Am I a sad git to think that this looks rather fabulous?

[PrincessPeaHead]

I envisage myself lying in it with a book while also "supervising" sandpit activities

but it is rather grannyish

whaddya think?

and it is called "Adrian" which really doesn't help

oh no, its lovely, Ive been wanting one of those for ages.

oh this is rather nice too, it doesn't swing but I could do the lounging and book bit

yes tenalady, but your name doesn't inspire confidence that you aren't in fact an old git too

are you 97?! reassure me please

on a practical note - don't know how the white will look after a British Summer, probably grubby.

No, quite like it

Although I agree calling it "Adrian" was probably a mistake. But at least it's not "Keith" or "sandra"

I'd like one, but there wouldn't be any room left in my jardin

well it is cotton so washable...

at those prices.

What a great site! Really nice furniture. I need some new garden furniture, and just can't aford it at the moment.

Adrian is probably a deeply trendy name in Italy where this co is from

Maybe they should have called it Hadrian ha ha ha

hmmmm

What about "Madison"?

it is seriously good, well made stuff lynette

prices actually very good for that quality (although I take your point)

pmsl, Actually I am a middle class Yummy Mummy, I just market myself on here as an old git to get away with murder!

fabulous and flame proofed too! what the hell is sanforized.

i owul love one

think they both look beautiful, but am not so sure they would be comfortable enough for entire afternoons of lounging (i like to put my feet up)

nice to perch alongside a friend or two with glasses of pimms steadily arriving all afternoon though

Think Adrain lokks a bit more comfortable.

Howevere, I agree with the point about the colour being impractical - it would be covered in muddy hand prints withing seconds here at chez Walrus

The only downside is that my kids would want to be swinging on it themselves rather than playing in the sandpit and leaving me in peace!

he he he I know
it was the juxtaposition of my fear of "grannyish"ness and the word "Tena" that got me

Adrian looks fab. However if I had a spare £1300, I doubt I'd be slinging it in his direction...

but it is for summer use, and on lawn, so muddy handprints not really likely (although obviously dripping ice lollies etc are a given). grass stains perhaps. It doesn't have to remain pristine as long as it remains comfy

I am seriously tempted

my dh wants one (reminds him of his childhood), how cheeky would it be to get it for his xmas present 6 months early? hahahaha

I have a 10% discount
which makes a tiny improvement in price
it would last forever
etc
etc
etc

think it's lovely

but have you considered this as a very sensible alternative?

oh god it looks like it would tip backwards if you sat in it

nd that is one of the many hideous things that one could say about it

adrian is suddenly looking jolly rugged and suave

No not sad at all, I think it looks lovely and could very easily sign up to a summer of sitting on it with children playing at my feet and a nice cool drink to hand

hee hee
