Research Part B: Purchased chair


The chair can be found in outdoor living areas of normal households or outdoor restaurants. The chair would most likely be sold in a package of six chairs and a table. It’s a relaxing outdoor dining chair that is stackable. The chair has a nice recline at the back, which gives you a relaxing sitting posture. The chair doesn’t wobble and it’s quite stable. The chair has a nice bounce since it uses stretched textilene fabric that is cramped and curled into the body steel frame.

Since it’s an outdoor chair and it’s going to come into contact with wet weather, the seat is out of textilene fabric. The textilene fabric allows water to pass through so it doesn’t soak the water to maintain dryness and lightness. The chair frame has a dark grey rough texture power coat. When the chair is placed outside of a shelter, rust occurs mainly at the welding spots and the powder coat would fade as it has happen to this one.
The chair is made out of extrusion steel, which makes it very light.The arm rest is bended and welded to the other pieces. As for the chair body frame, it’s bolt on using nuts and screws.
