How a chair made of scrap wood survived 70 years, perhaps because of a “flaw.”

Thank you for posting this. Amazing what people can do w/ so little at their disposal. From sad times came a beautiful chair.

Very interesting story! The people out in the camps were very resourceful. I would have loved to see to see more of what they created. I did notice a resemblance to the current pallet furniture craze.
