Crooked Chair
November 22, 2006 by Vurdlak
Our visitor Rona submitted this. If you take a second, and look at the chair picture, you will understand what she ment: "I was looking on google for chairs for my project, and found this. The chair looks like you're looking at it from the front (which you are) but if you look closer, it also looks as if it's from the back! And that it's a bit crooked. It's not photoshopped. Cause I don't have photoshop... I know it's a bit plain, but I like it! I always go on your site! 'Cause I have your Google gadget on my google personalized home, of which I go on everyday..and I check your illusions! Amazing stuff. I like the one with the water drops and the background...Well, you don't need to know about that. I hope you like my illusion!" - I do like it Rona, and thanks for your submission. We had some chair illusions in the past, check stereograms section for chair stereogram, magic chair illusion, and one not so similar, but really famous - Scheibe effect.

great post. took me a few seconds to get it. if the shadows werent there, u would have a legit illusion, great find. cool illusion
LAME
verry nice...i like
It was a little hard for me to see it as if from the back. I had to cross my eyes a bit... :)
simple yet alright :)
i dont see it....?
how is that even possible?????
Kinda dumb. But I could see how someone could look at it the other way -- but no more than endless other objects that you can easily tell the correct perspective with a second glance.
Woah... that is the coolest thing ever.
I first couldn't find the trick, but when i did, I was AMAZED.
I love my optical illusions widget :D
What is crooked about it?
It looks wierd.
it looks more like one of thoes double sided illusions where different people see it differently
i like this effect
i dont get it. it looks like a chair
It took a while to see, but very cool ^^
eh eh, i get this one
That's a nice one - at least.
Where's it's last leg? To me it looks like a 3 legged chair. I have to say, it's pretty obvious that the illustion is made with the shadows and nothing more.
Very nice i like
borat rules buddy
NICE! I LOVE IT! ITS VERY CONVICING!
I could see the chair from the back and front but it is actually the front that is showing in the picture. The reason it looks like you are seeing it from the back is because you are seeing the reflection.
its just a F%$#&^% plain old chair
it looks really good if u look at it a little from the left
That's cool !!1! When you squint your eyes the chair turnes into a FORK!!1
WoW!
I keep trying but I still don't see it!
look at it from the left and aglin the sadow with the leg
This picture is actually taken from front, not from back. Look at the shadow/reflection. It won't appear like that if you look from back. This is indeed taken from front side.
i got it a missing leg
The chair is not crooked. The 4th leg is hidden behind the opposing leg.The angle the photo was taken at and the way the light hits causes the shadow to almost line up with the actual back posts. If you cross your eyes a bit or do the magic eye blur look at it the illusion appears and dissapears, it's a pretty o.k find but indeed it is just a chair.
I love this!....The shadow reflection of the back (BARS) of the chair give it the effect that makes you able to look at it and see it from the front and the back!...love it!..*WINKS*
slightly odd but pretty goo, even taking the legs (some are curved) into consideration
stupid and lame, makes no sense
Vincent Van Gogh did something like that in his "potato eaters". if you look at the chair in the bottom left corner you will get (almost) the same effect. try googling "van gogh" or "Potato eaters" (or boath).
kindda lame but its okay i guess,,,,,
Cool.
I don't see nothing wrong with this chair........wait a minute.........
