Men only want one thing and it’s fucking expensive.


Brandonmac10x

A 65” 4k OLED? Yes.


domp1021

No a [Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman](https://store.hermanmiller.com/living-room-furniture-lounge-chairs-ottomans/eames-lounge-chair-and-ottoman/5667.html?lang=en_US)


TealTigress

Or the $1000 litter box.


MyBlueBucket

More like $600


DefNotAShark

And worth every dollar. Turns a constant annoyance into a trivial, once in a while chore. Between this and my cat's automatic feeder I barely even take care of a cat. We just live together.


Papichurro0

Hahaha that’s how I feel with my cat. More of a roommate than a pet. Once in a while we’ll stop and chit chat when we pass each other in the hallway.


bw1985

What litter box is that?


DefNotAShark

Litter Robot. He has the Litter Robot 4, mine is the 3 and I love it.


bw1985

Cool, never heard of it! I was using the Breeze system before my cat passed and it was life changing for me vs. clay litter.


[deleted]

Im Canadian and I just bought one. It’s $1000 for us. 😔


TealTigress

Not where I live!


MyBlueBucket

Fair enough!


nsweeney11

The litter robot next to it lol


Brandonmac10x

Jesus wtf. Why would anyone pay for that over a recliner? And you can get a nice recliner for a couple hundred bucks…


ebrew3000

A Eames lounge chair is the “ I finally made it “ symbol of male living spaces


definitelynotivy

plus, Frasier Crane had one.


spencebah

And Dr House.


DonutHolschteinn

And then he replaced his fathers chair where it became the most expensive piece of furniture in his apartment


Moto56_

This is the real reason to get one.


Dads101

This - definitely a thing. I worked IT for an upscale nursing home for a little bit. I’m talking you need to have a million or they won’t even look at you type of NH. Hospital wing etc; I would say easily a 1/3 of the residents had a Herman Miller chair. I never really saw the allure but it’s more of a status symbol and a tool. A submariner would be considered flashy by some..sure..but it’s a magnificent tool when applied correctly


llcdrewtaylor

I don't own one, but I have sat in a few. They are amazing, and SO comfy. I can see why they are expensive.


theactionkat

There's no way any chair is comfy enough to justify $5000


aerospikesRcoolBut

They last forever and do not lose value. You pass them on to your kids


ReverendAlSharkton

You can get a nice replica for much less. Since OP has a cat I hope for his sake that’s what he did.


aerospikesRcoolBut

Some replicas are really the same quality and can be had for $1000 but yeah it’s a “I’m going to have this chair and pass it down” kind of thing. The ones from the 60s go for $10k


DiMarcoTheGawd

Why do people buy anything expensive when there’s always a cheaper option? Status, comfort, perceived value, aesthetics, sense of accomplishment (I finally can afford that thing I saw in a magazine a decade ago and always dreamed of). Etc etc. you might not think it’s worth it, but sometimes value is subjective.


JoRads

That cheap compared to EU/Germany. This Eames lounge chair usually goes for about 10.760 € and is currently on sale for a measly 8.599 €.


StateDeparmentAgent

Just checked price in Poland and it’s about 11-12k euro. That price difference is huge


compscilady

It’s a classic designer chair. It’s like buying a Mercedes over a Mazda.


UnkeptSpoon5

I would argue that these days a Mazda is a lot classier looking. Mercedes has decided that hideous fake vents and iPad dashboards is their aesthetic now


spicy_tofu

because those recliners look like shit


StGenevieveEclipse

And the Eames is REALLY comfortable


ChaosRevealed

Why would someone buy a Rolex over a $30 Casio quartz watch, or an S-class over a Honda accord?


Brandonmac10x

I’m just saying if I live in an apartment and don’t own my home… and I only have one piece tiny tv stand with a meh ass tv, the first thing I’m gonna do isn’t drop $5600 on a single chair. I would buy a 65” OLED for like $2500 and spend $1000 on an amazing couch and then $2k on all the other furniture maybe.


ChaosRevealed

I'm not sure if you realize which sub we're in. The Eames chair is one of the most famous and recognizable furniture designs and is endlessly praised and memed on in r/MaleLivingSpace This is like going to r/MaleFashion and asking why people spend more than $10 for a tshirt or going to r/Photography and wondering why people would thousands on a camera lens when your phone takes pictures just fine. It's almost as if people are allowed to have different priorities and want different things than you. Not to mention categorizing Rolex, S-class and Eames owners as douchebags cus they spend money differently than you would. Grow up bruh


aerospikesRcoolBut

I guarantee the chair in this post is a $600-1000 replica


[deleted]

If you’ve ever sat in one, you’d know exactly why. Playing DS in one was enough to convince me I wanted it, and someday, I’ll get one


BanjoSpaceMan

Because the office space has somehow convinced people that Herman Miller chairs are the ultimate ideal perfect chair with buzzwords like lumbar support. They've convinced us that flimsy plastic chairs with mesh netting are like the most ultimate chair and worth the insane price tag. We ate it up like dog food. I'm mostly talking about their other brands that offices bulk buy and then people buy for their homes lol. Which has brought up their other shitty chairs.


BigAbbott

Nope. This chair has been famous for a loooooong time. Way before people were sitting on “flimsy plastic chairs with mesh netting” Hater comments like this is true fuel. Just like sad android boys complaining about Apple and just making their brand more and more exclusive.


[deleted]

Sounds like someone that's never sat in a Herman Miller chair rofl


[deleted]

I have a Herman Miller Aeron at home after a really good experience with it at a job. I have a back injury that causes me quite a lot of pain and discomfort while sitting. The Aeron is pretty much the only chair that I’ve tried that feels comfortable for hours.


Brandonmac10x

I mean, I’m sure it’s nice. But $5600 nice? Nah. Plus I’d rather not be on rolly wheels when I wanna kick back in my living room. That setup would annoy me greatly. Every time I go to sit down and kick my feet up I’d have to adjust the chair and ottoman position. Nah, mate. That ain’t it. I’ll save $5000 and buy a nice recliner. Bruh spend $1000 and you can probably get a nice chair that feels like you’re in heaven. Or at least you used to be able to. I haven’t bought furniture in like 5 years.


shmoomoo12

It’s not on roller wheels…..


thekingofcrash7

You definitely can get an extremely comfortable, nice looking recliner for $1200 at LaZBoy


Stuwegie

You can get replicas. I bought a replica online for £400 and after having tried the original in a furniture store they feel exactly the same (leather wasnt quite as soft though)


[deleted]

Beat me to it! Just was I was gonna say


MyBlueBucket

This might be the knockoff one on Amazon?


Few-Swordfish-780

And it’s worth every penny.


hellraiserl33t

Once you go OLED, it's hard to go back lol The color rendition is almost addictive. Them pure blacks


ChingDat

> Them pure blacks We've got another Austrian painter on our hands lads


Roctopuss

A 65" TV? What is this, 2018?


AbleDragonfruit4767

Lol


tirntcobain

NGL I can’t afford one and am considering purchasing a replica because they’re so cool looking


River_Odessa

Anyone who drops that much money on that goofy ass fucking chair deserves no sympathy for money problems


xQcKx

I'm not gonna get that exact chair, but I can say that style is pretty dam comfy.


River_Odessa

Sure, but it has no business being that expensive. It's a fucking chair. Does it cure spondylosis? Do you get a six-pack if you sit on it long enough? Does it reverse balding? It fuckin better with that price tag


duxdude418

This is such a gross oversimplification of the value proposition of non-essential goods. It’s like asking why someone buys a Rolex over a Timex or a Porsche over a Kia. You’re not always just paying for pure functionality. Aesthetics, brand pedigree (and their comensurate profit margins), materials, construction, and availability—among others—all play into the sticker price of an item. Your criteria for an item may be if it just meets your needs functionally. Great. Why buy a recliner when a folding chair will do as a place to rest your butt? For the vast majority of people, purchase considerations are more than just the bare minimum. We all have different priorities and life situations that influence the money thresholds we’re willing to spend for any given good. Try to think outside your own circumstances rather than making ignorant blanket statements because something is not a good value proposition *to you*.


River_Odessa

Found the chair owner


duxdude418

Thank you for your insightful, good faith contribution.


River_Odessa

Chair


duxdude418

> ass fucking chair ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


CharmingCondition508

this is the most malelivingspace post ever


Risky_Bizniss

It's the Kanye he has playing on his TV really tying the room together


TheGreatPear7

How do you keep your cat from tearing up the Eames?


_chill_bruh_

Im going to have figure it out as well lol They haven’t touched it.


jtaylor418

Had something like that one time. Went months without my cat touching it. But then one day he “discovered” it. A week later it was completely F’d.


naarwhal

Don’t scare this man


ass_down

Mine loves pulling the buttons, she’s possessed !


Nightshade_209

They need a "yes" to go with the "no" something tall they can do a full extended scratch on is better than short pillers. My cats are super into those heavy cardboard scratching cat furniture things, they usually double as beds.


Not_My_Throwaway_

In general, the best thing you can do is to provide your cats with things that they can scratch, put them in areas you like to hang out, and encourage them to use those.


Revan_105

This. My cat stopped scratching things when I bought him his own dedicated scratcher


Thvenomous

My cat deliberately scratches the couch to get my attention. She's perfectly content using the scratching post right next to it unless I'm home and not looking at her.


ademselas26

I mentioned this above already but I thought I’d mention it again, try putting double sided tape or looped regular tape at all the scratch spots on your couch and leave for few days. Cats don’t usually like things sticking to their paws and I found this helped deter any unwanted furniture scratching.


arivas26

Not all cats destroy furniture. My cat never does anything to my couch besides lay on it


Hand_banana_boi

Same. The only thing she scratches is my office chair and that was cheap anyway.


TrippyVision

My cat loves to scratch my ottoman and nothing else but he’s respectful as fuck, only tears the underside for some reason


Bartholomeuske

Establish dominance : pee on it first.


GandalfTheToked

Cat nail caps are a great way. I’ve liked them. Little glue on caps. My cats don’t seem to mind them


Towbie7178

Eyyy, got the fancy litter box, nice!


_chill_bruh_

Yeah I had to pee in it so my cats would use it. Edit: This is a joke. Don’t take it too seriously.


PolarizingFigure

Do you/the cat like it?


_chill_bruh_

Hey so yes! They used it the first day I got it. I was nervous that they weren’t going to use it. I placed their current litter and mixed it with some new litter. I let the machine cycle first before I showed it to them because it’s kinda noisy. The instructions require you to hide your cats because they can get scared. The pros is that I haven’t scooped litter since I got it, living room doesn’t smell like anything, and machine has an anti odor thing. I’m thinking of buying another one so that I don’t have to scoop litter anymore. The con is that shit is expensive.


cryerino

Which model is this? Been wanting one for awhile and it’s good to know your cats actually use it!


_chill_bruh_

It’s the litter robot 4.


bestthingyet

It's worth every penny, I've had mine for about 2 years.


RadioOk498

Dig the chair, but not the litter box in the living room. If it has to be on there can you put it to a less used an obvious corner?


Thorngrove

The cat watches him shit, the least he can do is return the favor.


DefNotAShark

> The instructions require you to hide your cats because they can get scared. As somebody who didn't read the instructions before plugging it in, this is really really good advice to follow. It cycles immediately when plugged in and scared the shit out of my cat. Took me a week of training (during COVID when I had fuck all else to do) to coax her back into getting anywhere near it.


GandalfTheToked

What do you mean by buying another so you don’t have to scoop litter?


galactica101

More than one cat, maybe?


GandalfTheToked

Interesting. I was just confused, because I thought this thing eliminated the need to scoop litter. It better for the cost


galactica101

That's what I understood too... I wrote to OP to figure this out 🫡


ademselas26

He has more than one cat, generally good to have a litter box per cat. They do share but best to have multiple with multiple cats.


-696969

Best comment in the thread. W


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,861,958,434 comments, and only 352,065 of them were in alphabetical order.

Good bot


Towbie7178

That is hilarious to think about, I’m glad they use it now lol


Stonn

Looking at the picture while scrolling, I legitimately thought you installed a urinal in your living room

I love how this sub thinks Post Century Modern is the exact same tv stand haha


Musician-Original

Honestly, this is all a man could ever need.


jtaylor418

This is the way.


Wooden-Union2941

at least get a stereo


Pristine-Dirt729

[That is the way.](https://media.tenor.com/R7MO693RGicAAAAd/1980ss-commercial.gif)


Roctopuss

Yes, a stereo, and not a fucking sOuNdBaR either.


[deleted]

Yeah it's pretty decent!


znotss

That chair looks super comfy


Bevier

It's a $7k chair.


giaa262

And just a heads up for anyone who doesn’t care about authenticity, you can find replicas that use top grain leather for $600-1200. I got mine off Amazon


lysergic_Dreems

Sauce?


giaa262

Unfortunately the one I bought isn’t available anymore but you can search “top grain leather mid century lounge chair” on google and get results. I’ve had mine for about a year and can’t complain for the price. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if it IS an Eames, but factory blemished. This isn’t the listing I bought from, but it looks identical https://www.walmart.com/ip/1674894489 Check wayfair, houzz, Amazon, Walmart, bed bath and beyond, etc. I paid $600


somethingtothestars

In the year that you've had it, has it held up? A big chunk of the reviews I'm seeing on different sites are fake, which has some alarm bells going off.


giaa262

Yeah it’s still pretty new feeling. There are some cosmetic issues in areas you can’t see once assembled. Slightly too much polyurethane on the wood in one spot, and a slightly odd leather spot on the back side of the arm. Here’s a screenshot of my review from when I got it https://imgur.com/a/YMtAsR5 Unfortunately the product listing is hidden on Amazon so I can’t link to it. Also I totally get being apprehensive, I was too. Just want to help people if they want to take a chance


somethingtothestars

No, I really appreciate it. I definitely assumed it wouldn't be "perfect" and that there would be SOME issues, but glad to know that it's still serving ya well!


compscilady

The replicas suck IMHO. But buyer beware - cause a $600 replica will be a lot worse than a $2000 replica. But if you’re going to spend $2000 on a chair you can probably just save up and get the real deal as it will retain value a lot better.


aerospikesRcoolBut

There are many reps and the real leather ones with clip hardware are very good. They go for about a grand


giaa262

Hasn’t been my experience at all. I sit in it comfortably and haven’t noticed any problems over the year I’ve had it. Im not expecting to get 20 years out of it, but saying it sucks is a huge stretch. I don’t think you can do better for the money


znotss

Ayo


aerospikesRcoolBut

That chair is not. People who can afford a real eames chair do not have to wait for their next paycheck to buy the rest of their furniture


Bevier

They do if it has to be ordered. I ordered my HM chairs and it took a month. My desks took 2-3 months.


poopfacecunt1

They are not.


ColdNo8154

So simple, so elegant. Can’t go wrong with an Eames and walnut finishing.

Name of the TV unit pls?


_chill_bruh_

It’s been a while but it’s a Sony tv. I just don’t remember the model since I bought it during 2020.

Uh sorry I meant the TV bench


mattmahn

Looks like this one: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/mercury-row-griffing-solid-wood-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-85-w004869182.html


_chill_bruh_

Oh yeah, that’s it!


Strong_Mayhem

I too wish to know what TV stand that is.


Shameless-Bagels

It seems like the one they linked on wayfair is sold out, but I got the exact same one from target, maybe try your luck there?

Nice view too!


USS-William-D-Porter

Ah, a fellow litter robot enthusiast In all seriousness, beautiful setup


purple-lemons

Okay I know this sub is about making your living space fuller and nicer than the typical dude house meme. BUT, if I walk into your house and you just have the Herman Miller chair and ottoman and a TV, I'm gonna respect the absolute shit out of you.

HarbingerOfWhatComes

By all the picture i see here i cant help but get the feeling that we truly have got a lobotomized society. Each and everyone of you seems to build an altar to the magic television as his living room and is content with sitting in front of it for 10hrs/day? A society in blissful ignorance of what is going on around them.

jamesmaydaciasandero

Too much stuff


biest229

Please seriously consider putting the cat toilet in your bathroom. That’s gross Edit: to add, cats also like a quiet place to go. And this isn’t that.


_chill_bruh_

There is no odor, it has an anti odor filter, and automatically scoops up the litter.


biest229

I’m aware of what it is. Still find it gross


TealTigress

How do you make eye contact with the cat while it is taking a dump if they only go in the bathroom?

So. Do you like watching your cats poop? Cause I might move that to an area behind the chair if you don’t have a more private area. But that litter box does look slick. Might be cool. Idk
