A chair, suggests Wikipedia, is a stable, raised surface commonly supported on four legs and designed for one person to sit on.
As far as it goes, the description is adequate, but the writers at Wiki obviously haven’t seen the Montrose Cherry Dining Chair offered by Erik Organic.
This piece of furniture offers a raised-surface seat, rounded rather than square to soften its lines, and four elegantly tapering legs. Then it also adds strength by incorporating three stretchers – one on each side and one across the center.
This addition, even more than the back panels and the gently curving top and bottom “rails”, or slats, insures that the Montrose chair is designed to remain steadfastly reliable for generations, never giving out beneath even the largest occupants.
Made in warm, glowing cherry, and finished to advertise the depth and beauty of that wood as it ages, the Montrose Cherry Dining Chair, made by Amish insures that your family, and your guests, won’t find themselves suddenly, perhaps painfully, seated on the floor amidst the parts of a chair, as so often happens with cheaper, foreign-made, composite chairs.
These chairs, which escape being manufactured completely of “engineered” (man-made) wood only by virtue of the fact that plywood or particle board doesn’t lend itself to turning on a lathe or carving by hand, are made to become obsolescent. In five years or less, they are consigned to a landfill, providing another sales opportunity for avaricious manufacturers.
No so the Montrose. Made of solid hardwood, by Amish furniture craftsmen who take the time to produce “heirloom-quality” pieces, this solid wood dining chair with arms and leather seats will never leave your loved ones, or guests, stranded on the floor.
In fact, the craftsmen at Erik Organic are so sure of their skills that the company offers a 100-percent guarantee on your purchase, based on its decade of proven customer satisfaction and its reputation for quality founded in the ethic that businesses must uphold their end of the social contract by being responsible to customers, to the land, and to the greater community at large.
For Erik Organic, this means not only hiring the best of the best in terms of furniture artisans, but also insuring that their hardwoods are sustainably grown and harvested, many within 50 miles of the shop, on land whose owners agree with the principles of sustainability. Sustainability is defined as “using the wealth of the natural world in such a way that we can hand it down to our children and grandchildren essentially unchanged.”
