Call me crazy, but I said "hot"; why? Funny you should ask.
If you just now moved into an apartment, and couldn't afford to actually furnish it and you just want to sit on SOMETHING while you watch the TV of your new across-the-airshaft neighbor without sound through yours and their open windows (because it's too hot to keep them closed anyway, and you haven't bought an a/c unit yet), while you stare at the boxes all around you and don't really want to perch on the side of your Aero-bed to eat the Chinese food that you had delivered, because you haven't even unpack your only saucepan and go to the store yet... $10 for a place to sit (until you could afford something bigger or better) might come in handy.
Under those kinds of new-to-New-York conditions, I'd say, yes ... it's hot.

That's one chair the cats won't be digging their claws into for very long.

This would look great in the "Sesame Street" apartment from yesterday's post.

There are those that suggest that bad taste and kitsch can be so ironic as to become good taste. Perhaps they would suggest such a thing with regard to this chair.
They would be wrong.

Jeez Curtis, would you go out with my friend? She's hot except for the humped back, two heads, voice like a screech owl, dubious hygiene and kitten-kicking habit. Just kidding (she's already taken).

Curtis - a milk crate would serve the same purpose. Doesn't make it hot.

ok... i'll say it. this chair is OBVIOUSLY (to me at least) designed for children, ages 9 to 18... isn't it? in THAT context i'd say HOT HOT HOT, if the kid happens to find it appealing. who else needs to spend so little on furnishing?
i also can see that curtis has a point.

Recline on plastic during the summer? Not even if someone GAVE me $10. Fugly, as well.
