I don't think a good chair would help me, I sit on my left leg anyway, getting myself all out of whack and giving myself hip pain. Right now, though, I'd try just about anything. My spasms have spasms!

yeah, I do that ...when I forget not to. And I'm in physical therapy for left knee pain. Go figure!

I would love to know how many hours I've put on this chair. I've worn out one piston already.

Tally up your hours from your pay stubs and multiply by .75
The ,25 should account for all the times you had to get up, go to some salesman's office and ask him WTF is this supposed to mean?

Maybe you should get an uncomfortable one so you get up more.

skysidhe · 05-10-2010, 11:20 PM

Somehow I don't feel quite so sorry for myself. Some of you need new chairs too.

Imagine all of us sitting in our chairs moaning from the discomfort....well except for jinx with her jeep seat.

I'm thinking I am a geek

since no one mentioned how they ..just ..Love.. the lumbar support or the tilt-mechanism feature.

Well I guess balls,drum stools and kneel chairs and chairs from a hundred years ago wouldn't have those.

...although the backrest attachment on the drum throne seems appealing.

I think I am going to go with this one. It's 89.99 It might take me some time to release my fist from the cash, though, or until this chair I am on now wobbles some more.

It looks like it will jettison you if your computer crashes.

skysidhe · 05-13-2010, 08:30 PM

No that's jinx's jeep chair. It actually belongs in a moving vehicle.

Well on second thought. If my computer crashes and I flinch A LOT and grab one of those levers. It just might jettison me!

Two years ago I spent weeks looking for a new desk chair. I sat in lots of chairs. Some were too big, some were too small, some were too hard, some were too soft. I found the Allsteel 19 to be just right.

http://www.allsteeloffice.com/allste...ts/seating/19/

It was a little expensive, but I was spending about 12 hours per day sitting in it.

(I was going to include an image, but I'm still unsure about the hotlinking issue.)

Clodfobble · 05-15-2010, 05:35 PM

That's false advertising. There are clearly non-steel materials on that chair. I was hoping to see some crazy sculpted metal piece that didn't need padding because it was just that ergonomically correct.

skysidhe · 05-15-2010, 07:14 PM

Nice features HLJ!

HungLikeJesus · 05-15-2010, 07:31 PM

(Cellar God must have added that image. Thanks Cellar God.)

There was another chair that I really liked that looked like a human exoskeleton, but it was a bit expensive. If I remember the name I'll post a link.

skysidhe · 05-15-2010, 07:56 PM

An exoskeleton?

...ok I am curious now
