Chair (Sophanem)

Chairs are found in various buildings in Sophanem. They have a light sandy colour and backs made up of three wide slats of wood. The shape of the chairs is quite common across Gielinor; similar specimens may be found in Nardah, for example, though this precise colour resembling teak is unique to Sophanem.

A slightly darker variant has been present in the game's cache files since the beginning of the RuneScape 2 beta, but was only first visible in-game when Sophanem was released in April 2005. The so-called "Desert theme month"^[1] saw numerous aesthetic and functional changes throughout the Kharidian Desert, climaxing at the addition of these chairs.

When the Contact! quest was released in 2007, all 24 chairs were replaced with the lighter ones, and one additional chair was placed on the 1^st floor of Raetul and Co's Cloth Store where a potted plant had previously stood, making 25 chairs the present total. Unlike a 2022 update that similarly resulted in the wanton removal of a potted plant, no moment of silence was observed for this supplantation.

A third variant, identical to the lighter chairs currently in Sophanem, was added to the cache files in 2023, though it has never been visible in-game.
