The Ikea of Red Hook is a magical place.
No, the store itself is a big box full of crap that sheep still fall in love with. It’s the little parkland that they opened up down on the old docks that is so full of magic.
More specifically, these giant metal lounge chairs!
After walking the four miles to Ikea from Downtown Brooklyn, and then through the vomitorium Ikea itself, my legs were up for a break, and as welcome a sight as these lounge chairs were, they were made of metal and sitting in the hot sun.
Metal + Sitting In Sun = Burning Hot!
Despite knowing that the surface would most likely burn me to the touch, girlfriend and I wanted a seats so bad that we had to touch them just to see how hot they were in hopes that we would only receive 2nd degree burns from them if we sat down.
Surprise!!!
The metal that the chairs are made of it MAGIC!
Like, for real Harry Potter magic!
The metal chairs and tables felt as though they were a cool 65 degrees. Plenty cool enough to not only lounge on, but also actually help cool us off.
PLUS! The chairs are magically large. I’m talking two people wide, with room at the end near the feet for a St. Bernard to sleep.
It’s MAGIC!
