<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 711643, member: 6444"]It's fine to call this a Windsor style chair, because it is based on the Low-Back Windsor's that were produced in the late 18th century along with the other styles that are more commonly thought of. Yours is a much more recent adaptation of that style, and it's lateness, crudeness and the steel bolts (including the bizarre one through the seat to the added board underneath) kill any value.
