I have two dressers I love but because the drawers don't have railings, they are not really good for daily use( I get so frustrated to open those darn things) so I mainly use them to store seasonal clothes...they are really pretty to look at but I probably use them maybe a few times a yr.

We have two dark brown Wassily chairs that most people avoid sitting in - and we don't care. Despite them being uncozy, they have a family history and we adore them.

I also adore Luna. What a peach!

Oh, you have to submit these Luna pictures to desiretoinspire's regular Monday Pets on Furniture feature. She's hilarious!! I just love the monochromatic bliss of the sofa picture. (and it's a very nice sofa -- looks like an insouciant French piece).

The only piece of furniture I love but don't use is a gold Venetian night table that my husband bought me one Christmas many, many years ago -- but only because the movers broke it during the last move, and we just haven't been able to have it fixed.

Dining room table and chairs. We love them, they're awesome...but we don't eat at the table most nights.

Mine isn't so much a case of it not being used as it I can't part with it (and replace it) because there is so much sentimental value attached to it.

It being a dining room set given to me by my parents. I was with my mother when she purchased it when I was five. It was already 50 years old then - making it about...well a lot older now.

It's in my dining room which I actually use as an office/studio. A desk would be ever so much more practical but I can't part with the dining room set and have no where else to put it.

Luna makes a very good expressional model.

I have a victorian red velvet settee and a matching chair that nobody sits in. They are not comfortable. And because I have pets, they now reside in the guest room. But they were my great-grandmother's wedding present (to her from a family friend), and so I cannot bear to part with them.

We also have a small decorative writing desk my husband bought as a present for his ex wife. It's surface is too high and small and it has a drawer with a decorative piece below it that make it totally uncomfortable to use, but... I cant same to ask him if we could sell it.

On the flip side, we HAD a huge round 60's style mod white velvet chair that was so cozy yet so ugly, Id bought it in college at a garage sale for $15. EVERYONE fought over that chair. I considered pitching it for years, but instead last year invested in re-upholstery. It's now Tiffany blue with brown leather piping, and it's the jewel of my livingroom and STILL the most popular seat in the house.

I have an old recliner that I rescued from a friend who was going to throw it out. I love it's looks and have kept it for years although it is a bit fragile for sitting and the recliner support is broken. It's mahogany wood with rust brown seat and a small black footrest. Well, the same recliner showed up on the cover of the Design Within Reach catalog - it's a Milo Baughman (turns out it even has an original label underneath). I suppose it's worth getting it repaired after all.

almost all my furniture goes unused. I live alone, and when I'm by myself, I sit on the floor :)

Annie.42, ha I thought I was the only one to do that. My cat took over the chairs, futon, desk, and table while I sit on the floor reading, eating, or watching tv.

The great thing about the Wassily Chair is that it doesn't have a lot of visual volume that might "fill" a small space. I love mine and it makes a great divider between my living room and dining room. I also find it very comfortable and my son uses it for his "gaming chair." Wassily, the official chair of XBox I guess.

We had a Wassily chair for years, and shuffled it around from room to room, trying desperately to find a space it looked right in. It just had too big a footprint for the layout of our 19-century house, and we realized that we never ever sat in it--it wasn't at all comfortable. We sold it and instantly felt free... No matter how beautiful something is, if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

My first apartment (sophomore year of college, DC, 1980, three roommates) came with a couple of Wassily chairs, and I was so impressed. "Wow, why do people call this building a dump? Look at those fancy strap chairs!" But they're uncomfortable. Nobody would have sat in one for more than five minutes, but if the sofa was full there was nowhere else to sit. They were "The Piece of Furniture We Used But Never Loved."

Now I have inherited my mother's writing desk, with beautiful marquetry on the drawer fronts, and a "tiger" of woodgrain in the veneer on the one-piece roll top. But you can't fit a laptop on it, and I don't write letters every week the way I used to. It's good for storage and it was the only piece of furniture I was ready to fight my siblings for, but I don't "use" it.

You should definitely show some more house photos! It looks beautiful!

Gosh, that dog is a squishable muffin. I have a chunky male dog who sleeps on his back like that.

The only untouched piece of furniture I have is a throne-like, high-sided chair with hand-turned pillars and original wood castors. It belonged to my grandparents, and was an antique when they got it. I've had it upholstered a couple times in the kind of expensive, fragile fabric that won't hold up on furniture that gets regular use, and I display the chair in a corner where no one would likely to sit anyway.

I don't have any pieces of furniture I love. Wah-wah, everyone cry for the poor little girl with an apartment full of leftovers.

I have four white Joe Colombo Universal chairs in storage waiting for their moment. We were using them as dining chairs, which I really loved since they were a nice contrast with the dark burled wood of the dining table but they were trumped by heirloom pieces we inherited from my mother-in-law. I miss them everyday.

I have my perfect vintage Eames Lounge Chair that I never, ever sit in. Instead, I curl up in my Ikea POÄNG chair. Its just so much more comfortable.

I have a large (5') Lovesac that is comfortable, but is low to the floor, and hard to situate for reading/lounging. I never use it. Sometimes my friends do, but rarely.

My husband's grandmother's rocking chair. I find it dreadfully uncomfortable and it makes for a tight squeeze in our smallish living room. Guests avoid it because it looks like it would collapse if an adult sat in it. I really wish a niece or nephew would come to the house and ask for it. Going to another family member is the ONLY way he'll ever part with the chair.

We have an Eames style rocker that never gets used but looks darn good.

My Paul McCobb Planner desk and chair. I love the way it looks but am usually on the sofa with the laptop.

@Chad W: Strange; I sit in my vintage Eames Lounge all the time; it's fantastically comfortable.

Right now my GF office chair has been relegated to loved-but-unused status. My worthless computer desk is too short for me to fit my knees under when I'm sitting in it. I'll get rid of the desk before I get rid of the chair, though.

I have a Heywood Wakefield loveseat that I never sit on. My cheap foam Ikea sofa is so much more comfortable that the spring seat of the Heywood Wakefield even tho' I love its lines. I keep thinking I should sell it and buy something nicer than Ikea that I'll actually use.

I love my Barcelona chair (reproduction, alas) and ottoman, and never sit on it. But the reason I bought it was to artfully use the space in a slightly over-sized bedroom. (There wasn't a lot we could do with the modifications to the floor plan of our house, when we built, so the "twin masters" are both bigger than we really needed or wanted.) So I think of it as "sculpture" and sometimes the cats nap there.

I also have a chair in the home library nobody ever sits on. The room is almost a hallway to the upstairs, we have to pass through it to use the staircase. My computer resides there as a home office, and I do sit at the desk, but to make the room psychologically make sense, we have a recliner and ottoman very similar to a Poang (a "reading" chair.) However, the living room is only a few steps away so we take our books there where we sit far more often...

So both items are more for looks than utility, and the room would seem vacant without them. Love the Barcelona, don't love the other one but I'll keep it anyhow.

Unlike the adorable Luna, our dog, Lola, LOVES our Wassily chairs. Before Lola (BL in our household) the chairs sat handsomely side by side with their backs to the window. Not any more. One is still positioned that way in all its cool urbane elegance, but the other is turned sideways, shoved right against the window glass, and covered in pillows and an old quilt so Lola can spend the day keeping a watchful eye on the street and barking to let us know if a truck goes by. Apparently, she considers this her job.

I love love love my Wassily chair, but, sadly, it goes unused mot of the time. It sits in an awkward corner and looks beautiful. However, when guests come over it gets pulled to the center of the room. My mother and I fight over it, it is just right for our scoliosis.

Sigh. Yes, my favorite squishy chair + ottoman, painstakingly upholstered in a print that would fit perfectly in Don and Megan Draper's apartment, is also my cat's favorite chair. He claimed it with his blankets of shedded fur, so he gets it.

I have two Wassily chairs in my living room. They look lovely there but are so uncomfortable. I want to replace them with comfy chairs but haven't yet found anything beautiful and comfortable to replace them with. So, there they sit. I would never give them away - when I find replacements, I will have to squeeze them into another room. They are so pretty and have such sentimental value.

Pretty much every thing in my living room. My house has a family room, and that's where we hang out the most to watch TV. The only time the living room gets used is when I have company over.

I have a rocking chair that I love to look at... but just about never sit in, because the arms on it are kind of high and you feel like you're hunching your shoulders when you sit in it!

We have a knock-off Wassily that my roommates and I refer to as "the chair no one sits in"--but when we have a big party and need as much seating as possible it comes in handy, and I love the way it looks. Funny that so many people here have the same Wassily problem!

Not sure about furniture but I have this old snare drum in my hallway that I can't seem to get rid of..it's been years, I almost can't imagine the space without it. Luna!!

How much for the dog?

We have a corner chair (angled to fit into a corner, so that you're sitting over a point). It's a beautiful piece, but no one has ever sat in it unless every other seat was taken. It's more comfortable than it looks, but we'll probably eventually sell it.

I was concerned that my old desk that I refinished (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/before-amp-after-claras-twoton-143880) would go unused and be a waste of space, but my daughter just discovered it this week and loves it. Yay!

That describes my living room. I live in my TV room, so the only time my living room gets used is when I have company.

I have a bubble-gum pink upholstered MCM rocker that was a $20 Goodwill purchase a couple of years ago. I love it so much, but I can't seem to place it in my house anywhere. Now we are moving and I can't find a place for it in the new house either. Since the new place is smaller, I am going to have to bring myself to get rid of it. :(

yeh I have an original Eames lounger that I restored and it lovingly sits in the corner.....occassionaly if I am feeling decadent I take it onto the balcony and sit on it and watch the boats go by.....but as this is England the weather obviously stops me doing that very often!!!

You know, I'm so taken with Luna that I forgot what the article was about! That dog is so precious. I just love those smoosh-faced dogs!

Why keep furniture you are not using? Either get rid of it and get the extra space or buy something more functional. It's really that simple. Stop decorating to please the current fad.

we have a pair of movie theater chairs that don't get much use. they're a bit sentimental and very "us" (not a "fad" piece of furniture), and yet, the couch is more accessible, and of course, more comfy. but the movie seats do get use on the rare occasion our small apartment overflows with guests. and i know we both plan to give them prime location one day, along with a reupholster and paint job. money and space constraints force us to wait, luckily we've had space enough so far that there's always been room for them, even if it's pushed up against the far wall

please please tell me what couch that is???
