If the guy actually bent the plywood, too much work for too little
gain to my mind.

It's a commercially produced rocker. It's not "bent plywood", it's
just laminated. Apparently "ply-bending" is the latest buzzword for
that technique.

I just took another look, noticed the pric this time. $820? For
an ugly chair made with "recycled" seat belts? And ugly to boot? Hah!
Not in this lifetime.
It may, or may not be comfortable, but either way, looks like it would b
a bit of a struggle to get out of. I do not see that plywood as being
bent. I would say curved cuts. Apparently one of their ad people once
saw a bentwood rocker - either that or is an ex politician - or is
planning to become a politician. Hmm, I could probqbly get used
seatbelts from the junkyard for free, or next to nothing, and maybe $5
worth of plywood. Let's see now, that would give me about a $815
profit. Not bad for an anternoon's work.
