"....the CEO is clearly the nicest design I have run across in computer furniture. I am extremely pleased with your design and all the thought that went into this unit. The materials and hardware are first rate and the finish is excellent..... you were correct, the unit is an excellent home office solution and I am very pleased with the purchase. Thanks

Thomas Drendel, Attorney at Law

The OFFICE™ comes complete with a full-sized ergonomic chair with articulating arms. But since ergonomic chairs, no matter how attractive they are, rarely compliment the surrounding decor, The OFFICE™ has been designed to close and lock with the full-size ergonomic chair inside. Use the chair with both arms up, both arms down, or one up and one down. CHAIR DETAILS
