just about to order one. I won't hold my breath though. They dont have to honour mistakes.

CheeseStrawWars · 08/01/2014 21:39

I showed DH and he looked at me like Hmm and says "No. Don't do it." "But its 50peeeeeeeeeeee!" "No. Don't make me take the internet down." Spoilsport.

SundaySimmons · 08/01/2014 21:39

I've had a look, that armchair is hideous!

Although I bet it would be the most comfortable chair, ever!

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 08/01/2014 21:39

Tears of laughter currently staining my current sofa - I NEED my new chair!

Juno77 · 08/01/2014 21:39

M&S website purchasing T&C says...

orders will only be accepted if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or services or their prices as advertised on this Website

So no chairs for us all.

MAYBE they'll be nice and give us all a gift voucher to say sorry or something.

Bit gutted. I kind of want my chair now!

Marrow · 08/01/2014 21:39

Two ordered here. They're so blooming awful though I might designate one for the dog!

MyLeftElbow · 08/01/2014 21:40

Yep, ordered two... My god they are horrible!

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 21:41

'ping' I ordered two for charity furniture shop down the road.

DD1 and DS are giggling upstairs.

DH worried that charity shop won't take them Grin

You know when you go into a MNers house when you have to sit on a hideous beige recliner.

TidyDancer · 08/01/2014 21:41

I've ordered two to be delivered to my DM's house. I'm toying with whether to tell her or not since a) I don't think the order will go through and b) I love evil surprises. Grin

pigsinmud · 08/01/2014 21:41

Ordered one even though I know we won't get it!

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 08/01/2014 21:41

Pmsl at marrows dog with its own reclining armchair

Doodlekitty · 08/01/2014 21:41

Just ordered one, but don't think I'll believe it until it arrives. If it does it will be a surprise for my Mam if she lives it or for the charity shop if she doesnt

blibblibs · 08/01/2014 21:42

I have two on order - think we'll be using beanbags for a while longer though Smile

LadyIsabellasHollyWreath · 08/01/2014 21:42

I love this, but have resisted the call of the fugly chair. Marking place to find out how they word the inevitable email to everyone. I'm suspecting the word "Whoops!" may feature.

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 21:42

Someone in the online furniture department is going to think WTF?! When they get to work tomorrow.

I've ordered one

Will give it to the parents or grandparents

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 08/01/2014 21:42

I ordered one too! There is no way we will get them, I just want to see how long it takes them to realise :o

Katz · 08/01/2014 21:42

Comedy gold!

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 21:43

Mnetters, assume the recline position!!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 21:43

Tidy! I am actually gasping with laughter at you having two delivered to your DM Grin

Is now a good time to announce the launch of my new local (to anywhere) reupholstering business?

I've got a lovely selection of tasteful and hard wearing fabrics, all of which incorporate a subtle little 'mn' on pattern repeat.
