I purchased this lovely chair. The shape, the color, and everything about it was perfect. but after a couple of weeks, I felt it did not quite fit into the decor. To my surprise, the cost to return it was 5 times more than the cost of the chair! The chair is easy to assemble with no additional tools necessary. Here is a picture of the chair. If you are interested. The cost is $150. You can pick it up from the office side on the north side deck of the Bridgeport Art Center at 1200 W. 35th Street, Chicago, IL 60609. Please reply to this post or send me an email at [email protected] to set up a daytime appointment.

CLASSICALLY DEVELOPED
Mixed Media Assemblage
36" x 36"

Living may be easy
And sometimes it’s not.
Never, however
Should be taken for naught.

The bigger the better,
The louder the sound.
The lower the barrier,
The wetter the ground.

The brighter the sun,
The more one can see.
The colder the weather
More snow and sleet.

We can go on
Until there's no more
But we get the jest
In airplanes we soar.
