Title: My God, this chair is the devil - it will be the death of us all
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 10, 2008, 12:54:06 AM
I just moved in a few days ago and have not had the time or the resources to get a proper chair.  I've been using the following and after extensive time in it today, I'm beginning to feel the kind of pain that no words can describe.  It's like the pain of eating five Famous Bowls and a gallon of orange juice in one sitting.  Behold the horror:

Those are the type of chairs that make me leave BBQs and weddings early. Pulling the mattress up to the desk, then standing on it with your knees to use the computer would be a MUCH better set up

Why don't you put that pillow on the chair for your back?

I tried - it just falls through or constantly slips.  I tried using a pillow on the bottom and I think it made it WORSE.

I guess a platform bed is kind of redundant, since it's already laying on hard wood floors versus hard wood slats.

The bed rawks.  When I furnish the place over the next two weeks, I'll post a walkthrough.  I love this place.  Furthermore, it's so great to finally live on my own.  Nobody but myself!  Free to masturbate with the bedroom door open!

Oh and Willco, how old must one be to work at the EBGames? 17?

Yes.

Give me some time!  The dollar amount to get this place was pretty high, plus I was paying rent and whatnot for my old place through January.  I'm a dirty poor.

Actually Willco, my chair might be even worse than yours.  My computer chair doesn't have a back.  It broke off when I fell backwards in my chair last year.

you should've gotten a stool.

or this might be kind of distinguished mentally-challenged, but maybe you could move your entire computer/tv/other stuff to the ground in a way so that you can use it easily from the bed?

naw - I got a local office supply co who delivers at that price.

Real aeons too with the ergo pad and the cable adjusters.

We have ordered ALOT of equipment from them tho - perhaps the buying power is helping bring my price down....

Isnt list just $600?....even at $600 the chair is well worth it - I am of course sitting in one as I type.

Check out this one...
I mean if youre going for a look youre going to have to go all in. Also that chair is bad for your legs, get something else. Hard flat seat chairs eventually cut circulation to your legs over time and cause back problems. The general rule is to buy a tall-back chair if you suspect you'll be sitting for long periods of times, buy a short-back (task chair) if you plan on only being at the desk long enough to do a 'task'. There's also mid-back chairs which are a nice compromise because they keep your posture straight like a task chair but are better for longer periods of SIT
Might I suggest Think by Steelcase:

Sustainable.  Cradle-to-Cradle.  Ergonomic.  User-friendly.
or
Aeron by Herman Miller:

List price of an Aeron Chair is about $750+ unless you get discounts as a distributor and/or designer.  Also, though a lot of people like the Aeron Chair because of the prestige that follows Herman Miller (and not that HM isn't awesome - they kick all sorts of ass) I still prefer the Think Chair.  It's comfortable, ergonomic, sustainable and and stylish.  One feature that Think has that Aeron doesn't though is that it is USER FRIENDLY.  To really use an Aeron Chair properly literally takes a tutorial session by a HM rep.  For the Think to work properly - you sit in it.  That's why it's called the Think chair.

Patel - I may not be the best person to ask about the Think chair.   ;)  See italics above.   :P  DISCOUNTS.

Mups - Yay!   :D
