[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 612954, member: 5066"]It's one of those old furniture oddities (there are many out there) waiting patiently for a furniture scholar to come along and solve this riddle of why these chairs were made. Of the 2 main theories, i used to be in the "uneven floor" camp but since these chairs are notoriously unstable i have switched to the "turners conceit" camp. Naturally, both of these leading theories of today could be totally wrong. 3 leg/post stools were common in the period as well as today however, when you make a chair from that design, it just doesn't work out.[/QUOTE]
