Those icky chairs...

I should not complain about free furniture, but I will. Free, meaning, it is cheaper for the govt to furnish our house than move our own furniture overseas - which makes sense, I agree with the idea... but how about casual, informal furniture for families with small kids, and leave the high-backed dining chairs with white upholstery for those who do more formal entertaining .. you know, a selection would be good... But no... so, the first thing I did was buy seat covers for everything and we've made do. So have the kids, and you know, high-backed chairs make for awesome fort building!!
