Plastic Chair Repair

Humankind is perhaps not as grateful to chairs as we should be. While we idolize homes and often express gratitude for having a roof over our heads, we don’t as often pay gratitude to the chair we sit in. Chairs used to be significantly more appreciated. When Europeans first colonized America, furniture was a prized possession and a rarity. Early Americans lacked the necessary building materials, especially nails, so having a chair or two was something to be grateful for. In fact, the words “chairperson,” “chairman,” and “chairwoman” are used today to describe people in positions of leadership and power because, in early America, only those with status were able to sit in the limited furniture available.

Plastic chairs are cheaper and lighter than chairs of other materials (i.e. wood, metal, leather, etc.). Plastic chairs are commonly used outside as poolside or backyard furniture due to their waterproof nature and low-cost. Additionally, it is easier to clean plastic chairs than it is to clean chairs of other materials. The most common problem with plastic chairs is for them to crack. Thankfully, this doesn’t mean you should throw your plastic chair out. Plastic chair cracks can be fixed.
