Typical shaker chair might have clean turned legs, ladder back, cloth taped
seat, a lady can carry it with one hand. Typical mission chair looks like
it was built by a bricklayer, heavy fumed white oak stretchers and splats,
requires two men and a boy to move it.


I'm partial to the Shaker style of design myself. I like your
description of the typical characteristics!
