How to Choose Chairs to Bring to Boot Camp

A total of 5 chairs will be completed during this series of classes. Students are responsible for supplying their own, structurally sound chairs. Any refinishing/structural repairs need to be addressed before Bootcamp. We can supply chairs with advanced notice of at least a month. Chairs will range in cost from $20-$50/chair depending on how much work is involved to get them ready.
