These chairs are fit for both James T Kirk AND Barbarella! I got the set of 4 chairs and the table for a steal! My friend has the table to go along with some other Chromcraft chairs she has. The vinyl makes me think of a wig carry case or beauty salon chairs. Just a shampoo set today? Or do you need a big bouffant? I think you know the answer. I remember seeing one on the original Star Trek set, does anyone know the episode???

What Allee has to say about this:
I have one of these chairs in green vinyl. To see a set of four, in excellent shape no less and in that kooky late 60’s vinyl pattern, is truly breathtaking! And how incredible that you also have the ad. Of course, anything named to Sculpta with the tagline “go for a romantic Chromantic 66 ( and 67, 68…)” catapults straight up the ladder of Kitsch.

I’m noticing many other things in your photo that you should submit to the Museum. The linoleum with the feature stripe made even better with that patch of shag carpeting on top of it and the glass bottles against the wall for a start.

Here is the original ad from a 1966 McCalls magazine:
