Rachel breaks Joey's chair (Rosita) so she buys him a new one; meanwhile Chandler thinks he broke it, so he replaces it with his own identical chair. Joey believes the chair miraculously healed itself, so Rachels keeps the new chair. is jealous, so he breaks "his" chair so he can have Rachel's. Mr. and Mrs. Geller are selling their home so Ross and Monica go to pick up their childhood things. Ross's are fine, but Monica's have been ruined by flood water. To make it up to her, Mr. Geller gives her his Porsche. Phoebe takes a job as a telemarketer and her first contact (Earl) doesn't want to buy anything because he's planning to kill himself. Phoebe convinces him to keep living. The one where they said....Rosita does not move. Joey: As in, "Rosita does not move." Rachel: Joey, it's just a chair! What's the big deal? Joey: The big deal is that it is the exact equal distance from the bathroom to the kitchen and it's at the perfect angle so you don't get any glare coming off of Stevie.
Rachel: Stevie the TV? Mr. Geller: Well, I don't know what's in the boxes down here, but I do know there are six or seven Easy Bake Ovens in the attic. Monica: I used to love to play restaurant. Ross: Yeah, not as much as you used to love to play "un-cooked batter eater." Monica: Hey, it is unreasonable to expect a child to wait for a lightbulb to cook brownies! Phoebe: I'm hearing what you're saying, but at our prices everyone needs toner. Phoebe: May I ask why? Earl: You wanna know why. You wanna know why? Phoebe: I surely do! Earl: Okay, I don't need any toner because I'm going to kill myself. Phoebe: Um... is... is that because you're out of toner? Chandler: I think I should get the chair! Joey: How do you figure? Chandler: Because you broke a chair and you broke a chair! The only one around here that hasn't broke a chair is me! Rachel: No, no, no! This chair's not going anywhere. Chandler: Well, where's the logic in that?
Rachel: The logic is that there are two of us and we are both strong enough to break a chair in half!Chandler and apartment is located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. The apartment served as a regular setpiece, but in terms of the show's main action, it was not as central a setting as Monica or . It acted not so much as a gathering place for the six friends, but as more of a sanctuary for its two residents, where they could drink beer, watch Baywatch, relax in their barcaloungers, and play games such as foosball, video games on a Nintendo 64 or PlayStation, 'hammer darts', 'fireball' and the less-popular 'ultimate fireball'. It was also the home of and the entertainment unit. It was generally a mess, in stark contrast to Monica's apartment, which she always kept neat and tidy. Finally, it was considerably more modest than Monica's apartment, and was considered generally realistic for two men of average income to afford in New York. The apartment was a testament to Joey and Chandler's lazy lifestyle.
When their kitchen table broke, rather than replace it with another, they instead purchased a foosball table and resolved to eat over the sink. When Chandler's bedroom door was accidentally sawn in half, it was left that way until Rachel moved in, even though it consistently tripped Chandler up. After Rachel moved in the crack in the door was still there but the door was glued together; Joey probably fixed it due to Rachel being pregnant and not wanting to injure her. The guys' apartment is the only place, other than Monica's apartment, that all the friends have lived in; The only relatively consistent decorations in the apartment were a framed picture of Laurel and Hardy, statues of The Three Stooges, the two reclining armchairs, the foosball table, a poster for the 1914 French silent film and novel Les Mystères de New-York, a large white plastic dog that Joey had acquired whilst working on Days of Our Lives and a Magna Doodle on the front door, on which little jokes were often written.
The black and white Laurel and Hardy picture is actually a photo still from their 1928 Leave 'Em Laughing. There is also a Scarface poster in Joey's room, as well as a great Guinness poster. The apartment was refurbished rarely but substantially through the series; in The One Where Ross And Rachel... You Know , Joey took the chance to acquire a big-screen TV and a couple of black barcaloungers. These remain in the apartment until The One With The Cat, when the guys are robbed of everything except for the white dog and the entertainment unit built by Joey. During the first part of Season 4, the guys' apartment contains rusty patio furniture which Joey and Chandler had found downstairs (they also later acquire a small TV). After kissing Kathy, Chandler re-furbishes the apartment with a new entertainment unit (one which opens and closes with a remote at that), a new big-screen TV, a stereo, and two new brown barcaloungers. Although Joey decides to send everything back after learning about Chandler's kiss, the guys make up and eventually keep the furniture.
In late season 4, while Monica and Rachel are forced to live in the apartment, Monica tears out the carpet and replaces it with hard wood flooring, which remains even after Chandler and Joey switch back in. It's not before the sixth season that Chandler separates the barcaloungers to take one of them to his new apartment at Monica's. By the seventh season, it is known that Joey has given names to his furniture and decor - his barcalounger is named Rosita; and the TV is known as Stevie the TV.When Rachel breaks Joey's barcalounger 'Rosita' she gets him a black La-Z-Boy E-cliner 3000. is when Joey decides to build a place for the mail. However, he decides to take his construction "to the next level", and evolves the place for the mail into a fully-fledged entertainment unit. By the end of the episode, the entertainment center is ready and Joey and Chandler set it up with the help of their friends; the center is so wide that it covers the doors of the bedrooms. Although Chandler highly disapproves of the unit (mainly because its construction phase was characterized by a series of accidents in which he ends up with a varnish lid stuck to his pants and almost gets his face drilled by Joey), he puts up with it through the , by which time the unit also becomes a home for .
