Unfortunately, for something like a Ornithischian Dinosaur, their tails aren't as flexible.? They would tend to stick out straight behind them at all times.?
D.O.P.R
I was wondering if having the tail dangling/hanging out the back of an open back or 'c' notched back chair create the problem of being tripped over or being stepped?on during?a lapse of attention?or would that be concidered just another everyday hazard that happens all the time?
???? Maybe the chair wouldn't be too different from what we use now by being ergonomically designed to allow all but the rare few to turn the tail to the side and lay next to the?thigh and out the front thr way felines curl their tails around their feet when sitting or resting in a crouch or they could sit on them as seen in the pictures below done by John Seimer.

Since one of the ongoing topics is what everyday items and services would need to change in an Anthro society, I felt that this design earns a showing:

It's work of my own hand, and obviously inspired by Gurney's 'Dinotopia' series.? And while not Anthro, it gives an idea of how a chair could be redesigned to fit something other then human physiology.?
