Seating is a challenge to get right, but good design is everywhere.Â* The

Precisely. My wife and I were on vacation one year and wandered into an
Amish furniture store. I found an attractive dining room chair, sat in
it, and immediately got right back up. It was uncomfortable. A chair
at the next table looked very similar but sitting in it was a pleasure.
When we returned home we looked for 3 years to get that feel again at
the local Amish furniture stores. It tool that many years to find that
right fit again and we bought 6 all wood chairs. Most every one that
sits in them really like the fit.
