umm okay, so is it wrong that I have one...sans the arms and back, but I keep the lid flipped down and use it as a side table next to my futon. Visitors are usually like ohhh neat, what is it?

Mariposa- (if you get this) I have a BA (curently working towards an MBA...one day) in Historic Preservation with a focus on architectural history, analysis, conservation and presevation. If you have any questions about getting into the field or courses you should take feel free to email me at ragdolledwahine@gmail.com. It's good to know there are others out there who want to and are willing to preserve these structures...
