Beautifully landscaped around it. When Yoda the traveling bird (a/k/a Bird in a Backpack) visited Thomasville, NC she just had to visit the Big Chair.

The chair was brown with dark trees behind it so it was hard to see. The garden around it was beautiful with all the tulips in bloom! This is a cute town!

A fun road trip stop to stretch your legs! After stopping at the tourism office, we learned that Thomasville also hosts a 4-day Memorial Day festival. Pretty cool.

Fun sightseeing opportunity and place to visit! The fountain is beautiful, the gardens surrounding the chair are lovely, along with the Gazebo, picnic tables, and the Southern Railway caboose. Its also a popular spot for train watchers and photographers! Lots of places around the Big Chair to shop, get a good cup of coffee, or have a delicious ice cream treat!!

Its the biggest darn chair Ive ever seen!Dont plan in sitting on it. Youd need to have a very large extension ladder to get up there. Or a bucket truck!

Visit the Chair City! It was endearing to see this little town take so much pride in producing some of the finest furniture Craftsmen. We were there on Xmas Eve and was heartening to see the community come together in downtown. Do walk around to soak in some vibes. Worth a 15min detour if you happen to drive by.

Wife and I was in town visiting family. This is a unique landmark with beautiful landscape. Was a peaceful place to sit and talk. Local law enforcement stopped by to lower the flag for the night and greeted us with some “good ‘ol southern hospitality” Worth it to check it out if your in town.

Well the chair was a good tourist site, to look at how huge it was. But knowing the history of the town, and people who worked in the furniture industry there,now all closed down. Its a reminder of once was the life blood of a small furniture town now gone and struggling to stay intact.
