would it be considered good etiquette to saw it in half?

Question

I'm having a guest over for dinner tomorrow, but i live alone and only have an arm chair.

suggestions required, thnx.

Answer 1

Bring your bedroom set into the living room
or a couple of milk crates

Answer 2

Throw some cushions around on the floor and sit on those, you and your guest can both sit on them or you can let the guest sit in the chair. Do you have a table to eat on? If not, sit on the cushions and eat at the coffee table if you have one. Or you could just sit on the cushions and hold your plates, just don't cook anything too messy or that will roll off the plate.

Answer 3

Buy or borrow another chair or put a bunch of pillows on the floor and make a cozy floor-space that you can have dinner on.

Answer 4

It would be better etiquette to invest in a second archair failing that ... Remove your armchair and both you and guest can sit on the floor! LOL

Answer 5

LOL, well, you've got some time to go out and buy another chair, or you can always pretend your camping inside and buy one of those fold up captains chairs, oooohh wait you can go asian style and use pillows and sit on the floor.

Answer 6

Hmm.. quite the prediciment!! My question is why would you have someone over for dinner if you didn't have the appropriate place setting for them? You have no table? If you have a table, then buy a cheap chair somewhere for them. If not, I recommend eating out.

Answer 7

Make it a buffet - stand up dinner
or sit down on the floor comfortably against the wall

Answer 8

Although I haven't read it, John Sheirer has a book named "Free Chairs". If this doesn't help, I'd go for the picnic theme

Answer 9

Buy another chair....or you both sit on the floor.
