Each arm is composed of a flat plank with a rounded end and joined with a round headed wooden dowel to the arm support. Below the arm is a nearly identical plank that rotates out into a footrest. When not in use these planks are stored beneath the arms. The front legs are reeded, carved with rings and terminate in a peg foot.The rear legs are squared off, carved and moderately raked. The front feet are higher so the seat inclines.
