Climb up to the chair for Yao Ming

Chinese young man Zhang Mengyuan (L) sits in a 2.8-meter-high chair customized for Chinese basketball player Yao Ming at a shopping zone in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu province Tuesday December 22, 2009. Local merchandisers crafted the giant wooden furniture as an attraction in run-up to the Christmas shopping boom. Zhang, with the same height as Yao, said it's the most fitting chair he ever sat in.
