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. |
