Formally, I find them a bit top-heavy and clumsy; entirely reliant on the embroidered image for appeal. I am not a fan of retro-kitsch, which is where I place these.

I would feel slightly unerved leaning back on it. I do like the overall concept though. Is the wide easy like chair comfortable? I would feel slightly unerved leaning back on it.

The embroideries are hilarious and excellent, but nobody has commented on the coolness of the chairs themselves-- the white 2001-curved back angled magically up from the simple stool. Sheer witty goodness. Mook, I'm sorry this caught you on a bad day, but now you look like a jerk and that's your problem.
