Office Chair from Car Seats
There are multiple options and products available for converting car seats into office chairs.
Buick GL8 Seat Modification: Converting the middle-row seats of a Buick GL8 into home computer chairs is a popular DIY project. Fabric seats generally cost around 300 yuan, while leather seats cost about 500 yuan. The GL8 middle-row seats come in two major versions, 652 and 653, with the key difference being the position of the seat belts. The 653 model has seat belts integrated into the seats, which can be directly used as standalone chairs after removal, making modification easier but slightly more expensive by 100 - 150 yuan; the 652 model has seat belts fixed to the vehicle body, requiring modifications or disposal of the seat belt mechanism during conversion. This modification method is relatively low-cost, suitable for users with limited budgets and some hands-on skills.

The original car's seat belt buckle is retained and converted into a USB port for device charging. However, this office chair is relatively expensive, priced at 495,000 yen (approximately 21,244 yuan at the current exchange rate), and is limited to 70 units.
