Chairs
I'm not sure why, but chairs seem to be a common throwaway object.
Below is a current list of chairs ready to be sat upon again.

Trio of Wood Chairs
These solid wood chairs are durable and comfy. For the most part, these chairs are in fairly good condition. However I would like to recover the seats with a different fabric. The back of the chairs have a lovely shape.

I'm not yet certain of the heritage of this chair, but it reminds me of chairs I saw in offices during my youth. Number 16 1/4 stamped on the bottom of the chair. Solid wood and very sturdy. Needs to be sanded and restained. A spindle is missing.

People seem to dispose of bedroom items on a regular basis. Their loss, our gain.
Miscellaneous
