    Does furniture count as an accessory?

    http://www.centuryfurniture.com/prod..._Item=LR-18069

    I saw this while I was looking for a picture of the Burns chair. I kind of like it!

    Comments, concerns, etc.? Let's face it, most modern furniture is made for "those guys" (i.e., those guys in trousers). I'm not sure if the lowered "arm" is quite low enough---but it seems like a step in the right direction.

    great looking chair.

    I may be blind, but how much is this chair? I didn't see a price.

    Nice chair, but it's got to be a small fortune.

    I saw this on the page...

    Discovered in a old gentleman's club in England, Century's left and right facing occasional chairs are the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cocktail. The low arm was designed for men wearing kilts to…[MORE]

    Prester John,

    Don't click, just hold the pointer on "More" and the rest of the info will show.

    Very interesting chairs, though.

    In theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.

    If anyone can give a bit of history of these chairs or the logic I'd be appreciative. I can figure out the Burns Chair and the benefit of the side entry but this chair with a low arm doesn't seem logical. They'd have been better off leaving the low arm completely off. As it is, the lower arm is more in the way than anything.

    What is "one leg over" ? If it's crossing your legs, I still don't follow how this design is helpful.

    this design is to enable a man with a kilt on to sit, legs spread with sporran resting between them( as is seen ina great many kilted photos).
