Absolutely nothing about this design is convenient to execute in wood. Every piece is curved, most have compound curves. This is artisan craftsmanship: it's inherently slow, manual, and skilled. Notice, also, that most features of this chair must be thicker and heavier than on the plastic chairs being imitated. Injection-molded chairs can be produced in this shape in a matter of minutes with far less material at very low cost.

Red blood his color and delight, Red flame his breath that burns the night, Long scimitars he has for claws, A fang-ringed cavern 'twixt his jaws, Red armored is this deadly Pyre, Who stole our gold to stoke his fire; A hundred men sought out his lair -- Not one did Pyre the dragon spare.
