Wouldn't see 109, I would have slashed my wrists by then.

Only trouble with this is, smaller workshops like the majority here have would be needing to charge “bare minimum” $300 per chair, and even then that might get you only basic quality. Multiply that by 109 plus GST and the café is up for a hefty bill.
This is where the Australian made idea goes out the window, and $40 imports are bought in. Sad, but true.

My excitement of Claw Hama doing 109 chairs became disappointment.

Now that would be a world WWF first mass chair making by forumites.
Now ways of doing it someone makes
the legs
the backs
the seat
Wongo assembles and sands them
