The most expensive chair ever
A chair named the "Dragon Chair" developed by Irish designer Ellen Gray in 1919 sold for a record 21.9 Euros ($27.8 million) in 2009 making it the most expensive chair in the world. We've got swank designer chairs for a lot less than than! How many offices could be decked out for a cool $29mil??

Ergonomic to the bone...
We caught Teutel Sr. lounging around in a bright orange Herman Miller Embody chair on Orange County Choppers the other night. Pops Teutul probably does need nice comfortable chair after riding around on choppers all day!

The adjustable workstation power boost!
According to recent studies, users of adjustable workstations are 25% more productive than those who use boring, non-adjustable furniture (or a kitchen table and stool). Take that logic a little further and upgrade to a movin' and groovin' workspace with the Envelop desk - it actually reclines with you, keeping your monitor at eye level. http://www.sit4less.com/products/Herman-miller/Envelop-desk/875
