A throne is only a bench covered with velvet?

Question

what is the meaning of this quote

Answer 1

throne isnt even that good

Answer 2

It's a well-upholstered chair. It's a symbol,mostly. Depending upon which Royal House you are talking about,the powers to rule vary.Many monarchs share power with an elected government, these days.

Answer 3

look. a throne is a simple seat made special due to history and pomp/circumstance. the oval office is a room within a building and the president's desk is wood, stapled,nailed together but because of the history behind it, it becomes a special desk and office. the flag of any nation is a simple piece of cloth but add the country, the people, the history and wow! you've got something very special, agreed?  you can realistically carve anything down to the basics but that takes the fun out of anything.

Answer 4

usually it's a big chair with velvet, what's your point?
