Re: Is anybody making anything?

Thanks for the response Derek.

I've seen the desk and table before. I like the appearance of both, but I question how stable the chair is likely to be in use. My experience is that chairs with just three points of contact at ground level aren't stable and are a bit of a challenge to use. Whilst it's true that a three legged item will always find three points of contact on the ground and therefore 'self levelling', unlike a four point of contact item in many cases, dining chair seat height items compound the instability if there are only three legs. It's all about leverage I suppose, and whilst acceptable in a low stool such as the classic milking stool used on rough and uneven floors, the instability tends to get a bit irritating in taller pieces. Slainte.
