I have a pair of 1006 Navy Chairs. I love them, and whenever I spy them in a movie I quietly point it out. There is a recent edition of the design, made from recycled plastic (apologies, Pepsi-blue)....

And, for those uncomfortable with the price, there is always the used market. Because they are so well built they last forever I've found them at dump ($10 each!) and on Craigslist for $50. They are...

Huh. Just found another one - Battlestar Galactica Season 1 Ep. 8 Act of Contrition. From about 9 minutes in Starbuck interrogates the sweating Cylon with too much hair gel in his hair. They sit on...

Just phoned one of the friends we gave them to, to tell her about this post. She's done a bit of research herself. It looks like something that arrestees would be handcuffed to. posted by Burhanistan...

Damn fine looking chair, though. As well as being easy to clean and remarkably comfortable. This post has some serious zeitgeist for me. My friends and I chipped in to buy four of these for another...

It's crazy – seems like there must be a cheaper way to manufacture it... I seriously doubt it -- esp. in large numbers. The reason this chair is so damn strong is it is built right. All the real work...

Burhanistan, I've seen them so often on cop shows that I've wondered if it was just a TV trope or an actual convention in police interrogation rooms. (My theory is that they're so light, a bad guy...

This chair is so good looking and practical. I've tested this model a couple of times at the local DWR and I love it. I just can't justify to myself spending $500 on a chair, even though I know that...

You know, considering the amount of labor and materials in those chairs, their asking prices strike me as pretty reasonable. The $150 chairs you buy at Home Depot will last maybe five years; a...

Does anyone know why the chair was supposed to be "torpedo-proof"? I'm guessing that it has something to do with preventing fragmentation and shrapnel. There was a scene once on the West Wing in which...
