The fabric on the chairs (which match the drapery) is a modern twist material in a wide range of colours. The chair has a spring filled platform and back and a reversible foam rubber seat cushion. The arms and sides are cotton padded. Note how well the corner table is scaled to meet the arms of the chairs.. and note, too, the large shelf area convenient for books, magazines, etc. The tall, planted lamp gives ample illumination to the area. Only solid Birch wood is used in Heywood-Wakefield Modern furniture---on the exposed parts as well as in the frame of the upholstered chairs. No inferior lumber is used for chair framing under the fabric. This Modern furniture is available in light Wheat and Champagne finishes.Approximate retails prices: High Back Arm Chair (in grade 10 Fabric). . . $149.00 Corner Table . . . 63.00
