He even made up a song that said, "Illya Kuryakin is the nicest man in the world." :) (And he'd wring my neck for telling that on the Internet, but I won't tell if you don't.)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-33643752953254776522011-07-14T15:35:21.330-05:002011-07-14T15:35:21.330-05:00As i mentioned earlier, I grew up seeing star trek...As i mentioned earlier, I grew up seeing star trek (it was telecast in the late 80's and 90's in india )..and loved all the tiny LEDs glowing all over the place and the yummy chairs int he show :)/.oh yes, how could i forget the teleporting equipment..my brother and I used to play Trek all thetime..made our own "phone" thing with two match boxes and an elastic band..lolSudhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987412242044006509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-80058099248086899132011-07-13T11:40:23.123-05:002011-07-13T11:40:23.123-05:00@I dream lo-tech: I'm sold too.

It looks exactly as you said...like they sawed the legs off and plopped it right into the middle of a base they had constructed. I'm still trying to figure out why they left the walnut arms exposed.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-28524829426591121612011-07-13T11:01:17.343-05:002011-07-13T11:01:17.343-05:00@Rhan: From everything I've read, they were tr...@Rhan: From everything I've read, they were trying to create a set on the cheap, so it stands to reason they'd use inexpensive existing items where they could and not reinvent the wheel. Burke and Madison were not high-end furniture companies by any means, so they would have fit the bill.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-10508846699792959772011-07-13T10:57:29.772-05:002011-07-13T10:57:29.772-05:00I'm convinced, they're one and the same!I'm convinced, they're one and the same!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-88073089718901858542011-07-13T10:57:29.182-05:002011-07-13T10:57:29.182-05:00@DearHelenHartman: I find the pop culture aspect i...@DearHelenHartman: I find the pop culture aspect interesting too. How could an art director in California find a rather unremarkable chair made by a small furniture company in Mississippi and turn it into such an iconic piece of Star Trek memorabilia that people are willing to pay a fortune for? <br /><br />I'd love to see the picture of your husband in Kirk's chair, btw. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-74305091156183817012011-07-13T09:05:26.064-05:002011-07-13T09:05:26.064-05:00OK, they are the same chairs!

How can they not be influenced by them right? Who knows.
