Rustic Chairs: Generations of Seating

Remember when you were a little kid? Remember how big the world seemed? You could easily crawl under your grandparents’ coffee table or slouch down in a chair at dinner when didn’t want to eat your broccoli. Now, picture that coffee table or that chair, where is it? Chances are, those pieces of furniture are long gone.

Someone broke the coffee table from getting too excited while watching a football game. That chair had one too many people slouch in it, and the back broke. I don’t know about you, but those pieces were a part of my childhood, and I can never get them back.

My grandmother recently gave me my favorite piece of furniture from her home – a small white chair that had a fold out leg rest built in. Her mother brought it over from Ireland in the early 1900s, talk about some history! I am thrilled to have it in my home, and every time I look at it, I can see myself sitting at her table as a young girl eating her famous vegetable soup and tapioca.

Sadly, furniture isn’t made in a durable fashion anymore. After a few years of wear and tear, a chair is placed in the trash, forgotten. Furniture doesn’t last for generations anymore, it lasts for a time and then is forgotten. What does this mean? It means that the majority of children today won’t have a keepsake chair like I do.

But, that can be changed. At Rustic Furniture Pro, we believe in durability. We pride ourselves on selling pieces that last, that can have generations of seating. A rustic chair made of teakwood can last decades upon decades, meaning that your great grandchildren can have a keepsake from you.

So, try out some of our beautiful rustic chairs; it’s a purchase that is functional but also builds memories. Years from now, you still sit in the same chair your daughter sat in for her third birthday, your son sat in for his graduation celebration, your husband sat in the night of his 50th surprise party, you sat in while pregnant with your first child.

Instead of your furniture being fleeting, choose pieces that are timeless. Let our rustic chairs become a part of your legacy. I feel closer to my great grandmother when I see her chair from Ireland. Just like me, your great grandkids can feel your warmth and joy each time they sit in that beautiful memory-laden chair.
