Am I right in thinking that they took the Star Trek chairs, which were
modified commercially available chairs:

tore off the modifications, sprayed them green and put them at the
Kitchen table on the Brady Bunch Kitchen set. I don't have a picture of

the Brady Bunch Kitchen but when I see the show, those chairs look
familiar.


Also, Brady Bunch started production around the time Trek was ending
production.

Both are swivel chairs, but the resemblance seems to end there.
They're clearly not the exact same chairs, with or without
modifications.

There just isn't that much variation in swivel chair design.  Same with
salt shakers.  That's why for Man Trap, they couldn't use an of the
exotic salt shakers they got because nobody would know what they were,
and had to settle for ordinary everyday ones.
