Office supply stores used to stock Tempered Masonite chair mats,

Oversized casters help there, too. If he goes with the masonite, the
larger wheels would do a bit less damage and make it last longer. If
he goes with carpet, they make it easier to roll on that, too. Since
all the new chairs are adjustable in height, taller wheels don't make
a difference to the user.


Unless the user has very short legs.

At one time I bolted a spare bucket seat from a '66 GTO to a wood
frame for a computer chair. I used it for years, until a spring came
lose and impaled my ass cheek.

I LIKE! That idea!!! Thanks!!

Gunner, making a note for the next trip to the wrecking yard!
The front seat from a '49 dodge served as a couch at our place when
I was a kid. We had bucket seats for chairs in the club room at our
car club in the seventies, along with the bench seat couch.
