What was this Upstate NY / Vermont TV Commercial?

May 12, 2017 8:58 AM

I'm trying to remember a commercial from the late 80s early 90s for a furniture company that featured a man sitting on a chair shaped like a giant wooden hand. What was the name of the company?

Could it have been Huck Finn's Warehouse? I remember that commercial and I remember constant ads for them, but I might be conflating the two.

Best answer: Pretty sure that was Nat Lash from Town & Country furniture in Burlington, VT, but I can't be sure. I'll ask my dad when I talk to him tonight.

I also was going to say Lash, but from Lash's Furniture in Barre VT (probably owned by the same people) I do remember seeing it on TV though growing up. Lash's furniture closed quite a while ago (like late 1990s) so I doubt you'll be able to find it on youtube.

Confirmed with my dad and a couple of other long-time locals here in the Burlington area: It was definitely Nat Lash from Town & Country Furniture.
