Humankind is perhaps not as grateful to chairs as we should be. While we idolize homes and often express gratitude for having a roof over our heads, we don\u2019t as often pay gratitude to the chair we sit in. Chairs used to be significantly more appreciated. When Europeans first colonized America, furniture was a prized possession and a rarity. Early Americans lacked the necessary building materials, especially nails, so having a chair or two was something to be grateful for. In fact, the words \u201cchairperson<\/a>,\u201d \u201cchairman,\u201d and \u201cchairwoman\u201d are used today to describe people in positions of leadership and power because, in early America, only those with status were able to sit in the limited furniture available.<\/p>\n\n

Plastic chairs are cheaper and lighter than chairs of other materials (i.e. wood, metal, leather, etc.).
