Nonono, it’s fine, see we’ve bought these half-inch thick cushions with quilt effect that have these little string on them that tie onto the backrest, so stop complaining and eat the Grey Meat and with Beige Vegetables your Grandma spent all day making somehow.

The soviet equivalent, AKA the Fingercrusher. Fuck that thing

The “absolutely nobody” meme was originally supposed to highlight somebody making an argument for something that obviously nobody had ever felt the need to argue against.

It was usually a very obscure argument about something that nobody else had ever thought about, or the visual version where someone created something that didn’t need to be created, or it could be an argument about something that is so obviously true that it is obvious that nobody would ever try arguing against it… And that’s it. It doesn’t really have any use outside of those two narrow areas.

It barely made sense as a meme in the first place and of course, it was immediately misused by the vast majority of people who used it and just mindlessly tacked it onto anything because it was the popular meme at the time. I was so happy when people stopped using it.

not cool until you sit at this table eating your cornflakes with added nicotine.

the chairs were really comfy, but held onto any grease from the kitchen.

Not only did we have this table, my parents donated it to our first college apartment, and then I dragged that stupid thing around for ten years until my father was like “oh you still have this thing.”

Yeah I thought it was like some heirloom, but apparently it was actually something they bought from a yard sale when they first got married and kind of hated for 18 years.

My family got this set off craigslist to replace an objectively better dining table set that just needed to be refinished. Tried using cushions with them, but they were still a bit uncomfortable.

Saying that, the OP set would unfortunately be quite the upgrade compared to all the MDF and engineered wood that’s so common nowadays :(

I present you the German equivalent, the coffee table named Fliesentisch

You guys didn’t have pillows on your chairs?

Lol, you can still buy this dining set brand new. Multiple companies made pedestal dining sets (like broyhill and thomasville) that were decent quality:price, which is probably why they were so common.

Isn’t this incorrect use of the “nobody-meme”? Also can’t remember seeing any such table in any home during my childhood and I’m a 90’s kid

Humm, I grew up with chairs like these:

My ex and I had this table set in our first place. Except it had 2 chairs and a bench, which had 2 of those chair backs on it. I hated that fucking thing.

absolutely nobody had this table?
