Celtic Tiger Crimes against Interiors #4 Chrome furniture addiction

I think we all jumped on the bandwagon with the chrome craze of the Celtic Tiger. We couldn't get enough of the stuff. Paired with clear or black glass this material was everywhere, from TV stands and work desks to dining tables and even beds! Its gleaming reflective surface was the contemporary material of choice and was considered sophisticated, fancy and super stylish. I'm afraid those days are gone, certainly for us anyway. We can't even handle a chrome kettle in the canteen let alone anything else-for us chrome furniture is a cold, harsh material completely lacking in personality and should be buried alongside the Celtic Tiger and left there for good. It may once have been cool to display your fancy game consoles and expensive dvd players but thankfully not any more. So, do you have one of these bad boys at home? 

How about one of these? Sleek, contemporary and stylish or cold, clinical and dated?
