Xantia Office chair

Post by robert_e_smart »

Morning Folks,

Here is some inspiration for those of you with an uncomfortable office chair, some spare Xantia seats, and some basic DIY skills.

I present to you the Xantia Exclusive office chair. I have used this chair for a couple of days now, and it makes a really nice office chair. I prefer the Xm one I made earlier, the XM one is a bit softer.

Maybe, I should try and use a Xantia dash to make a desk! Nice big flat top, and a grab rail to hold stationary etc. :lol: :lol:

That's a great idea Robert :D

And what about using an upturned V6 block as a coffee table?

Coffee maker made from hydraulic components? Maybe not, the green froth on a cappuccino may not be very appetising...

Great stuff BUT I fall asleep on the crappy office chair I liberated from work, after replacing the broken castor.
I would never get out of that seat :(

Coffee is only any good when it's 50% milk and 4 sugars.

100% coffee and no adulterants - presupposing coffee and not the instant crap that I always seem to end up with.
