We had a few of those growing up, as well. I think that they have some charm, and being able to sit on or lean against one on a cold day is nice and comforting. If we had an old house with those, I'd probably want to keep them just for that charm, but I'd want to put in radiant floors in addition, if possible.

I would get home at 5 or 6am, just exhausted from a long shift, but even so, I would be too disgusted to collapse in bed and I'd have to take a thorough shower, first.
