AIBU to think this is not tat

Recently purchased this rather gorgeous glass and metal pineapple from our local charity shop. I love it, but DH thinks it's ugly tat. Obviously he's wrong and has no appreciation for it's beauty. Maybe you lovely MN'ers can settle this argument for me.

YANBU, it's divine.
YABU, it's tat.

Obviously I know what this answer is 😁...If anyone has one, or knows where it's from I'd be intrigued to know, I'm thinking TKMaxx.

Forgot the pic! Here you go....

Now that is looking rather fabulous!

@ShinyS1 you're great, I'd love to be your friend so much fun to be had.

Together with the whatever it is on the wall above, it's now getting to the so bad it's good territory. The lights are a definitely improvement.

The Buddha, otoh, is plug ugly. I'd be inclined to bin him - surely your DH won't complain, he can practice not being attached to things.Halo

Mamarsupial · 05/11/2022 18:47

It is tat without the lights, but with the lights it is fantastic!

Sorry op it's awful

Oh I’m sorry @ShinyS1 my vote goes to the Buddha 😂

But it's burgandy! The worlds worst colour.

I love it.

I'm known for liking bright bold colours.

Loving those lights💡💡💡

Derbee · 05/11/2022 19:13

@ShinyS1 I wasn’t keen. Until I saw the Buddha (that really IS ugly), and the fairy lights. Now I quite like your pineapple 😂

TreesAtSea · 05/11/2022 19:13

Thank you! By the way, what I now realise to be your perfect pineapple is also more than likely your good karma for having valiantly put up with your DH's Buddha!

Madamecastafiore · 05/11/2022 19:16

Fugly Tat!

mamabear715 · 05/11/2022 19:23

I've changed my mind. Seen the buddha.. that's atrocious!
The pineapple lit is lovely!

Schnooze · 05/11/2022 19:23

I think it’s definitely one of those it’s so bad, it’s lovely things. Add me to team pineapple.

I don’t mind a Buddha in general, but that one leaves rather a lot to be desired. Dh is the ultimate CF to slate your taste.

Changechangychange · 05/11/2022 19:29

It would be fine if it wasn’t so big! It looks about a foot tall.

We have a couple of the brass ones but they are mug-sized and fit on a shelf.

Milkand2sugarsplease · 05/11/2022 19:37

I'm afraid I'm #teamtat

However, I fear it may need its own cctv in case DH "trips" nearby and it meets an untimely end....

sweatyannie · 05/11/2022 19:45

Loving the tat with the lights.

No longer tat !

unsync · 05/11/2022 19:58

Lentilweaver · 05/11/2022 18:01

That is the ugliest Buddha I have ever seen. ( Apologies to Buddhists). Pineapple wins! And you can put stuff in it.

Could you put the Buddha in the pineapple? 🤔

Pipsquiggle · 05/11/2022 21:22

@ShinyS1 you're a good egg. Loving all the photo updates

The pineapple is definitely better than the Buddha. The Buddha is bloody awful.

Pixiedust1234 · 05/11/2022 21:45

Now I know why you bought it. Its to hide that fugly Buddha inside. What fun to place it inside with fairy lights and see how long it takes DH to notice his Buddha screaming to be let out 😂

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 05/11/2022 23:44

It's tat. And doesn't go with the decor in your living room Confused

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 06/11/2022 00:54

I don’t like it myself, but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t!

ADifferentKindOfWonderful · 06/11/2022 02:59

ShinyS1 · 05/11/2022 12:39

Yes it's iridescent, I have a better pic (any excuse to show pics of my prize)..

I love it! It looks beautiful on it's pedestal. Congrats on your new arrival. Enjoy! 🍍 🍍 🍍
