If you've ever owned a Mercedes, you probably know their seats were made with long-term comfort in mind. That's why I chose to build a Mercedes chair for my office over a year ago and it truly is comfortable all day long. This auction is for the eighth Mercedes chair I've built.
This office chair was made by combining a brand new donor office chair with a seat removed from the passenger side of a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6. It started out as a power seat but has been converted to manual adjustments. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in very nice overall condition as you can see in the pictures above. The seat is upholstered in its original Black MB-Tex and the only imperfections it has are shown in the pictures. There is only one to report here: There's a small break in the piping on the headrest as shown in the pictures.
MB-Tex is a material that looks like leather, but does not shrink, crack, peel, cut, or wear near as easily as leather. Many Mercedes as far back as the 1970's are still running around with nice looking MB-Tex interiors. Mercedes has made literally millions of cars with these interiors and continues to do so today. All of the non-Mercedes parts of the chair are new. It will be shipped partially disassembled and will require about 10 minutes to put together. Only simple hand tools are required.
This chair retains the Mercedes reclining mechanism, adjustable headrest height and headrest angle. And, it has all the standard features you would expect from an office chair, such as swivel, tilt, tension adjust, height adjustment, adjustable arms etc. This is a very unique item that is near impossible to find anywhere and would make a great gift too. There is a signed and dated "Rebirth Certificate" attached to the underside of the chair that details exactly which vehicle this seat is from and ensures its uniqueness. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you.
I put together the first of these chairs after having a couple of store-bought office chairs with foam cushions that quickly became flattened and useless and made it feel like I was sitting on a park bench at work all day. Automobile seats are designed for long-distance comfort and I thought they might make a great office chair. It turns out they do. They provide all-day comfort in the office just like they do in the cars. They typically use a combination of padding and steel springs rather than a single piece of foam over plywood or plastic like most office chairs and they simply don't degrade like regular office chairs. I've been using a Mercedes chair in my office since August 2014 and couldn't be happier. One day a coworker saw my new chair, said it was the coolest thing she's ever seen and thought I should try making them for other people too, so here we are. I've learned a few things by using one of these chairs daily and by having built several others. So, I've upgraded the design of this chair as a result.
The weight capacity of this chair is 310 pounds and the top of the seat cushion can be adjusted from 18.5" - 21.5" but the seat easily compresses to as little as 17.5" - 20.5" as soon as you sit in it. Need a chair that's a little taller? Just send me a message with your requirements and I will probably be able to accommodate you.
