Heh. I did. I knew we had a few entertaining people who would make fun / historical / amusing suggestions. And I think I even found a chair I like / can afford! :)

I did not expect a thread about chair recommendations to be so entertaining!
..I should have known better :)

I actually had one of these for years. Super comfortable, especially if you get the ottoman with it.

That looks like a folding chair I might actually be able to extract myself from.

How is it on your hips?

My crappy chairs always end up with my hips hurting after 2 hours.

My current chair gives just enough lumbar support to prevent problems there. That was my bigger problem before the hip issue.

I'm not a good person to ask that question. I have hip dysplasia so my problems probably wouldn't be your problems. It's a very good chair with lots of support.

All y'all with your $800 chairs. This was my longest used gaming chair and I've had it since 2005. I just can't use it in the house anymore because it smells like campfire smoke and has been left out in the rain a few times. Still, I only paid $30 for it back then, and it has always been comfortable.

I actually prefer the Herman Miller Embody. I use one at work.

At home I use a Steelcase Amia because $1,300 for a chair makes me laugh (at you Herman Miller. you're drunk).

Last year I had some company guys visiting from Italy. They wanted me to take them to an American mall so they could buy some gifts to take back with them. Along one of the corridors they had some of those chairs set out. One of the guys asked me why they were selling giant inflatable vaginas.

And you said, if the shoe fits ...

badumtish!

If you do want an office chair, there's only one IMHO.

Wow, those have gotten cheap! The last one I bought (granted, it's been almost 10 years now) was over $800.

The one I've linked to is a refurbished. I've been sitting in the same one at work for 18 years. I should buy this one.

The name of that product reprogrammed my brain a la the nam-shub in Snow Crash.
