Parquet board

Flooring made from materials created by nature have been very popular and very popular for many years. The noble appearance, the relative ease of installation, the affordable price and the significant service life (with the proper daily care are quite significant) made the parquet board a favorite among all the most popular flooring today.
An undoubted advantage of a parquet board is its environmental friendliness, beauty, as well as a significant area of ​​the board, which significantly reduces the time spent laying parquet boards and improves the quality of the resulting surface.

Chair history

Such a usual piece of furniture for us as a chair was once not accessible to everyone.

Moreover, they carried a chair with them: after all, the presence or absence of a chair clearly demonstrated who is who.

The inventors of the chair – the seat with the back – consider the ancient Egyptians. Before them, one could only sit on a bench or on a stool. It is difficult to imagine a royal lady sitting on a simple stool. But what if the chair has not yet been invented? For the thrones of their rulers, ancient Egyptian joiners invented armrests. At first it even seemed strange – backs, elbow holders. But the throne turned out to be so convenient that since then no sovereign ruler has refused it. Continue reading
