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.

Turn it upsidedown

Complete tat. I love it.

Fill it with a string of battery operated lights. It will be beautiful.

ShinyS1 · 05/11/2022 12:01

I paid £8 for it, a bargain! At least there's a few people on here who have great taste 😁...I was going to show this thread triumphantly to DH, but maybe not, ha.

I mean, it's tat, but if you love it then I'm happy for you 😀

SmileyClare · 05/11/2022 12:02

shame it’s not a light

ooh could you put a set of white fairy lights inside?
Embrace the Abigail’s party vibe

gianfrancogorgonzola · 05/11/2022 12:02

Oh my. Not a fan, sorry OP.

SavingsThreads · 05/11/2022 12:05

Stop making us look at it 😂

Lentilweaver · 05/11/2022 12:05

Tat but the stalk is a really lovely colour!

ofwarren · 05/11/2022 12:05

Tat

MrsLargeEmbodied · 05/11/2022 12:05

does it light up?

Somanysocks · 05/11/2022 12:05

Be prepared for it to be accidently knocked off the table.

TheOnlyMrsB · 05/11/2022 12:05

It's not only tat, but it's ugly tat

ShinyS1 · 05/11/2022 12:06

Oml, 168 votes and 90% say tat???? Maybe the grey overcast weather is clouding peoples appreciation of obvious beauty. That's what I'm going with anyway.

£8 !!!!!! When you are spending money on books for £1 meals?

That's not the famous MN stunt pineapple, it is an assassin pineapple. It will lacerate your wrists as you lean over the coffee table and have your eye out as you reach for the remote.

Re-home immediately.

astronewt · 05/11/2022 12:07

It's definitely... kitsch, but I quite like it. It would work as the kitsch centrepiece to an otherwise pared-back decor 😉

CPL593H · 05/11/2022 12:07

I hope I'm usually "each to their own about decor" choices but honestly OP, that is repugnant Grin

thefamous5 · 05/11/2022 12:07

It's revolting tat.

And I bloody love it!

stayathomer · 05/11/2022 12:08

If you love it it can’t be tat surely? Is tat not useless rubbish?

IntrovertedPenguin · 05/11/2022 12:08

It's very um... unique!

pigsDOfly · 05/11/2022 12:09

Goodness!

When I clicked on the thread and the first photo popped up I found myself reeling back slightly.

Definitely tat.

poorbuthappy · 05/11/2022 11:56

It's wonderful and I would have bought it too. Actually I'm off for a charity shop bimble later so will report back if I get anything as glorious

You have exquisite taste, I'll keep my fingers crossed you find a pineapple beauty like this one, definitely keep us posted.

NemoNotThatOne · 05/11/2022 12:10

It's horrible but I can see how it might work if your taste is for kitsch.

TheVelvetOnion · 05/11/2022 12:11

Tat, sorry Grin

Chikapu · 05/11/2022 12:11

It's gloriously tacky. Does it fit in with the rest of your decor?

mileaminute · 05/11/2022 12:12

MIL would love it, pineapples are lucky apparently.
I have however seen on tiktok they're code for swingers? Don't put it in your window (or do, whatever floats your boat)
