Time for a new Chair!
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 2:07 am
Its been 3 or 4 yrs since I bought my current chair and its starting to show its age, Yeah my big ass wore it out!
I currently have a Serta big and tall high back office chair and its pretty much been disappointing.
In the first year the gas height adjustment gave out and the manufacturer's(Not Serta) fix was to send me a new gas unit.
Yeah not much of a warranty. I beat on it with a BFH with no success. I was lucky that I could take it apart
and take the base to work and use a hydraulic press to get the old one out! That gas unit is pretty much done again!
With that said the chair is pretty comfortable just not that durable.
It used to be you would go up to Office Depot, Office Max or if your city has Staples.(StL does not!) Pick one out and take it home!
Well that sure has changed! I started looking a couple weeks ago and DAMN, there's probably 100 or more chairs out there now!
So, I'm here to find out if anyone here has bought a new chair fairly recently and what do they think about it.
For looks the new Racecar inspired chairs are nice looking, but I'm afraid they may not hold up to 6'2" & 325lbs!
Yes they do offer some heavy duty chairs, but in some of the reviews and comments a lot complain about hard cushions to no cushion at all!
Comfort is a big factor in my choice! That and $400 to $600 for a chair IMHO is hard to justify! But for the right chair maybe?
Ok, lets hear it!
