This is indeed the structure of an English Wh-question. It involves two syntactic Remerge operations, which means that two constituents, has and which yellow chairs, have been merged twice in the structure. Has has been base-generated as the head of FinP and which yellow chairs inside the VP. Both end up in a functional projection CP directly above FinP. The idea that constituents can be merged more than once, which is what constitutes movement, is often indicated in the literature by arrows, as in (29).
