    Default Be honest.

    Would you buy this?

    I sure wouldn't. Not without a LOT of cushions anyway.

    Not at that price.
    I'm sure its worth it, but that's quite a lot of cash for a chair.

    It's not as uncomfortable as it looks. They had one set up at the GDC last year...

    Still, I wouldn't buy it because it doesn't have the qualities I look for in an office chair... And it's expensive. My chair at home was made by Serta. They make beds... The chair is quite comfy. It wasn't the cheapest, but it wasn't expensive either.

    Not even at a fraction of that price. It doesn't look at all comfortable and it doesn't go with anything in my house. Maybe I'd consider buying it at material cost, but even then I'd be buying it for the material so I could melt it down and make something useful, assuming it's actually made of at least mostly iron.

    If I had a house or apartment that could fit it and I had a lot of money (or it were cheaper), probably so. It's not so much a chair as an ornament of sorts. Memorabilia. It doesn't need to be practical.

    I'd pay the iron price for it.

    If I had that much money to throw around on what is essentially junk, then I'd consider it, although I was disappointed to discover when I first saw it that it wasn't made from iron (as much sense as it makes that it isn't).

    It is pretty cool, but it'd be a reasonable way down my list of things to buy even if I became rich enough to afford it.

    Entertaining as I find the idea of purchasing the Iron Throne, no. I never really liked the way the show visualized the throne to begin with; there's no way I'd pay that kind of money for a fiberglass/resin mockup of one of their props.

    At that price it would need to be made of actual high-carbon steel battle-ready swords.

    And then I wouldn't buy it, because I don't need a chair made of swords. But, y'know, if I did.

    I feel entirely "Meh" towards it. It doesn't appeal to me, it doesn't look comfy, and the price tag is absurd.

    I would not buy that. There's no situation in which I'd want it in my home permanently. I'd also much rather have a car at that price. Or a down payment on a home.

    Nope, I wouldn't buy it. Who wants the seven kingdoms anyway? They're like, the crummiest kingdoms in the entire GoT world and half of them aren't even loyal at this point anyway.
