The Big Chair is a landmark located in Thomasville, North Carolina.
It is a large-scale replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair built in 1950 by Thomasville Furniture Industries.
The original chair was 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m) tall.
The old chair was unfortunately made of pine instead of lasting material, which resulted in it being worn down over time.
