That chair is clearly a very young 76 years old.

Just as the Queen of England’s furniture comes with a hook for her purse, do Madigan Chairs come with a pocket for a Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp and required cutlery?

would look good in a retirement home - as would MJM

Guess Madigan is color blind?

The Madigan Chenille Chair - Smoke, for when you miss those smoke-filled rooms.

Floral print practically screams “moderation.”

Um, I’m pretty sure that is the Shirley Madigan chair.

I thought the “First Bill” coat looked bad…

This was right in style in 1983.

These chairs feature our new, patented, soft but firm memory foam technology which we have trademarked under the brand name “Velvet Hammer.”

These are knock offs.
A real Madigan chair would not be available online.

This chair, which few will find attractive, will dominate any room in which you place it. It is incredibly endurable and will withstand years of abuse.

I think Mapes just put in an order for 66 of these.

Don’t judge a chair by its cover…

The ottoman is just as chic…

Review from Amazon shopper Carhartbillionaire - Zero stars — I got this chair for the sitting room of my 6th house — almost immediately this chair caused the plumbing system in the house to emit dirty water. The chair caused the electricity to malfunction. All the food cooked in the house after we purchased this chair was rancid and fattening. $1,000 bottles of wine tasted like Hi-C. The clocks started running backwards. All because of this chair.

As a recommended complement to the Madigan chair please see our Rauner coffee table and companion end tables on p. 21.

Guaranteed to be the longest lasting chair you ever own.

Looks great next to a rotary phone.

It doesn’t have cushions, it has “buffers”.
Comment by m Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:45 pm
For those uncultured, it’s pronounced “Ack-sent” chair in “Shi-Cog-O”. Make sure to look up customer reviews by T. Soprano and others.

Wait. The Speaker is short? Seriously never thought of him as short. Does he only stand near other people of small stature. Apparently I’ve never seen him standing by Rob Uhe for comparison purposes.
