christmas.
Although I am fully aware that an elephant is for life and not just for Christmas Smile

BenWillbondsPants · 13/08/2019 13:42

Oh my god that shark chair is spectacular!

I'm desperately trying not to order one of those footstools.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 13/08/2019 13:51

We actually bought our kids two bear ones last week. They're stashed in the attic for christmas. They feel madly in love with them in the shop and they were reduced, so we cruelly forced the children to stop hugging them and walk away, then DH went back and paid for them.

I'm a little disappointed that they're not triceratops though.

Crankybitch · 13/08/2019 13:59

I love these!

It’s great to have something that makes you smile in your home

You have to post a pic of your cat riding the dinosaur 🦕
