If you have one how do you like yours. I have a space that will suit one perfectly but wonder if I will like it or if it will be an unhappy purchase.

Thanks @lolakimono. I had no idea that's what those chairs are called.

A friend has one of these chairs in her living room. they are beautiful, and "call you to sit in them. I did choose it at a gathering, and felt like a queen holding court!

The problem came when I found that people sitting in extra chairs (pulled up to seat more guests) couldn't see me and unless I sat forward on the edge of the seat, I began to feel left out of the conversation.

If you can place a balloon chair in a corner where the sitter only looks directly out at the room I think it would be OK. For me however, I never chose that chair again!

A friend of mine has two of them. I think they're gorgeous. When you're sitting in them, you can't really have a conversation with anyone to the side of you.

They look pretty, but they're not practical.

To be really honest, these call to much attention to themselves. I think they overpower everything in the room. But then that's me and I am very opinionated! LOL!!!

I noticed one of the QVC sets has a couple of them. I don't find them attractive at all.

Your take.

I plan on purchasing one and it will look very nice in it's new home.

It's a Massoud Balloon Chair. They're over $3000 for one.

They kind of have a shape that reminds me of the blow dryers at the hair salons where you sat under them and they blow dried your hair fast.

Not a good look to me. I like ornate but not these.

Although I don't care for the look, and it is not my taste or style, I do believe in the right setting, this chair would probably look very nice!

Rules Of Engagement had a funny episode featuring those chairs.

Yep!

I don't like these at all.

Not practical or appealing in my opinion.

Strange, but would be a good conversation piece.
