History of the chair

By analogy, we can safely say that the chair - is brilliantly edited stump.
The evolution of the stump as the subject to sit is relatively easy to follow, when a person is not able to make furniture, as chairs were stumps, logs, stumps logs log. Then there was a stool. Stool with back called "chair", and chair with arms was called armchair. Evolution stump over.
How many chairs a man need?
The question is not idle. And to answer it, not taking into account the requirements of the time, it is impossible. Now, as the statistics show, for one man, half a dozen chairs are enough: at least one chair at home for themselves, the two - for guests, one chair at work, another chair at work for a possible visitor, one chair at the holiday destination.
The practice shows that we especially require a lot of chairs at home.
Simple arithmetic dictates that for the six millionth Moscow need at least 60 million chairs, and for all the people of our country - almost astronomical number.
Chairs mostly made of hardwood - beech, oak, beech and birch. The best chairs, including the famous Viennese are made of beech wood. One chair requires about 0.02 cubic meters of wood. That is to say, "clean out". If you add on the fact that a thing of the chip, it turns out that every chair "eats" 0.06 cubic meters of wood. Only in 1971 in one country was made about 42 million chairs. Their production took over two and a half million cubic meters of wood!
Well, the chairs are not for a year or two, and they are not making me feel like a glove: otherwise they would be "eaten" all the forests. However, they have "eaten" many: beech is almost gone, and bentwood furniture, which can be done only in beech, now is very rare
