I am now the owner of a pair of swivel lounge chairs by Burke.
I had absolutely no intention to buy them. I decided to clean out the guest bedroom. I wanted it to be an actual bedroom instead of my junk storage. I either donated or threw out the majority of stuff. Anyway, I wanted something to put blankets in. Like a cedar chest or credenza or something neat and mid-century looking. My quest turned up nothing but somehow I ended up with two Burke chairs in my Jeep.
I probably paid too much for them, but they do look good in the spare room. They don't hold blankets very well, but I found other storage space.
Things like this don't come around too often around here. Kansas seems like a 'cool vintage furniture and appliance dead-zone'. It's hard for me to find good mid-century pieces within my budget. Even estate sales are slim pickings. If overstuffed sofas and black laquer glass top end tables were my thing, I'd have a treasure trove.
Here's a picture of one of the chairs. It would have turned out better if I could figure out how to hold a bloody camera steady.
