Wikipedia

A chair is a piece of furniture. It is used for sitting on. They usually have four legs to support the weight. Some types of chairs, such as the barstool, have only one leg in the center. Sometimes chairs have armrests.

Most 4-legged chairs have a design which lets them hold about 120 kilograms.

Some chairs are able to rotate or spin. Some people find it fun to play games with the chairs that roll and spin.
