This ugly chair came from the City of Champaign Public Works Department
 

Somebody actually sits on this one at Rental City every day!

"This chair has been in daily use in the business for over 30 years. Granted its hidden way in the back so nobody but us will ever see it. It started out at a bookkeepers desk, but is now been relegated for use by our mechanic way out of sight. In fact its for his benefit that we've entered the contest. Poor guy needs a better seat!" -Daniel C. Kemphues

 

This one is from Family Services in Champaign.
 

"I am submitting this photo of my chair for the Ugly Office Chair Contest. I have used this chair for 17 years, since I first began my teaching position. All my other co-workers have lovely cushioned chairs that they purchased on their own. They have encouraged me to enter your contest in hopes of finally replacing my `antique'."" - Pat Elliot
 

"This old ugly chair is actually being used by our receptionists. The 1970's orange stands out like a sore thumb against our burgundy and grey color scheme."

To Whom It May Concern:

You are in search of one ugly office chair
One you wouldn't find just anywhere
Put it in a bosses' office, one wouldn't dare
This one is so ugly, even a witch would get a scare
Tried to get rid of it by shoving it down the stair
Now it is all distorted and shaped like a pear
Tried to paint it purple, you know, to give it some flare
Then all the neighbors gave it a stare
You'all can have it, I just don't care
Please see attached photo of our UGLY chair

Thanks,
Lora Judy
Whitsitt & Assoc., Inc.
