The Hidden Advantages of a Pub Sofa
Massive anticipation of the big game, supping on a brew in your favorite downtown bar with a troupe of your best buddies.
It's not always that easy to get off the leash.
And, anyway, the kids want to watch with you, too.
It's possible to recreate some of that exuberant atmosphere at home now with some pub-style furniture.
Stylish, comfortable and hard-wearing, this luxury addition to your games room, office or den also puts your team colors and logo on prominent display.
Now you can really support your team - while your team supports you! A pub sofa is hard wearing.
You know what can happen when your husband brings his pals around for the big game? Yep, that BBQ sauce sure is hard to remove! They are built to last by real craftsmen with hardwood frame inners, steel spring anti-sag suspension, (OK - he still needs to lose that weight!) and finished in a stunning micro-fiber suede fabric which is coated in Teflon to keep the beer stains off! They also come easy to clean, so your team logo and colors remain the center attraction of the room for years to come.
Finished with Dacron wrapped fabric cushions that are built-in for durability, this is no grouchy old couch.
While the meat is grilling and the brews are cooling you can watch all the pre-match action in lazy-leisure mode.
These pub couches can be the talk of your neighborhood - try keeping an empty house on match day.
(Well, that's not going to happen any time soon anyway, so why not keep them all focused and out of the way!) What other way to enjoy the big game and show pride in your team than sitting surrounded by your own team colors? My Oakland Raiders couch has always attracted attention from customers in the office.
Sit them down on it and it's an easy ice-breaker, immediately giving a talking point that everyone in the state is familiar with.
Of course, it can also provoke some friendly rivalry and distension from those from further afield or out-of-state, which is equally valuable as a pre-requisite to doing business.
Banter leads to barter - that's my motto! Another advantage is that having the local team colors on display in your office can give a less stuffy feel to the place and help the business at hand.
When situated correctly, these furnishings can invoke a playful image, that can relax people and help them loosen up a bit.
Psychologically, it can also act as a motivator, and retain the atmosphere of a competitive edge.
These two factors combine to improve teamwork in the office environment, but creating that spark competition that keeps your colleagues on their toes.
If you're passionate about your team, (and we are talking any sport here - as it's possible to have the fabric in most team colors from MLB to NFL to NASCAR) - this type of furniture can help your life both domestically and at work.
