Shopping Dining Furniture for Thanksgiving 

Thanksgiving is a time for family members to get together and be thankful for what they have and spend time with each.

And then of course there is the Thanksgiving feast that is a staple in American tradition. If you want your feast to be perfect for your next Thanksgiving, you might want to invest some time and money on the perfect furniture for it!

If you're the online shopper, there are some great many sites online that can aide you. JCPenney.com is always a great choice for finding dining sets. Another great choice would be SeatCompany.com that sports numerous dining collections, dining benches and dining chairs in both leather and fabric. For extra savings, try to buy directly from the manufacturer online.

When shopping for the perfect set, it's essential that you buy American. It's not just being patriotic, it's being practical. Most imported furniture is of poor quality, and when the furniture is built in the States you will not have to worry about them being damaged as much during delivery since they're not going to be traveling tens of thousands of miles.

If you do decide to get furniture for your Thanksgiving Day Feast, get it all at once. It benefits the manufacturer and you when you buy in bulk, the savings really do add up for you. So if you have ten people coming over for dinner and want all the chairs to match, it would be in your best interest to order ten chairs. That way your set will still match and every one has a nice place to sit.

Speaking of Club Chairs 

Feeling inspired by the About.com article below, I figured I'd compile a little list of furniture companies in the US, who also makes club chairs. I must admin, it has been hard finding club chairs that you can tell for certain are made in the USA. If you know of other manufacturers, do let me know, and I'll include them in the list below!
Seat Company
10-12 different chairs. Both leather and fabric. About 20-25 different leather colors. Manufactured in the USA.
PlushPod
Quite an interesting concept! Outdoor club chairs! About 6 different colors, or COM (customer's own material). Made in the USA.
Everything Furniture
I was tempted to not include this link. A lot of their stuff is imported, but they do have a few American made club chairs.

Club Chairs 

Was about to write "what is a club chair", did a quick search on Google, and came across an explanation that just covers it splendidly:

"Club chairs are heavily upholstered chairs with arms and a low back, usually covered in leather. Reclining in nature, this easy going chair has its roots in 19th century English gentleman's clubs, where they no doubt served as the ultimate socializing and relaxation furniture. Club chairs evoke a picture of smoke-filled rooms decorated in heavy, masculine wood and leather worn to a comfortable patina. The 1920's saw a huge jump in the popularity of club chairs, which began their evolution from the overstuffed masculine English version to the many different models available today."

A short, but interesting article on About.com comparing three Club Chairs.
