The kitchen chair is an enterable supporter in the kitchen.

The description is "This chair is quite an ordinary, wooden, brown chair. It looks really comfortable."

The other description is "It is a wooden, black chair with a black cushion on it. There are spiders on the back of the chair. It does not look comfortable."
