Full power to the deflectors

Yes, of course I want a full-size replica of a Constitution-class captain's chair. It's silly, and gaudy, and it would make an awesome reading chair for my office. (Only because it wouldn't fit in front of my computer desk.)

But, uh, $2700? Now, come on. I seriously doubt it cost Matt Jeffries that much to make the first one, even in 2009 dollars. Yes, corporate greed has once again saved me from making a ridiculous decision. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some measurements out of my old Star Fleet Technical Manual...

See, that's what I figured. A couple hundred bucks for the chair, another hundred to improve on the upholstery, and let's go nuts and spend $700 on overdone electronics for the arms. You're still way ahead.

(Add a Pike-era gooseneck viewer and an iPod touch, and you've got a movie / music player and book reader!)
