http://www.dukewood.com/Item.asp?ItemID=8
This would go nice on the yacht, as a deck chair. JOAT I must be over the hill, 'cause I'm starting to pick up speed. |

And are those long bolts and cap screws holding it together? Why are the base rails tipped like that instead of flat to the floor? My butt hurts... so I'm looking closely at chairs. Too much sitting in uncomfortable chairs focuses the mind quite well on the problem. Anyone out there ever sit in a "Morris" chair? Is it comfortable? -- I can find no modern furniture that is as well designed and emotionally satisfying as that made by the Arts and Crafts movement in the early years of the last century. |

I think those chairs are mostly meant for use in bedrooms, primarily as places to sit and tie one's shoes, etc. Morris chair comfort seems to me to depend on the upholstery. If that's good, and not overly thick, the chair is comfortable. If the upholstery is too thick, you tend to slide (it's usually leather, IME), and if it's too thin you bang yourself on the wood parts. |
