Cheap Car Seat Office Chair!!!

Step 2 Find a base.

Now that you have a nifty car seat, find yourself a base. I got mine from a surplus store for $10. Here's some stuff to think about when you're looking:

• Like the seat, a simple bolt pattern and a flat top will make your life much easier.
• Check to make sure the controls still work, if you want to use them, and that none of the components are rusted out, as that's just not safe.
• It's unlikely that you'll be able to get just a base like I did. (I got really lucky there.) So make sure you can easily remove the office chair from the base, and that the chair arms aren't directly attached to the base. Make sure you have a way to dispose of the old chair before you buy it!
