   The new chair really set me back but it was worth it. I sit in my chair 8 hours a day sometimes and sitting in a completely broken, fake leather ripped up so much it's stabbing me, armrest held together by duct tape type shit is just not alright, I couldn't take it anymore

     @wastelad @graf @milk I think something like this might be my next chair, I'll just have to see if they make them for tall people. Let me know if it explodes and kills you before then, yeah?

     @ForbiddenDreamer @wastelad @milk thank you for periodically reminding me that while incredibly rare that the gas lift directly under my asshole could let go at any time

     @graf @milk This is very similar to the model I have now. My only complaint is that the adjustment controls are a little stiff, not that I ever need to use them

     @milk I got an ergonomic mesh chair and haven’t regretted it

     @milk Every time I talk about chairs guys tell me to go "find one of those herman muller aerons for cheap they're always getting left out behind businesses"

     But I've never seen that happen IRL. I've heard about it happening for years, but it's probably more myth than truth. I literally just looked nearby and only found THIS gem, a "Weathered but cozy office chair"

     @Dan_Hulson @milk On the same note, I stopped buying cheap work boots and it changed my life. If I'm going to spend 1000-2000h a pair in them, I might as well be cozy

     @wastelad @milk A good chair is important you spend much of your day in it. I buy a new chair every year for around £200 and everytime I regret not just dropping a grand on a good en

     I got one of these because it's basically an Ikea Markus but much nicer (it was on sale at the time). I like it.

     @snappler @milk I had an idea chair, it was the little $80 one and it broke after a while (because I was always sitting two people on it, maybe)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @milk If a chair can't handle you at your two people, it doesn't deserve you at your one.
