Sample Mars furniture constructed from locally produced plastic sheet and either bamboo or pipe. Standard size panel of plastic or pressboard sheets would be automatically cut with a water jet cutter, then glued to make the end pieces with arm rests. The seat and back could be locally produced bamboo poles, plastic or fiberglass pipe, perhaps using pipes which did not pass quality control for other uses.
