The chair seat spins 360 degrees on a track and it also has a lock on the underside (pictured) to limit movement to about 30 degrees if desired. Those who watch “The Crown” will see Queen Elizabeth sitting in an almost identical chair in the early episodes. This chair retains its original finish; the legs have been reinforced with steel plates on the underside of the base to give added strength and support. A beautiful and functional chair. less
