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.

Team Pineapple 🍍(in a non-swinger way!) I don't really do ornaments but it's not as bad as some comments are making out.

I think the detractors are just jealous of your find OP, don't let on where you live!

I'm with DH

I think it’s beautiful

Allverywellwiththebenefitofhindsight · 06/11/2022 19:38

It is hilariously hideous. But there's a lot to be said for a bit of bad taste every now and then.

HermioneKipper · 06/11/2022 19:38

Sweet Jesus. That’s hideous. Sorry OP. #teamDH

If that’s not tat, then nothing is.

Sleeepdeprived · 06/11/2022 19:41

I voted YABU but after reading all of OPs responses I’ve changed my mind and voted YANBU. This thread and your pineapple has brought me joy so now I believe the pineapple is indeed divine

Del Boy would love it! Sorry it’s awful!

wolfmom · 06/11/2022 19:47

Not something I'd have, but, I can see why you picked it up. The colours are lovely

userxx · 06/11/2022 19:47

It's fugly.

I'll place it carefully so that no-one falls on it and are inadvertently asassinated. It will have it's own podium to display it's beautiful aesthetic. Like this....

I think it looks good where it is and would be handy for keeping tea lights in or something. The most important thing is that you like it!

Mrsuntidy · 06/11/2022 19:51

I started off hating it and now I quite like it after all your photos!

Cleopatra67 · 06/11/2022 19:55

Hideous!

Ladyparker00 · 06/11/2022 19:58

Oh sweet mother of Mary that is just awful. 🤣

Pixiedust1234 · 05/11/2022 11:58

Tat, although I did like the shade of blue in the first photo...my eyes were kind of blinded by it 😂

Its a shame its a jar and not a light though. That would have been pretty. Sorry OP!

@Pixiedust1234 a battery powered tea light in this would make your dreams come true!

karenjkayjay · 06/11/2022 20:03

It’s tat but I love it so it’s awesome tat

Hocuspocus99 · 06/11/2022 20:04

Maybe you can put the the Buddha inside the pineapple ! It certainly has its uses

ChateauMargaux · 06/11/2022 20:09

I was wondering if it was possible to put a light in it - it looks fantastic with the fairy lights in - it made me quite happy to see that update!

Idontgiveashitanymore · 06/11/2022 20:11

Truly awful 🤢

Sorry but all I see is:

AIBU to think this is not tat
Lovely13 · 06/11/2022 20:12

Think it’s hilariously gorgeous. Will be a massive dust trap though. But sure it doesn’t care

MrsLighthouse · 06/11/2022 20:15

Personal taste …l’m not a fan, but if you feel happy every time you look at it then it’s a divine thing 🥰

Benjieandjacksmum · 06/11/2022 20:24

It's gorgeous! Definitely not tat although you would have to be careful where you placed it.

Kjpt140v · 06/11/2022 20:26

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I have an opinion I usually say, I like it or I don't like it. I never say it is horrible because that's only my opinion, because others may say it is beautiful.

I love it!

You can put everyone's keys in it when you have your swingers' parties!
