Chair
Every home needs a chair. A decorative item which provides comfort while seated.
The Chair is a deployable item in Rust with 100 health. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 20 scrap to research.
About the Chair
Fixed ones stand at Bandit Camp, Junkyard, Large Oil Rig, Outpost and 3 more.
On the tech tree it sits behind 2 other unlocks: Mail Box and Water Bucket. In all, 23 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
Chair health and decay
Outside a tool cupboard's range it holds for 4 hours, then decays from full health to nothing in 4 hours.
How to craft the Chair
Crafting one takes 15 seconds at a Level 1 Workbench and costs 50 × Wood and 75 × Metal Fragments.

Repair when placed
A damaged Chair can be repaired where it stands with a hammer. Repairing it from nothing to full costs:
×25 ×38 Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.
What the Chair recycles into
A green recycler always gives back 25 × Wood and 37 × Metal Fragments for one.
