I'll second that. Only one prob: you need to disable the casters, or you'll
find repeated brake applications will move you far, far away from yer desk.
The casters have little locking mechanisms, but they don't keep the wheels
from sliding, so I wrapped 'em in little terrycloth washcloths (kinda like a
Caster Cozy), which stopped the Pro Seat dead in its tracks. So to speak.
No problem with the caster. The office chair I'm on has casters, unlocked,
but has zero travel since it's on a shag type rug. I'd like to know what you
think of dealing with Pro Seat? I know nothing about them except that they
used to advertise on OLR. The difficult thing is ordering without test
driving. Does the company do a good job of getting the details? I know they
say to call them for orders so that the details can be taken care of. I'll
probably call them but I want to know what their feedback has been like.

I have the Saturday Night Special and enjoy the heck out of it. I'm a
tall/big person and this chair puts me in the right position for racing the
sim.
I've owned the chair for a couple years now and believe me it's built to
last. I recommend the chairs to everyone.

I had some problems initially, due to a misunderstanding, but when I
complained, they bent over backwards (so to speak) to fix the prob, and
seemed genuinely interested in providing customer satisfaction. If you get
a chair based on the Kirkey seat, make sure you get the appropriate width.
I thought I had pretty slim hips (blush!), but the narrowest seat (17", I
think) was a pretty tight fit...as it should be...in a racing car. You
might want a little more room to squirm around, unless yer living room in on
a gimball. Very well made (and designed) product, at a very reasonable
cost.

Tried to get in touch with Pro Seat. The phone number just answered with the
line is temporarily not in service. Emailed them and am waiting to hear.
Other choices are a place called simracerseats.com. Same basic idea. Bolt a
racing seat onto a office chair base. Looks cheaper and is about 100 bucks
cheaper. Their phone just says leave a message. Haven't heard from them yet
so I emailed them too.
Last choice visited a office furniture store. Have some nice office chairs
for not too expensive. Going over tomorrow to pick one up for a two day test
drive.
