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.

Definitely tat... But Tatty Divine if you like it, OP.
Have the confidence to buy and use what you like.
Who the hell matters buy you..I'm sure your husband has some stuff that you don't like. :)

Edit ''But you'' not buy you.
Why no edit buttons on MN?

ALongHardWinter · 06/11/2022 18:49

It's a show pineapple.

Sorry. TeamDH here

Biddie191 · 06/11/2022 18:55

It's absolutely glorious, divine tat! Especially beautiful with the fairy lights, it's the sort of thing I'd have in the house because it's just so naff that it's wonderful, if you know what I mean!

This is an interesting development in the history of the MN 'stunt pineapple'.

I quite like it. For me, it sits in the category of 'divine tat'. 😁

Cam22 · 06/11/2022 18:57

Sorry - it’s absolutely hideous.

recklessgran · 06/11/2022 18:59

This would keep me awake at night - it's vile and I'm sorry OP but I couldn't give it house room in my gorgeous cosy nest........

Crankley · 06/11/2022 19:01

I can only assume the OP is on glue - it's a monstrosity. I dread to think what you consider to be tat if not that. 😁

Even if you paid me I wouldn't have it in my house.

RoseBucket · 06/11/2022 19:03

It’s a talking point, like these expensive Sculptures, some will love it, others not so much.

Have you found the TK Maxx horrors page on FB? They are your people

blueshoes · 06/11/2022 19:03

That Buddha is hideous. I come from the Land of Buddha so I know what I am talking about. I take the luminous pineapple any day.

PS OP, the pineapple does not really go with the rest of your decor, which is lovely and calming.

Rabidturnip · 06/11/2022 19:04

Ugh gawd no. It’s monstrous OP

Zone2NorthLondon · 06/11/2022 19:04

Sparkly tat. Blingy and nasty, plus pineappple leaves aren’t blue. Hope you didn’t pay more than £5

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

I completely and unironically love it. The iridescence is just the icing on the cake. I hope it turns out to be something really expensive so your husband has to concede that it was a bargain

SpinMeRightRoundBabyRightRound · 06/11/2022 19:09

The lights and it being positioned beside your DH’s choice of decor has swayed me, I’m changing my vote and moving to team pineapple.

Harmonypuss · 06/11/2022 19:09

Before setting it I was thinking of the pineapple I've seen on This Morning and that one nowhere near as bad as yours, but that's just my opinion. I wouldn't give it house space but we all have different tastes. I'm on #TeamHusband

mamaduckbone · 06/11/2022 19:09

It's vile! But if you love it, then it's beautiful to you.

Zone2NorthLondon · 06/11/2022 19:12

In fairness it’s the house of tat,Is that a gingerbread house on bottom shelf?Retro coaster eugh

myfaceismyown · 06/11/2022 19:17

Delboy would love it! YABU from me

BettySwallocks · 06/11/2022 19:18

Top tat

Topseyt123 · 06/11/2022 19:19

Not my cup of tea. Team DH here.

anneofgreengablz · 06/11/2022 19:20

One of the worst things I've ever seen, but if you like it, why do you care what anyone else thinks?

Thegreatestdancer · 06/11/2022 19:22

I think it’s brilliantly bonkers and I would admire you for having it in your house. I love it. Not tat.

Put ice in it for your pina coladas
