When I saw this video from Vox, I knew I had to share it because my Dad had this exact set of chairs before he married my Mom. They eventually were given to my Grandma for her new home and I hated them. They rocked back and forth too much, they weren’t stable and they weren’t even that comfortable. However, if you look at TV from the 80s and 90s you’ll see this chair everywhere. If you’re at least as old as I am or older, you’ll have owned this chair or at least known someone who did. In this video, we learn why this chair became so ubiquitous.
