Good Lord!
The sight of those in my rumpus room would put a complete halt to any sort of rumpus I had in mind, LOL!

I wonder if there was a matching Barrel shaped stereo console so you could play your Roll Out the Barrel polka LPs. ?
And you'd definitely need a barrel shaped chandelier to hang over the barrel shaped card table wouldn't you think?
And some barrel shaped beer steins

We saw a model home in 1972 with these in it out at Champions on FM1960 in Houston. That was out in the real county then was awfu to us. We ended u buying home in Spring north of the Airport off Aldine Westfield road off the FM 1960 which at that time was 2 lane road. We moved from Oak Forest area,
Will they fit in the back of a Lark Wagonaire?
Those game chairs look every bit as uncomfortable as the lattice-bottom ones found in (almost always mediocre) Mexican restaurants.

their rumpus! With no room left to boot! LOL

One of our neighbors bought the side chairs, ottoman and an end table for their den back around 1972 or so. They didn't look so bad then. But by 1975 or so the backs of the armchairs and ottoman Naugahyde split and the stuffing was coming out.
They were considered cute for the time, but they didn't hold up to use very well. Quite a few furniture stores sold variations on this theme at the time.

I remember those in a Top Value stamp catalog.
Did Penny's have a furniture department? When did they stop selling appliances? The thing I remember most about Penny's was their Treasure Island stores that sort of had the Biblical life span of grass: "In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth." They lasted a few brief years and then closed, probably when the economy went stinko after the oil embargoes. We had one near us that opened in the late 60s. They had everything from tires and gas for the car to groceries that would give gas to humans and housewares, health & beauty, records and lots of cheap clothes. The one by my parents' house became the first Home Depot or the first attempt.
What's more fun than a barrel of monkey's?
Coming up with fun things to say about that lovely barrel furniture.
Can you imagine being on the Wheel of Fortune or Let's Make a Deal and you won that. What the hell would you do?
A: Vomit
B: Clobber Pat or Monty
C: Have an instant heart attack
D: All of the above

I have a 1976 Sears catalog (probably more than one if I wanted to look) that had their variation of barrel furniture with a patriotic red, white & blue for the nation's Bi-Centennial celebration.
Lovely.

Someone that designs things for Pennys has a BARREL FETISH!!Ugly furniture!-This is the furniture you would LOVE to see crushed to staves in the Leech or EZ-Pak RL trash truck!I never saw these-the Pennys I went to mostly sold clothes-guess that furniture was sold from the Pennys catalog?The Pennys store in Greeenville is getting remodeled.Hope that furniture isn't shown after the remodel!
I notice only some pieces in the picture have a bung hole. I can't see any on the lamps etc.. maybe they're just positioned out of sight.
