The chair itself is constructed of wood because wood is a non-conductive material and will not allow any short circuits between the contact points attached to the condemned. Only the electrodes and the wires leading to the ankles - abdomen - chest, arms - and head are actually made of metal (usually copper) just like the wires on a home appliance.
