World's Largest Chair

Bassett, VA (Currently Mobile)

Bassett Furniture has built what they claim as the "World's Largest Chair" as a part of it's centennial celebration.  The chair is currently on tour and will eventually end up in it's permanent spot in front of Bassett's headquarters in Bassett, VA.

The chair is 20' 3" tall, 8' 2" wide and it's seat height is 9' 1".  It weighs 7,900 pounds and took 1,509 man hours to construct.  It is based on the "Grove Park Mission" style of chair that they sell in their stores.  The chair is made of layers of solid ash and the seat is made of fiberglass.
