 Product benefits
 Product differences compared to other products of the same type
the chair that I would choose if I had my own business would be the third one
because it has more colors than the other two, besides
companies are very attracted by the designs, colors and of course the economy
and the different designs.
and one of the great advantages is that it is very comfortable and easy to transport,
this is an advantage that the other two models do not have.
