Child size recliners have become a very popular gift over the past few years idgexpoasia.com I currently have over 500 of these recliners in over 2-dozen styles ready for the holiday season rabuorvillageproject.org But how do these great chairs come into being?

I recently took a trip to visit several manufacturers of kid recliners elbe2008.org These manufacturers come in varying sizes, from shops with only a handful of employees to full blown factories with hundreds of workers jiankong88.com Surprisingly, the child recliners were all made in a similar fashion, regardless of the size of the manufacturer.

Let’s start from the beginning edepc1.com At some point each of these manufacturers decided to build child recliners fundacionramossucre.org They all have someone, usually the owner in smaller shops, who creates patterns for anything they’re going to create socinovamigration.org This person probably took an adult recliner, ripped it apart and created miniature patterns for the child recliner revistafuentes.org Two sets of patterns are created, one for the material and another for the wooden frame.

The material is then cut to the pattern therockthecradleblog.com Imagine metal tables laid out end to end for 50 feet cn-dot.com Fabric is rolled out across these tables kepzesesgyakorlat.com Because time is money, the fabric is laid out 10 to 20 layers thick and cut to the pattern all at once christelijkcentrumgroningen.org The pattern is laid out on top of the fabric and marked with chalk schoolofdramaindia.com To make the cut, an electric or air driven knife is used that resembles the electric knife you would use to cut up a turkey on Thanksgiving gaspriceprotest.com

Once the fabric is cut, it goes to the sewing station smbe2009.org The factories I visited all had row upon row of sewing stations set up iraqredcrescent.org The smallest shop had 10 stations while the largest had closer to 100 colegioespanolcervantes.com The pre-cut fabric is sewn together leaving various holes so that the fabric can be put onto the chair and the padding can be inserted.

While the fabric is being prepared, another set of craftsmen are creating the frames njcleanelections.com Depending on the chair, they are cutting either hard wood or plywood based on the previously created patterns thevictoriaroberts.com They use table saws, band saws and various other saws to shape the wood roadtoguantanamomovie.com Everything is done using stop blocks created long ago to speed the process areyouiffy.org Once the wood is cut to pattern, it is combined with a pre-purchased lift mechanism using several techniques depending on the quality and cost of the chair dedelefilm.com Staple gun, gang nail, air gun and screws are all used to hold the frame together.

At this point the frame and fabric are combined deathtec.com The fabric is stretched over the frame and tacked or stapled into place hseepregional-ix.com Usually a combination of tacking and stapling is used hseepregional-viii.com Tacking can create some nice effects in visible areas, while stapling is the standard and used anywhere people won’t see.

Once the fabric is attached to the chair, the chair is stuffed with fiber foam traffickjam.org The foam is blown in using a special machine futuralliaqatar2009.com You can view something very similar at any Build-A-Bear™ workshop.

Some final stitching is done to close up the hole where the stuffing entered and voila, a fantastic child recliner is born tricyclecommunication.com It is then wrapped in a plastic bag and put in a specially sized both, ready for delivery.
