Kilt Chairs!

[Robin]

I don't think those chairs were designed as "kilt chairs"...they're corner chairs.

But...they're handy when you wear a kilt...I personally dislike chairs with arm rests. It's much easier to get seated on a chair without....no pleat battle problems and the pleats on the side can hang like a japanese fan.

When I visit my favorite restaurant (five star kilt friendly) they make sure I get a chair without arm rests.

I mostly sit like the military....knees apart and feet "crossed"

Most interesting to see ... but why do you call them "kilt chairs" ???

Seems to me, the front corner would just make sitting more difficult. Yes, they're nicely done, and are very functional for a corner, but... ?

I've been wondering this since the first time I saw the Robert Burns chair posted here.

And, of course it should be mentioned, but Burns would have never wore a kilt, being a Lowlander.

Of course, since he was in the Lowlands, the Proscription did not apply. And you are quite right, the kilt was for "redshanked Hie'lan rebels". :mrgreen:
