Jun 28 2007Transforming Trey Office Chair
The Trey is a multifunction chair that has a detachable base, so it basically transforms from a desk chair into a rocker with an extra surface for use as a foot stool, desk, side table, or anything else you can think of. It costs $299 and actually seems like a great chair for use in dorms or apartments. Although back when I was in college we didn't use chairs. We used saw dust. And we walked uphill both ways in ten feet of snow to get to school. Yeah, it was pretty tough back then.

is it just me or does the guy on the bottom looks really, really uncomfortable? imagine the back pain.

The girl needs high heels and she's still not sitting correctly (her forearms should be horizontal, not inclined), and the guy will (as yeah yeah points out) have crippling back pain after three minutes, RSI after two, and a complete mental block (from being uncomfortable) after one.
This is the sort of thing designed to look like a good idea, but then you realise after a few seconds of getting it home and unwrapping it that it is hopelessly impractical to use.
You know, like an iPhone.

not a horrible idea...
i could use one actually *mainly cause i really love those tiny rocking chairs and are so not uncomfortable to me* and i have like no more space in my room :D

that chair thingie works for short people. i don`t see myself staying hunchbacked in the chair, typing at the computer and crying, then paying 500$ for back therapy.

I love the disclaimer in the FAQ:
DO NOT stand on Trey. (duh!)
DO NOT kneel on Trey. (whoa! anti religion zealots)
DO NOT leave children unattended on Trey. If they attempt to stand on the chair, they may fall and be injured. (it's a chair, not a shopping cart)
DO NOT attempt to sled down stairs, hills or other sloped surfaces with the chair either assembled or disassembled. (oh, they so busted me. I spend $300 on chairs to go stair surfing)
DO NOT attempt to move others around in the chair. (can I just move myself?)
DO NOT throw the chair (in a cage match?!?!?)
DO NOT drop the chair from any height (how the hell do I take it out of the box? feasibly, it should survive a 3 inch fall into usefulness)
Someone is overcompensating in their disclaimers....

We had to walk barefoot down Razorblade Road and through Rubbing Alcohol River.
After the ten mile uphill snow hike...both ways.
And I'm only 23.

I hate when my laptop rolls away from me.

I have one of these chairs and it is incredible. I use it all the time.

I lived in southern California so we had to make the snow first, then hike the ten miles uphill...both ways.
