I have a chair I want built - how much will it cost me??????

San Diego, CA

How much would it cost to have a furniture builder or a carpenter build a chair like this?

Here's what I want done:

>not sure about this yet, but I might prefer to have Alder wood on the inside, though I might leave that up to the builder

>it's going to be 16w 70L 29h

>i'll want the ribs spaced about an inch apart. I'll want it built so that it has a SUPER STRONG SKELETAL SYSTEM

>i'll want him to do the upholstery

>i want the builder to build it so that it's STRONG. So that it could hold someone the size of the Michelin Man should he decide to sit down on it. I want this chair to last a LIFETIME

>when all is said and done the chair should weigh AT LEAST 75lbs. THAT'S A MINUMUM OF 75LBS, NO LESS.

Look at the pictures. How much would a furniture builder/carpenter charge to build a chair like this?

$200?

$400?

$600?

More/less???

Feel free to exercise a little creative muscle by suggesting things that you think I should include in the final design. I'm all ears!

Keep in mind that I want this chair to feature lots and lots of [I]strength[/I].
