easy sittin'
 


Remember those colorful metal lawn chairs from the old days?  The ones that, if you weren't careful, would scorch the back of your little legs on hot summer days?  Shellback chairs are popular again. If you don't find one in the garage, or a second-hand store, you can purchase a new "retro" chair.
 
The Art Deco inspired stamped steel chairs were purchased by the tens of thousands during the booming years of the Post-War Atomic Era in cool . Ed Warmack’s colorful steel lawn furniture could be found on porches, in backyards, fronts of motels and around pools all across America. In 2001, Torrans Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Texas began making this traditional lawn furniture to the same specifications used by previous manufacturers.
