Is this Zebra Chair Too Realistic?

Is this Zebra Chair Too Realistic? "We prefer to get our chicken cutlets cut up and packaged neatly so as not to have to look at the poultry as something that once walked the earth. Ditto with beef. We love a good leather chair, but again anything too realistic (think "cow print") can give us the heebie-geebies..." Folks at Apartment Therapy ponder this piece of purrniture.

I'm supposed to input a capcha just to answer a one-click survey on some random website? Forget it; I'm way too lazy. (And yet, I'm not too lazy to complain about it on a completely different website. Go figure.)

That tail hanging down isn't too practical, but it is pretty cool. Here's more zebra furniture and accessories plus African wildlife mounts, full-pelt fox comfortors, game skin pillows and more. And for the kiddies there's this, which I find oddly disturbing.

I don't think the bristles would be too comfortable.

I will never be able to see the attraction with using animals as ornaments and furniture.

I wonce had an acquaintance come into my house, pet my rabbit and say "Wow, he's so soft. No wonder people make them into coats!" *shudder*

Too realistic? No. Does it violate the practical guidelines of good chair design. Yes.

Wow that's just a really fugly chair. But I always bristle when people choose to ignore the fact that humans have to kill things in order to eat, and make furniture. Sorry to be harsh, but that's moronic.

I like it. But I also used to have a full zebra skin up on the wall that my Grandmother shot on safari in Africa in the '60s, so maybe I'm not the right person to ask.

Man, I was really expecting the head to still be attached and the feet of the chair to have hooves. Yeah, it's got the mane and the tail, but that just baaaaaaarely makes me think "This used to be alive" when I see it.

I'm a big fan of dead animals for decoration. Animals are really weird and interesting to look at and while they are cooler alive they are easier to maintain when they're dead. For a while I had a stuffed fox, what I liked about it was that it was a fox that died of natural causes and had really uneven fur and rotten teeth. It looked wise and mean. Girls really hated that fox, it scared them but I still wish i had it.

My new goal in life is to drink something out of a squirrel decanter that I have to remove the head to pour from. Thank you cenoxo.

Folks at Apartment Therapy ponder this piece of purrniture. Shouldn't that be furneighture? Either way, it's horrid. Not because it looks like an animal, but because it's just tacky.

No, no, this saddle bar stool is what you call "tacky".
