So far I've been very impressed with Kronos and the amount of work put towards making it a perfect blizzlike server. Easily the best server I've played on. That being said, there is always room for improvement. A couple of days ago I decided I should count to see if the number of chairs in the various major cities is blizzlike.
I've determined that the number of chairs is either blizzlike, or very close to it.
Here's a list of the cities and the number of chairs in them:
Alliance Cities:
Ironforge: 122 chairs
Stormwind: 319 chairs
Darnassus: 1 chair
Horde Cities:
Orgrimmar: 2 chairs
Thunderbluff: 0 chairs
Undercity: 4 chairs
You can see a clear imbalance here between the Horde and Alliance, but that's a story for another day.
Overall, these numbers seem to match from when I counted the chairs back during TBC on Mannoroth-US. I will admit I only had data for the Horde cities back then. but those match up exactly as I remember.
Some people have asked whether I count certain things as chairs, or why certain things don't count as chairs. Thrones, such as the one in Ironforge and Orgrimmar do count. Benches don't count. Seats don't count, unless the seat is a chair. A chair must have a back to rest on. Armrests are not required.
Here's a couple of images I saved that you might find interesting:
The only chair in all of Darnassus
I had actually resigned myself to the fact that this city had no chairs (TONS of benches, however) until one of the very last buildings I investigated had this one, solitary chair.

Secret throne/chair in Ironforge behind High Tinker Mekkatorque
I was pretty surprised to find this. I think one could argue that it's not a chair, but it sure as heck looks like one.

Secret rocket-chair in Ironforge
This is a pretty tricky chair to spot, since it's not one you can interact with, and it's tied down with rope, partially obscuring it. There is another one of these rocket-chairs in the Orgrimmar Engineering hut.

Some possible missing chairs in Stormwind
I noticed in some of the bars in Stormwind, that some tables don't have chairs where they should. In other bars, these tables do have chairs. Very peculiar. Perhaps this is the only thing the Kronos team overlooked when making this near flawless blizzlike server, or perhaps these chairs were forgotten back in the day as well.
