Where do I find one?

If you are up for a fun project, you can choose from two methods for making your own chair. If you’d like to purchase one that’s already cut out and ready for easy assembly, we have that option too.

CNC Router

Using a CNC router to cut the chair pieces. Get as many as six chairs from one standard sheet of plywood.

ButtOn Chair Features

Handy-Dandy Handle

A handle built into the leg for easy carrying.

No Glue or Screws

We designed special joinery so the pieces just snap together. Just bang it together with a rubber mallet, no fasteners necessary.

Non-Slip Seat

Our seat is textured so students won’t slip off while they’re rocking. Also included in the box is a 1/2" thick, blue seat pad for cushioning.

Adjustable Height

The ButtOn Chairs height is easily adjustable by sawing off a bit of each leg to get a ButtOn Chair that fits your child perfectly. (Until they grow some more...)

Affordable

By using an old tennis ball or lacrosse ball, we offer active sitting on the cheap.

Educational

Teach kids how to either build a chair from a computer file or from hand tool instructions.

Compostable

(except for the tennis ball)
