Glad you opted against the pony, which I think looks ridiculous. I looked at this chair many times before I really noticed the unusual shape of the legs: a trapezium!
ReplyDeletePS: I guess if you're British, it's not a trapezium to you. (Oops) One of those 'separated by a common language things' like how to spell the name of the element with atomic #13, or what a 'pudding' is or what biscuits and jelly are :D
ReplyDeleteHehe yes. It's strange how the same words mean different things in England and America and how we spell things differently.
