    This was a very unique chair. I found it a a Salvation Army thrift store in the wine country, of Northern California. It feels like fine leather but it has wear of vinyl. The cushions and body are-amazingly soft and flexible but strong and sturdy. No manufacturing labels at all. Staples hold all the materials. The chair is heavy steel construction. The back of the chair is a flexible woven rubber straps like what you might have hold your pants up. The chair has strong front welded steel front legs silver metallic paint peeling Bottom of legs. The tips have black plastic disks. You can see welds and tubular construction. The rear are aluminum wheels that have a groove for 5 inch o rings to fit. Only one is left but it is cracked with age. It's got a steel arm that swivels. Topped with a ovel wood surface. The surface is slanted as if it was made for writing. What is this chair made for??Or is it a student chair? Or is it belong in a cocktail lounge? beautiful? I say yes,and it is very comfortable. I bought it for my 16 year old son to use in his room. But is it too cool to have him destroy it. I have no room in my home although if it is worth serious money I would be happy to sell it but where?

      All it needs is a conveyor belt to the fridge for bringing beers!

      Are custom chairs common? These wheels seem custom.
