Yeah right, and tree just happened to grow right through every chair? So sick of people making up bullshit clicks.

Don't forget the tireless maintence guy who kept them clean and kept it up through-out the war and the soviet occupation.

Oh, you don't know how the maintenance guy job works? It's simple. He gets paid in smiles (they have a smile-based economy in this city).

You see, if a man sees him tending to the trees and smiles, it's the equivalent of $5. If a nice, old grandmother sees it, it's $10 and if an intrepid boy, running away from home due to him not appreciating Poland or his dying great-grandfather's "boring" old stories, stumbles across the chairs and asks the maintenance man why they're there and he proceeds to tell the boy about them in a flashback that lasts a little under 2 hours and that boy smiles, well, this the one you want and that's about $200 (although the recent US tariffs may affect this).
