Star Trek TOS Blue Chair possibility

[PhuketAussie]

Hi there, if you've seen my other posts you'll know that I'm living in Thailand, and that I'm building a TOS themed PC workstation. A big problem has been finding a suitable chair. I know that reproductions are available in America, Britain, etc, but getting them here in Thailand means exorbitant shipping and customs. Anyway, On a whim I decided to have another look on Lazada, and check this out!

Here's a link to the product: YiFeng เก้าอี้สไตล์โมเดิร์นที่นั่งพลาสติก ขาไม้สีบีช YF-1094 | Lazada.co.th

It's 77% off at the moment too, only 299baht (approx. $USD9.57 + about $3.20 in postage)!

What do you think, if I change the base to a normal office chair base, and add the high back and seat cussion as necessary, it should do the job I think.

This obviously is the desired result, though I will more likely use a base with castor wheels:

I am actually using this same chair model to make a bridge chair except min started out black so there has ben sanding and painting and sanding and painting. I also swapped out the legs with an old office chair base (because I wanted wheels and adjustable height was nice too. I have not completed the backrest yet - the photos show a mockup made from Cardboard and seat cushion foam. I just wanted to see how it would look.
