DESCRIPTION

BASIC INFORMATION • The whole chair looks like a beer barrel • The back padding has a pattern of bavarian colours • Special safety wheels to move the chair easily; they can be locked so it stays at one point • It has a little movable table at the right armrest with slots or holes for a glass and plate • Under the seat there is a refillable box. At the back of the chair there is a tube leading to the left armrest. So the beer in the box gets directly pumped into the glass of the sitting person.
