Furniture Purchased

R 1 - Chair Purchased 
This  chair was purchased from a dining set wholesale furniture shop in Hoppers Crossing. A classical style dining chair. Costed 50 Aussie dolar. Come in brown color with green-blue cushion seat cover. It was imported from Malaysia. According to the factory said it used the local hardwood which name MERBAU to produced this furniture and export to worldwide. Which hardwood only plantation in the forest of Malaysia or Philippine or Indonesia.  
This chair very solid and the joinery of the furniture very sticky as the manufacturer used PVA white glue and long screws to screw up the joinery. The whole chair was assembled by several piece of timber wood which only  made by machine.  The chair been polished and paint by polish oil to keep the original texture of the timber wood and make it look shining. The cushion, rectangle shape cover by green-blue clothes, was screwed on the structure of the timber wood of the chair and allowed to re-change or re-new by users.
As the material used and the method of joinery, I think this chair could be used over 20 years. It is a long life time product.

The weakness points of  this chair was come in whole piece and unable to disassembled or store up easily.  Rather than some assembly furniture allow to assemble and easily to store up especially it does not occupied the space when does not use it. Secondly is the weight quite heavy for a person to carry for durable time.
