^ Executive Office Racing Chair - 'The Monaco'Now, is that for racing around the office!?
WHY?Because you are a true motorsport/car enthusiast with petrol coursing through your veins.
Or, as in my case, because the all-singing n dancing mega-expensive exec office chair I bought over 25 years ago finally gave up its upholstery (and because I fancied
the hot sales girlie in sheepskin boots and specs the Monaco chair the moment I saw it and Captain Sensible said it would last, just like true love).
SOURCING:You don't honestly think I'm going to share her phone number with you, do you!
I saw it as a new product in a magazine in WHSmith's public library - "Performance Car" mag, I think.
FITTING:The seat, back, arms, base, castors, all pack into a box which fits the GTI with the back seats down.
Assembly instructions are very clear and idiot-proof and it's very easy to assemble even if you are impatient to get it up.
OTHER VERSIONS:There is a black and silver-grey Pigskin version.
Smaller synthetic cloth versions in colours which are too bright. Cheaper, about £170 instead of about £330 but won't last as long and not as comfortable or with as much adjustability.
PLUS POINTS:The most important plus of all for any chair - Comfort! Every time I sit in it I think
of that hottie in specs how extremely comfortable it is. You can go to sleep in it. It has adjustable lumbar support. Its castors look like mini RS4 alloys! Being Pigskin it will last many years. It also looks very stylish. It's very good value for money - The Recaro office chairs cost over £2,000.
MINUS POINTS:It's big!! It may not fit in with the decor of your room (or wifey might fancy herself as your interior decorator and not approve).
If your non-motoriing enthusiast friends don't already think you are mad, they definitely will after they see you in this chair! Who the feck cares!
SUMMARY:I spend a lot of time in it and I can't fault it.
* I'll post more pics when I get some.
