Furniture and furnishings made by local joiners are also called country furniture. Panel-back chairs and ladder-back chairs, which were used daily in local townhouses and private homes, the English Windsor chair made of turned parts, and the gateleg table (extension table) with side panels on the deck are practical and suitable for a simple, rural lifestyle.
