Funny enough, I grew up at the South end of the Adirondack mountains in New York. I helped do some IT work for our County's health facility / retirement home, which had been a tuberculosis hospital previously. I had no idea the chairs were associated with tuberculosis treatment!

It's bizarre that shipping wooden chairs half way around the world makes more economic sense than building them locally, but I commend you for trying to prevent extra waste.

Thanks for the episode!
