Please note the colorful stretch terry coordinates. Holy crap, pajama party? I think these guys are ready to party poolside.
Dig it, man.

I just.... there aren't... I can't....
Is this gentleman wearing a shirt? A fur vest perhaps?

Not that people don't use barrels for this sort of thing now. Step into many wineries and you'll find an updated version of this. I just don't think I want it in my breakfast nook.
So you see, in many respects (not all, I think?), we simply have low standards. Of course the 80s were fantastically revolutionary in music, but perhaps a better descriptor is responsive. The 80s were incredibly responsive. I mean really, take a moment and think about the 70s. What does your mind conjure up? Yeah. Of course, I didn't actually live in the 70s, but I fully participated (was indoctrinated?) in the 80s. Yes, indoctrinated. It fits much better.
My apologies for the rambling crap. That is all.

I dunno, there were some pretty hip, fab and groovin shirts from the 70s. Bell bottoms are better than stonewash. The barrel table for $415, though... taking into account inflation, that's well over $1000 for a really stupid looking table.
