PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE ABOVE IMAGES

Do you think that these captain’s chairs with college logos, chairs of competitors, all look alike?  Well, the images on their respective websites speak for themselves.  One can clearly see that three of four images (from their own websites) of captain’s chairs with college logos, above, are based on the same photo.  As one can see from the images on the various websites and on AlumniChairs.com, there is one leading company that creates unique and well-constructed Amish, college chairs with a high level of detail.  Rather than mass-producing identical, cookie-cutter chairs assembled inexpensively from components that have been milled overseas, Alumni Chairs builds multiple styles of fine furniture, one at a time, in our small Amish shops located in Northeastern Ohio.  We ask all potential buyers who seek the best college chair with a logo, to do some research.  Please look closely at the images below to evaluate the differences between Alumni Chairs’ Affinity Traditional Captain’s Chair and the other captain’s chairs with college logos.
