This is a comfortable chair for reading, relaxing, or chatting. The chair skeleton is like the popular Garden Chair but here only the arms and front legs remain visible. The interior is made of inexpensive woods and the upholstery webbing and foam covers the interior structure. Students will be using common upholstery techniques along with innovative fastening methods to assemble the chair. A great combination that will produce this beautiful chair that can be used in many different places within the home in or Florida room.
