Framingham, Mass.— Home office workers can sit in Donald Trump style with a new line of chairs from Staples.

Trump Office, an exclusive licensed line the office products superstore said is "inspired by the lifestyle" of the real estate millionaire and celebrity, includes five

chairs retailing from $349 to $549.

"Your office should represent success, sophistication and style," Trump said in a release on the new line. He describes the products as "solidly crafted executive chairs that are not only beautiful, but also extremely comfortable."

Staples said the chairs are made using stain-resistant, heavy-duty fabrics and leathers, and that exposed wood parts have an 11-step scuff-resistant finish. Height and tilt controls allow the chairs to be customized to the sitter's preference, and lumbar support promotes comfort.

"Understanding that the Trump name personifies quality and success, and given Staples' commitment to offering our customers new and innovative products, teaming up with Donald Trump is a perfect fit," said Ron Sargent, Staples chairman and CEO. "Together, we have built a collection that reflects high quality and elegance while also being affordable."

The chairs are available at Staples stores and online at www.staples.com .

Lexington Home Brands introduced the first collections in its licensed Trump Home line at the spring High Point market.
