The Oval Office Chair

Eight United States Presidents have used a Gunlocke chair while in office. Franklin D. Roosevelt had two chairs, one for his office and one for his air raid shelter while John F. Kennedy's chair was custom constructed with special support added for his back. President Johnson had three chairs which were specially made to accommodate his height. Aside from Presidents, the traditional high back chair has served executives for years in embassy suites, congressional offices and judges' chambers. Its ergonomic design and high-quality construction are the work of The Gunlocke Company, furniture makers for over 96 years. Offering exceptional comfort and durability, the leather-upholstered swivel chair has a solid cherry brass-capped base with 2-inch rubber wheels. The interior frame of solid maple that has been double-doweled, corner-blocked, glued and screwed for extra strength. All frame components are made of high-density maple which strongly grips upholster tacks, preventing them from loosening. Using the same construction as fine upholstered furniture, it has a sinuous spring suspension (11-gauge steel springs that run across the seat of the chair) along with a fill of Dacron polyester and polyurethane foam that will provide years of supportive, sag-free seating. The chair's back is also foam-filled over a spring foundation. Soft, top-grain leather upholstery finishes the chair. Dark cherry finish. Manual lift raises chair from 45 to 47-1/2" high. 28" W x 35" D. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for in-home delivery and set-up. Available for delivery only in the Continental U.S. and Canada.
