About Hui Bòrd Suathaidh, Cathair Suathaidh

Is e Hui seata àirneis-suathaidh, air a dhèanamh de chathair agus bòrd beag, air a dhealbhadh airson leughadh agus tì a ghabhail. Tha cruth Balla Ma Tau, eileamaid barra-mhullaich de ailtireachd Huizhou anns an t-Sìn, air a thionndadh gu bhith na phàirt structarail is sgeadachail den àirneis. Tha an seata air a dhèanamh de fhaidhbhile, leathar agus glainne, air an ceangal le ealain thraidiseanta Sìneach de mhortas is teanan. Tha am pillean leathair agus an cùl-taic bog agus a' toirt taic gu leòr. Tha dà lobht aig a' bhòrd, agus tha an lobht leathair as ìsle a' cumail leabhraichean is irisean. Is e an rùn cultar roinneil a thoirt a-steach don dachaigh nuadh.
