My mom would crucify me if I had put a drink on that.
No way there would be drinks anywhere near that carpet either.
My parents had that style of furniture - their drum table even contained an actual copy of the works of Shakespeare nobody read. They also had a Magnavox stereo very similar to this one. It was MASSIVE and weighed about as much as a refrigerator. The right side had a tuner and phonograph player, the left side was record storage. It had a remote that worked ultrasonically, blowing air through little pipes when pressed. By accident I discovered I could make it change channels by jingling coins together.
Back when your electronics where furniture and would take a second person to move in some cases. Goes well with the 100 lbs console TV.
When you could afford a house, you didn’t have to move to a different apartment every 2 years…
Can’t even afford an apartment now. Lost my software job and nobody’s hiring. May have to become a dishwasher or something, not sure. Saw a poster for one.
Edit: sorry, that wasn’t all terribly relevant lol
Fingers crossed for you.
Hope you find something soon
Yeah. Thanks :)
Sorry. ☹️ Wishing you the best…
Thanks. The same to you.
Shag carpet never turns brown / grey and gross. It also never absorbs all the cigarette smoke related to that ash tray. It stays beautiful and white forever. /s
This is some niche stoners dream.
Table to roll on and for munchies, dark side of the moon lp. Beautiful design to look at.
Definitely a vibe.
Hey I know those end tables. My dad removed the turntable after it broke and we used them to store magazines and coffee table books. One of them was filled with National Geographic magazines.
Phonograph consoles always had a lid to open, meaning you couldn’t put anything on the top. These flip out and slide out style units solved a real problem.
I never understood why modern phonographs had the lid open, it doesn’t make them louder unlike the Edisons and Victrolas of old and is just inconvenient.
I can smell this picture
1971 was the future.
You sold me at a bowl of shrimps
Shrimps is bugs?
Delicious, delicious bugs.
That carpet. Like a forest.
Shag… Oh my. Both good and bad.
A redditor once said of the 1970s, “I cannot overstate how brown everything was.”
I’d love to have one of those.
Sofa made of toast 🍞
A complete surround wooden lattice. That would have been great fun to apply furniture wax to. Every other month, until it’s a filled in solid wall
