No sound on this computer, so I didn't hear the explanations, but looks ok and seems sturdy. I'm short, so mine would need to be custom: I hate not having my feet flat on the ground, and even this (presumably taller than 4'11") guy didn't quite touch.

Had the sound, and the visuals are the focus. I'm with you on the short issue. My feet never touch the floor. This is an attractive chair, but why can't designers ever seem to take the shortsters into account?

Well it is clever, but looks like a park bench, not something I would put in my home, nor would it be a chair I'd spend a lot of time seated in
OMG, he has just the same hotness as my ex; same body type, same height, same coloring. And he sold me on the chair, too. Think I need to make a trip up to Mass to see Mr. B.

The chair looks too hard and masculine for me to want it in my home. While the creator is handsome I sometimes think he and other jock types should leave designs for the interior to the ladies and the gays. Only a straight guy guy would want such a heavy chair and would be so into showing off the cantilever.

Where can I get him. Funny, smart and good looking and he knows furniture, perfect. The chair's pretty cool to.

i'm glad i clicked on the link to see pics because the video wasn't very clear for me (had the volume on low). it's beautiful, but it does not look like it will be comfortable for a long time (dinner party length).
@theserovingeyes now that i'm "taken" i've had to rein in my roving eyes a bit but goodness he is hot

I didn't get any sound too, but I was too busy looking at the eye candy to really care about the chair. The chair doesn't look like anything special, maybe with sound I would have thought differently. Mr. Man kind of looks like Denny from Grey's A.

@Haruki: I hope you're kidding.
I think he was jumping all over the chair not to be a 'jock', but to show off how strong the design is, which makes sense given the lack of support beneath the seat. Intuitively, it seems like the chair should be unstable.

Ok.... so you need a "demo video" to sell a chair.... I remember the good old days when you could just see a chair and knew what it was for.
Big, chunky, heavy, straight, unconfortable, hard, tall, boring.... i'm running out of adjectives here!

"Simply put, furniture assembled with cheap metal components (that can barely be screwed in once before the threads strip) aren't going to last long term.

Sorry for the rant. Buy good stuff, it lasts. "

Here's a list of things I want to see a 360 view of before deciding if I like it or not:
1. This chair.
2. Everything else.
