This is a unique opportunity to own one of our chairs at a discounted price. This was originally made and then sold on February 16, 2016. The customer has moved on to another chair, so we are offering this one for sale again. It was used as an occasional chair in a home office and the chair shows no wear since being sold although we did install a new left cylinder for the next owner.
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 three years ago and it truly is comfortable all
day long. This was the seventh 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 C220. 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 Parchment MB-Tex and the only
imperfections it has are shown in the pictures. There is a small nick in the leading edge of the seat cushion and a similar one on the upper left side of the backrest. Not much else to report on this one!
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 original MB-Tex interiors. Mercedes
has made literally millions of cars with these interiors and continues to do so
today.
The chair 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 item is near impossible to find anywhere else and
would be the ultimate office chair for any enthusiast. There is a signed and
dated "Rebirth Certificate" attached to the underside of the chair
that details exactly which vehicle this seat is from (by year, make, model and
VIN) and ensures its uniqueness.

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.
