Anyone using a Pro Seat?

http://www.proseat.net/ Opinions? Would it double nicely as an office chair or is it inclined too much? Will it lean back and spring up like a regular office chair? Thanks.

All the pro seat is is a racing seat attached to a commercial, off the shelf, office chair base. You could buy the two pieces yourself, bolt them together, and have the same product. As such, it will tilt, swivel, etc., just like any office chair. I guess you'ld be surprised at how upright these seats are, they arn't laybacks at all. In that respect they'd be just fine as an office chair, with about what you would expect for a back angle. Contrary to some opinion a layback racing seat is LESS comfortable than a more upright sedan seating position, that's why all our sedans have it. The layback position is strictly an aerodynamic choice, to lower frontal area at the EXPENSE of driver comfort. The real problem you'll have trying to use one of these as an office chair is that they are very narrow and confining. Great for driving, lousy for just sitting around, let alone trying to work or somthing. How about this as a solution? Pick up any Stock Car or Circle Track magazine, pick a seat you like for about a hundred bucks to a hundred and fifty bucks, Build a box under it at a hight you like, and there you go. A real racing seat, and a hundred bucks left over to apply to a real office chair. If you don't like that solution, check out the Recaro web site. Last I knew they made an office chair version of their seats. These are far more appropriate if you want a dual use chair.

Thanks for the good ideas and such.
