I can tell you this - I bought a chair that cost a few $$$ - kids broke
it - but it took a while. It was a VERY comfortable chair. I bought it
at the local office supply place (we have one here). I could sit and
transcribe forever - it even rocked so I could rock the wee ones.
Finally HAD to replace it and decided to go with a cheapie because it
seemed comfortable enough in the store and I figured since the kids now
play in it less, it might last at least as long the other. BAD IDEA -
after 15 minutes of sitting every bone/muscle from my hips up ache to
high heaven. Saving my quarters now to get one of the big buck
ones...and one of those electric shoo pads that keep the animals and
kids off it!! (just kidding...about the pad...sorta....)

I think when it comes to good chairs, beauty is in the HIPS of the
beholder! LOL
Everybody is built differently. I agree with the poster who was making
the comparison to car seats. I drive a Volvo, my fourth one, and I
really do like the way the seat hits me in the lumbar area. I am on
the road a lot each year, and the Volvo seats make my journeys
comfortable.
Funny story. Do you all remember those chairs which came out about 15
years ago that placed your knees underneath the seat portion, as if you
were almost in a praying position. These were the talk of the town, on
all the media. So I had to get me one. As I was putting it together,
my friend began to laugh. He said, "How are you going to use the foot
pedal?" Well, I hadn't thought about that. End result, it's still
sitting in my garage in brand-new condition, but with spider webs on
it.
To date, I have a wide-seated chair that I bought for 125 bucks which
still does the trick for me. It goes back and forth, up and down, and
hits my knees in a great location. I think one must try out the chair
before buying it. I too have purchased chairs from Staples which felt
great in the store, but when I got them home and sat in them for a day
or two, they became weak.
I did recently get turned onto these back supports from QVC that I
mentioned in another thread. When you get the Ax in the Back Syndrome,
the "Travelon Cool Mesh Back Support" is a godsend and only 17 bucks
for two fo them. They are very lightweight, have an elastic strap, and
can move up and down. Sometimes I don't use it, but when I've got the
Ax in the Back, I place it exactly where I want it, and it relieves the
strain immediately.
Speaking of Ax in the Back, if I don't get to typing, I'm going to have
the Ax in the Back tonight. All this great discourse about dogs and
chairs has piqued my interest as I'm sipping my Pleasant Morning Buzz
coffee. It doesn't get any better than this at 6:00 in the morning for
me. LOL
