We're talking about a chair here, and this is the advertising blurb.
Guter Sitzkomfort und eine angenehme Athmophäre (sic.) werden auf dem in Kombination aus Bugsperrholz und massiver Birker hergestellten Korpusses, durch das Polster aus Hochrückfederungs-Polyäther und Fill und dem Bezugsstoff aus reiner Schurwolle.
Can't find this anywhere! The spelling mistake is original, which leads me to think this term could also be spelt wrong as well ...
TIA for all help

Bend plywood
The term "Bugholz" does exist. It is bend wood(en layers). Think of the famous Thonet chairs.
"Bug" comes from "biegen". It has nothing to do with a ship's nose although it is term first used nautics

: Is this the same as bentwood? (google search for Bentwood chair finds you lots of commercial sites with pictures of them)

Vorsicht, der Satz stimmt hinten und vorne nicht
Ich wäre da sehr vorsichtig, denn der Satz so, wie er steht, strotzt ja nur so vor Fehlern: fehlendes Verb, falscher Fall usw. Den Begriff Hochrückfederungs-Polyäther gibt es nicht. Das Ganze riecht nach einer absolut miserablen Übersetzung ins Deutsche. Wenn man jetzt noch ins Englische übersetzen soll, wird daraus Stille Post.

high quality or choice plywood
"Bug" in the "Metzgerei" means choice or prime cut roast maybe they meant it in this sense?

Buchensperrholz- beech plywood
I agree with Dietrich- the sentence is defintely not kosher and in view of the *Birker*, Bug might just be a typo. A google search got many hits for chairs etc made from beech plywood.
