<p>[QUOTE="Lisa, post: 80286, member: 569"]AF, you are too funny! I can't help but laugh at your explanation of the highboy. Frankly, I feel somewhat similar about the piece. I have had to look at it in 3 sections in order to see it's beauty. Personally the most grotesque part are the legs. I don't find any beauty in them. In fact, when I look at them I fear they are going to start running at me and attack. The 2nd part is the middle; which I find stunning! The 3rd part is the top, which I find the craftsmanship to be amazing with it's detail. But I stare at it and wonder how on earth anyone ever thought the top part blended with the middle. But then again, I am often told I have a very different sense of style.</p><p><br /></p><p>The part I have loved the most about it is how much STUFF I can hide in there and my house still looks neat and tidy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the good laugh ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
