Oh, o.co, you slay me

I've never bought anything from Overstock.com (or o.co as their new commercials tout), but of course I have been doing some browser-window shopping lately.


Among the items on my list, some sort of red chaise lounge/sofa bed to go in our office/den/guestroom combo.


I am a huge fan of the Lubi Daybed from CB2, but it's a bit more than I wanted to spend and it only comes in gray and green.

I just love that it functions as an extra bed too! And it doesn't look too much like your typical futon. 

Anyway, I came across this item on Overstock instead, called the Anise Red Convertible Chair / Bed. Still as functional, in the right color, and cheaper. What's not to love?


Well, if nothing else, this review absolutely sold me on it. I must have read it and re-read it at least 5x.

Unfortunately I am guilty of working in the online advertising business so I guess I'm partially to blame for this poor guy's lament. I honestly can't tell if he's joking or not. But if people like me didn't work in the industry we work in, then people like him wouldn't have to sleep in their offices and buy furniture and write amazing reviews about them. So brazeltov, I am sorry for stealing your clients but I am very thankful for your candid review, and I'm sure Overstock is too.
