Can someone enlighten me?

That horrible wooden plank spanning the frame?

Laminate composites are strong.

Together with a good design.

I had to try and break one of these up for the skip once it took fooking forever! You expect to be able to just jump on it and it will snap but they're friggin strong!

You could have unscrewed it

I've got 2 of them. lovely, bouncy, comfy things indeed! There are actually some opposing magnets on the back that keep the back up, sort of like magic.

Do you sit in your chair stroking your white cat?

I would, if I had a white cat... Mine is ginger... Nowhere near bond villain sufficient.

Now that is quite an interesing idea for a chair... and note that I said that first and I want 10% of all profits resulting from it!

What? A wobbly chair of death type thing? You daren't move one way, or the other for fear of falling?

Been there, done that.

Certainly wasn't as easy as I thought it should be!

Nope, think we ended up using a sledge hammer as we got a bit sick of trying to synchronise our jumping!

I have a black chair and a white cat, do you want a demo

I think that would be appreciated...

As a child I remember my father handing me a piece of inch thick composite he'd put together for something or other and betting me I couldn't snap it. A layer of balsa wood, a layer of some sort of expanded plastic foam and a thin sheet of aluminium. He was right though, I couldn't so much as bend it...
