About Revolving Especie Cathair-uilleach

Is cathair-uilleach chuairteach í Especie a dhearadh le húsáid laistigh agus lasmuigh araon. Tá an chathair-uilleach déanta as adhmad soladach a athshaothraíodh ó scartáil, a chuimil agus a vearnáiseáladh. Tá an bonn rothlach déanta as cruach. Tá an suíochán déanta as poileuiréatán meándlúis agus é clúdaithe le fabraic mhuirí. Tá an bonn socraithe agus an suíochán ag rothlú. Tá an droim-taca claonta chun compord agus tacaíocht a thabhairt don úsáideoir. Is féidir binse cumhdaithe a sholáthar mar thaca cos. Leanann an fhoirm na himleoga adhmaid sholadaigh agus na línte sainithe atá le fáil in troscán na Brasaíle ó na 1970idí.
