Excellent! Showed this to a friend; her comments: "this philosophy makes sense to me...build really good chair in the area they will be used, pay local workers a fair wage and have availability for local repairs...seems like it's a win all around really...really nice...

it's great to see how one person can make a difference on so many levels...imagine??

$220 for a good chair that will last...
