Of Unstable Office Chairs.

Of Unstable Office Chairs. The chair I sit on while typing these posts is one I got from Amazon not six months ago, rated at over three hundred pounds supported weight. I'm 285, and slowly losing weight as my diet improves while my activity level gradually increases, so I thought that this $85 office chair (assembly required, no biggie) would LAST. For a long time it's been creaking and moaning rather loudly, especially when moved around the floor. My wife kept telling me to fix it, and I tried, but everything on it was still tight, so there wasn't a lot I could do about it. Now the seat is tilting uncontrollably, so I went onto eBay, found a sturdy-looking office chair rated at over 400 pounds, and, using the last of my PayPal Credit line, put it on order. It's due in a week. In the meantime, my ass feels like it's balancing on an exercise ball, and my legs are bracing against the floor, trying to prevent my being dumped out of said chair onto the very hard ground. Not fun. CAN THE LARD-ASSED OLD MAN KEEP THIS UP UNTIL SUPERMAILMAN BRINGS HIS NEW CHAIR? THE ANSWERS TO THIS AND OTHER QUESTIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE IN A WEEK; SAME BAT-TIME, SAME BAT-CHANNEL! Life rolls on. . . .  |

$85 is throw-away money for a proper office-grade chair . . rated for 300# and falling apart already? did you buy it from A**F**F ?

Might be better to find a used office furniture store and shop their selection. Possibly find a high-end chair that's well built and will last longer...plus you can test it on the spot and see if it's comfy! Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!
