Portable ChairGE 105 (Introduction to Engineering Design)

• A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface used to sit on. The Chairs are most often supported by four legs and have a back.

• There are many kinds of a chair that are completely different in their shape, size, color, and also what it is has made of.
