About Hug Me Cathair-ghàirdeanach

'S e cathair-ghàirdeanach a th' ann an Hug Me a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson suidhe socair aig an taigh. Tha na gàirdeanan a' sìneadh a-mach ann an cumadh a fhuair brosnachadh bho ghlacadh. Tha bonn tiugh, làidir a' toirt coltas daingeann agus seasmhach don chathair-ghàirdeanaich. Tha an taic-droma a' claonadh air ais aig 105 ceum gus lùban a' chuirp a leantainn, rud a fhreagras air leughadh, fois agus cruinneachaidhean teaghlaich. Tha structar aonaichte a' cur còmhla frèam meatailt a tha air a thogail a-steach agus foam air a mholldadh le ath-bhocadh slaodach, agus tha an còmhdach air fhuaigheal le làimh gun ghlaodh. Tha dreachan de shnàithlean poileastair agus clòimh uain rim faighinn ann an grunn dhathan, le crìochnachadh a tha dìonach an aghaidh uisge agus smal.
