Ace Bayou Xfunctional Media Furniture X-Pedestal Audio Gamer Chair

Ace Bayou Xfunctional Media Furniture X-Pedestal Audio Gamer ChairI am a very frequent Amazon buyer, and I rarely leave product reviews. In this case, however, I need to let people know how great this chair is. I just got it yesterday, and I'm already thinking that this is one of the best purchases I have ever made.




I purchased the chair on a Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday. So, it only took 5 days via Fedex to get to me (with SuperSaver Shipping), and that is great considering I live on Oahu. So if you live on the mainland, expect to get it in probably 3-4 days. It comes in a big box (about 50 pounds), and is packaged really well. There is some assembly required, but they give you all the tools you need to set it up. It's not difficult at all, and I put it together in about 15-20 mins



Here is my breakdown of the chair:



Comfort - This chair is actually pretty comfortable. It could use a little more cushion, but overall it was more comfortable than I expected. I'm 6'2", and I fit well in chair. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 6'5", but anyone smaller will be fine. The tilt and swivel is really nice, and the armrests are in the perfect position.



Sound - This is what really sold me on the chair. There is a speaker inside the headrest on each side, which gives great surround sound audio. There is also a sub in body of the chair, which isn't too powerful, but you can feel the bass if you turn it up. I use this chair when I play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and it makes the multiplayer so much better. Now I can hear every footstep, and every other small sound that you just cant pick up on regular TV speakers. It even makes watching TV better. I was watching the Australian Open last night and it sounded great. I have a Blu-Ray player that I haven't used with the chair yet, but I already know it will be amazing. If you get the chair, try to set up the audio so you can hear both the sound from your TV, and the sound from the chair. Its fantastic.



Style - Did I mention this chair looks really good? It doesn't take up too much space, and it folds in half if you want to store it away when not in use. Also, I really like that it is on a pedestal and off the ground (which is one of the main reason I bought it). I don't like game chairs that are on the floor, so it's another reason this chair is great.  More Detail>>

Excellent quality and value


I picked this unit because it is made of metal and glass, rather than particle board and plastic. I wanted something that would look great and last. The assembly took about an hour because they used so many fasteners to hold it together -- this thing is solid as a rock! The glass shelves are black on the bottom, for a very modern feel. It even has leveling feet so you can dial it into your location perfectly. This is an excellent value and should last a lifetime.   More Detail>>>

Antique Furniture with Other woods

While oak, walnut, mahogany and satinwood are recognized by most people, and one or more of them is present in almost every home, there are a large number of other woods used by cabinet-makers in the past that are not so easily identified. To describe them in words so that they can be named positively is not possible, but a general indication of their appearance and uses may be helpful.

Amboyna. A wood from the West Indies with a distinctive burr, looking like closely curled hairs over the light brown surface. It was used in the form of veneer.

Cedar. The harder varieties of this wood, known as Red Cedar, were used for making the linings of drawers in some better-quality eighteenth- and nineteenth-century furniture. It is not to be confused with the spongy open-grained cedar used for making cigar-boxes, which it resembles in sharing the same pleasant smell.

bony. A black wood of very close grain and heavy in weight, which was popular for veneering at the end of the seventeenth century. Later, it was used in inlay and especially for the dark lines in stringing.

Elm. Somewhat similar in appearance to oak, this wood was in use during the seventeenth century and later. It is as hard as oak, but it tends to twist with age and is susceptible to woodworm. Harewood. The veneer of the sycamore, stained a grey colour, was called ‘harewood’ in the eighteenth century. It has pleasing rippled markings, and was popular both as a veneer or for use in inlaying.

Lignum vitae. A hard, heavy West Indian wood, of a dark brown colour with black markings. It was used occasionally as a veneer, but was principally made into bowls and cups, and similar pieces. Maple. The American ‘bird’s eye’ maple has small markings all over its yellow-brown surface, and was popular during the nineteenth century. It was used particularly for veneering picture frames, but is found also on furniture.
Rosewood. An East Indian wood with a close grain and dis¬tinctive blackish lines on a brown ground. Although it was in use during the eighteenth century, it became widely popular during the nineteenth both as a veneer and in the solid when it was imported also from Brazil. It is a heavy timber, and chairs made from it are often found to have been broken from their own weight when carried.

Yew. The familiar tree of English churchyards makes a wood of a medium brown colour used sometimes in the solid and also for veneers. Furniture using either type is much sought after, and when found is usually expensive.

Papier mache. This material, an imitation of wood, was made in England from the second half of the eighteenth century. The more usual method of making it was to stick layers of paper together and leave them to dry, either flat or in moulds. The article was rubbed down until smooth and then painted several times and decorated; each layer of paint was baked gently in an oven to harden the coat and produce the final high gloss. Trays and tea-caddies were among the earliest articles made from papier mache, but during the nineteenth century small tables,
