I have hated this chair almost since I brought it home. It was expensive, so that has kept me going, but it hurts by neck to sit in it and finally, I have decided I need a new chair. So I went shopping. In the almost two decades since I bought this chair, expensive has apparently been redefined. Because the chair I wanted, was $249. Now I admit, I hope this will be my last desk chair, but for that price, I could have bought a brand new recliner. For that price, I could just pay someone to do genealogy for me.
Now I know I am cheap and all, but seriously, don’t they make cheaper chairs that have a lumbar support in them?
So then I went to Walmart. Saw a nice chair on clearance for $34 that would probably do what I want. But here’s the kicker. The test drive chairs were on a display, 4 feet off the ground, and they were bolted to the floor. Seriously? How do they expect a person to know if this chair is comfortable when they can’t sit in it? So, I came home with nothing. And I still need a new chair. Or a bigger wallet. Maybe I will just buy the recliner, and give up the desk altogether.
