(1)Side: 427.022 in²
Seat: 406.514 in²
Support: 94.791 in²
Back: 522.1706 in²
Weight the chair At least 100 pounds
can support:
Chair is comfortable and well suited for a child.
Comfort: The sides are closer together so the child’s hips may
be squeezed tightly if they are too old to be using the chair.
Possible Changes: Make the back piece interlock with the sides.
We would move the center of gravity back.
This would allow the chair to rock better, and be
more stable when put together.
Hazards: The chair may cause pinching due to the slight wiggling of pieces.
No major danger is present.
Aesthetic: The chair is bright colored and visually appealing for young children. The splatter
effect on the back and seat allow the eye to follow the design and enjoy the
various parts of the chair.
