Excellent! Showed this to a friend; her comments: “this philosophy makes sense to me…build really good chair in the area they will be used, pay local workers a fair wage and have availability for local repairs…seems like it’s a win all around really…really nice…
it’s great to see how one person can make a difference on so many levels…imagine??
$220 for a good chair that will last…
