kopykatkim writes: I'm not sure but I think maybe my Dentist had a chair like that back in the old days. No not really but he had the mentality of that chair. He actually slapped me across the face because I was crying. Now do you think I like going to the Dentist? NOT!!!!!! But it is still a great find, kind of creepy, I hope you turn it into a great place of relaxtion.

You need to do something RIGHT AWAY to make it look like you could stand to sit in it. Although I would have snapped it up in a second...it is rather frightening. Maybe a comfy cushion and some Novocaine would help? Posted: 2:25 pm on December 13th

Take care,

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Sheesh! No wonder why people are scared to go to the dentist. They must have an inherited trait of fear due to these chairs!

Great find.
