A rush seat is a type of seating that was traditionally used in England and Ireland. It is made from rushes, which are a type of grass. The rushes are woven together to create a seat that is comfortable and sturdy.
Rush seats were commonly used in public places such as inns and churches. They were also used in private homes, particularly in the kitchen or dining room. Rush seats were often replaced when they became worn or damaged.
Today, rush seats are still made using traditional methods. However, they are also available ready-made from many different companies. The ready-made seats are usually more expensive than those made using traditional methods.
When choosing a ready-made rush seat, it is important to select one that is the correct size for the chair or stool that it will be used on. Rush seats can also be custom made to fit any chair or stool.
To attach a rush seat to a chair or stool, firstly secure the top part of the seat to the frame of the chair or stool using staples, nails or glue.
