I thought 95 was a good deal, and then I realized that was CAD and it's actually about $77USD... If I wasn't in need of a dining table and bed frame (I have to have priorities), I'd totally buy this right now!
It'd make a nice little seat by my wardrobe, and I'm sure my cat would love it. :)

Keyword here is "petit" - it's 13" high and 13" wide, i.e. toddler furniture, at best. Still, if it wasn't "temporarily out of stock" and if they had shipping to the US, I might buy one.

The problem with culling from the blogosphere is that one can be a little 'late in the game'. Saw this awhile ago on another blog and it has been out of stock for weeks.

very cute. I'd love to see a *slightly* larger version (it is in the kids section). 7" off the groung would leave my knees at eye level.

It's cute, but it looks like a patio chair to me.
