Reminds me of a "loud" pair of stockings. I like simple and sexy legs no need for all the extra stuff.

I don't care for the pairing shown in the pic, but I can imagine how for a solid color chair or sofa the legs could add some interesting detail, much like throw pillows.

I like it and would probably buy them.

i love loud stockings, and the neon craze, but everything about this picture is hideous. to use colors like this and an idea like this, you need to have Bali psychedelic fun, and not be half-assed with your risk-taking by putting it all on the safest modern setting imaginable.

I like the idea of a pattern on the legs, but I don't like the chair in the picture.

There's something awkward about the shapes of all the legs. I don't mind the pattern, but I do mind the shape.

i wouldn't say no to a sleeker red chair with a menswear suiting inspired pattern on the legs... although, it makes sense in my head but in reality, it could totally suck.

Don't like the combination of this chair and the pattern on the legs. I think rich dark wood, or black legs would be best here. However I think patterned legs could work, but then you'd need a whole different pattern ;-)

Ixnay on the atternpay.

I do like carved legs that are painted, a la Mexican Hacienda style. But not this.

I dislike everything about that chair--the shape, the color, the patterned legs. And if your room wasn't completely minimalist, I think a lot of people would miss the pattern anyway.

Love the shape of the chair
Love the Yellow Leather (and I don't like yellow)

Hate the striped legs - They make the chair look like Edina Monsoon...
