Just picked a cheapy $70 office chair and... - GoFuckYourself.com

StuartD · 01-19-2008, 07:17 PM

I just got home and put it together and I must say, it feels way better than the $300 office chair I had. Plus, the arm rests aren't the only thing holding up the back of the chair.

I know, I'm gonna get comments about how cheap I am on my chairs but I really do have better things to spend my money on. This $70 one was supposed to be an in between chair for a bit but I actually find it quite comfy. So now I don't know.

Hehe similar threads kind of going on. I buy chairs around 200.00 and have to replace them usually once per year.

expensive doesnt mean comfortable sadly.

I've been there and done that with the expensive chairs. Generally no matter what the price, You'll need a new one in 8 months.

yeah, pretty easy. Just figure out front from back and left from right on the chair and you're good.

Although this one was one washer short.

i once remember i spent at least half an hour trying to put together a stupid chair

but it was really a bad model and i needed to give it back

at least they confirmed that something was wrong with it, so i felt better knowing that I don't suck THAT much at it...

Catalyst · 01-19-2008, 08:10 PM

Yea.. the girlfriend just found a chair on Craiglist.. for 40 dollars.. and it is fucking nicer than mine..

I replace 2 to 3 chairs pers year ( out of 4 chairs) but I lean back a lot..

farkedup · 01-19-2008, 08:38 PM

I never spend over $125 on my chairs... My current one is due for replacement. Its one of those mesh type ones that is normally really expensive but I got it 75% off and used a coupon and its lasted over 2 years butthe bottom part has stretched to the point where my ass sinks down to the metal if I sit just in the wrong way...

DaddyHalbucks · 01-19-2008, 08:39 PM

Chairs last me a while. Carpet protectors don't.

I have a Herman Miller Aeron office chair that costs around 1500 Euro, it's the best and most comfortable chair I ever had (no more back pain from 16h at the PC), I now use them at home and the office and I cannot imagine using computer without this chair. The one at my office has about 3 years, it looks like new and these chairs have 14 years of warranty

iSMOKE · 01-20-2008, 12:48 PM

I think mine was $25. Theres a slit in the cushion from it getting so old and worn out and the left arm rest broke off one day when i was pushing myself up to get up. It still gets the job done...

goood find!

pocketkangaroo · 01-20-2008, 01:11 PM

I think the only problem with the cheaper chairs is they just don't have a long lifespan. I've found some that sit well but for something I'm in 8 hours a day, I wanted to get the best.
