My computer chair had gotten as old and tired as I was, so I decided to bite the bullet and get another one. It arrived, we wrestled on the floor for most of a day, and I finally got it put together and wheeled it into place. The difference has been phenomenal! I've had it for a week now and no more backaches, no more neck and shoulder aches, and no more whining from me. Excedrin is taking a hit, sadly, as I'm not using near as many. Life is goooooooood!  |

Ok, mmhmm - spill it! You can't post about a life changing purchase like that and not give us the make and model (and hopefully cost if it's not too personal). I hate my home office chair. It's a corporate auction hand me down and the pneumatics don't work. I spend way too much time sitting on my ass not to be comfortable! I have a birthday in a few weeks, let's make it easy on DH... |

My new one is a DX Racer. It's a gaming chair. They're not pretty but they're really supportive and that's what I needed. I got one of the Formula series gaming chairs because I'm slender and under 5'9". They go by height and BMI when recommending the right chair for an individual. They're not horribly expensive. Mine was about $350 through Amazon.  |

I use a similar furniture-assembly method! I call mine "wrestle and swear." I judge the complexity of a project by how much swearing it requires to accomplish it.
Congratulations on the new comfy chair!

This did require a measurable amount of swearing, pausing for cat removal, and more swearing. The parts are heavy and the seat parts are bulky. Once you've got the legs under the darned thing it gets easier. This was moderately complex, I'd say. Without the cats, I might be able to downgrade that to minimally. |

All the gaming chairs look much alike except for the colors and the various sizes. They have office models but, from what I understand, they're not as supportive. Mine is black and yellow, since my computer room is yellow. They really are nice and very well made. I'm sure DH would love one! |

mmhm, does it take a vote of the board to remove the "Chair"? Pun aside, how beautiful each day is has everything to do with the chair you have to occupy all day long!!

Believe me, this chair has made a big difference in my days. They're a lot more beautiful when my spine isn't screaming. |

Mine was about $350 through Amazon. I was going to say, your old corporate auction hand me down, is probably better than the chair I have/use. But at least my old corporate auction hand me down, has working pneumatics! I can't even begin to imagine paying $350 for a chair. Although I'm sure it's worth it and you deserve it, it just isn't in my budget. That being said, can I have yours, when you're done with it?!  Happy new chair to you, mmhmm!    Wanna race?!  Maybe not. |
