Neva ÒGrandmaÓ Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57-year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari-mutuel harness racing after World War II.

During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma BurrightÕs exploits as a harness racing driver. In 1943, she became the first woman to win a Grand Circuit race. In doing so, she defeated the legendary Sep Palin, Òthe aristocrat of drivers,Ó who had the financial backing of automobile heiress Frances Dodge Johnson. During that Grand Circuit race in Delaware, Ohio, Grandma Burright and Luckyette, her bay gelding, also shocked the harness racing world by setting a record for women drivers over a half-mile track with a time of 2:04 _.

In addition to Grandma BurrightÕs victories on race tracks, general audience magazines such as Coronet, Esquire, Hit!, Life, and Look magazines featured her in articles. She also appeared before millions on national television in 1954 and stumped the panelists on WhatÕs My Line?

In Grandma Burright: The Queen of Harness Racing, Kevin Groenhagen explores Grandma BurrightÕs legacy as a wife, mother, grandmother, and, of course, as a harness racing driver. He examines how a diminutive woman of modest means overcame numerous tragedies (the death of a husband, two grandsons, and two sons, all within 12 years) to become known as ÒThe Queen of Harness Racing.Ó

Comfort, support, style, and durability in this chair!
Color: Lightbrown, Color: Lightbrown
🥰 Very sturdy and durable for everyday use in the office or at home! Perfect for sitting, planking, criss-cross Apple sauce, or whatever seating position you wanna call it lol. 🛠️ Assembly; All the tools you need are provided in this kit! This took me all of 20 minutes to complete. Once you read the instructions, it’s pretty much placing screws in holes and done! No drilling needed! Cheers to the quick and easy process! Material is easy to clean, for keeping it in pristine condition! 🌟 Softness; Very nice and plush backing! Sides come down just as advertised but requires a bit of force to do so which is perfect, as they aren’t just plopping down because you press on the arms. I was concerned that would be an issue, and it’s nothing to worry about! Absolutely Love it, well designed for comfort / support, style, and adaptability! ✅ Stability; Chair wheels glide as expected on my carpeted floor. Pretty much with ease on the tile surface. The chair feels sturdy, even with the adjustable height and backspring, ultimately a relaxing desk chair. I appreciate there not a lot of wobble and no noise when moving around.. I’m not getting wild here but you could totally plank on the chair if you wanted and it still remain stable! 👍✨ Overall, I would definitely recommend! Storage side pockets are a plus!

Nice office chair
Color: Beige
I recently purchased this chair for my home office setup. This chair is very comfortable and feels sturdy right out of the box. The seat cushion is thick and supportive, the back provides good support. I really like the flip-up armrests, which make it easy to slide the chair under my desk. Assembly was simple and didn't take long. Overall, it's a solid, well-built chair and a great value for the price.

Stylish, comfortable, and very practical
Color: Black, Color: Black
This chair is both cuteand funtional. The wide seat is super comfortable, especially for sitting cross-legged, and the flip-up arms are really convenient. I also like the side pockets for small items. It rolls smoothly, feels sturdy, and was easy to asssemble. Perfect for a home office or vanity setup.
