The structure of the character looks like a chair. The wood radical is the back of the chair (wooden chair) and the right half looks like the seat with a little person sitting on it.

椅 Chairs are often made of wood. Therefore, the radical (wood) reminds me of the characters meaning.

There’s a wood radical on the left and a human standing on the chair character-like on the right.

椅 The radical on the left means tree, which chairs are often made of. The character in the upper right looks like a person sitting on the character 可. 可 reminds me of 可乐, which you might drink when you are sitting on a chair.

The left part of the character has the wood radical and the left part of the character has a character that means big and underneath it, there is ‘可’ which could signify that the person could sit (可以坐的可).

This character has the wood radical because chairs are made of wood and then it looks like a person is sitting on top of the 可 on the right, like someone would sit on a chair.

It has the wood radical, a person, and 可以的可. So it’s a piece of wood a person can sit on.

the left radical “木” means wood, which is common material for chair. the right one reminds me of “大” and “可”, which means for me that chair can hold even a big guy

Imagine a classic wooden chair carved from 木. You sit on it to rest, so on the right side it looks like on of the radicals is sitting on the other.
