Are armchairs worth it?

In my game right now (A14), a good armchair has a beauty value of 4 and comfort of 0.88. Meanwhile a good wooden dining chair has a beauty value of 17 (!) and comfort value of 0.77. This leads me to believe that armchairs are only useful when comfort has to be prioritized over everything and that you generally would want to put dining chairs everywhere. Doesn't feel worth the 100 cloth and work.


What do you guys think? Should the armchair be buffed in some way?

Comfortable armchairs are much easier to make than comfortable dining chairs. Also, you can get beauty from other sources, notably floors, sculptures or a dozen of flower pots. Also in some biomes cotton is easier to get - you can grow it in hydroponics, but for a dining chair you would have to use steel. No wood on ice sheet or tundra.

I think it has a lot to do with the materials used.

Wood gives a lot of bonuses to beauty, cloth and wool don't have any affect on beauty at all as far as I'm aware.
Maybe that's something that should be addressed in a future update?

And what else would you put in front of your megascreen television ?
Surely not wooden dining chairs :)
