Re: Chair questions

I am an avid on-line shopper but a chair for my work station is something I
would never ever buy without trying it. Nobody within a reasonable distance
sells the Herman Miller. Also the arms were such that my arm-mounted
keyboard could not be mounted on it. Now I will be using a different
keyboard I could change chairs, but I have had this one (it was an $800
chair) for more than 10 years and it is as good as the day I bought it, and
absolutely fits perfectly. If the front bar on the Herman Miller cut into
your knees, the seat was too big for you.

You had a Herman Miller Aeron that broke after only six months? Why
didn't you have it repaired? Herman Millers have something a 15-year
warranty, if I recall correctly.

Two reasons.

1. I would have had to drive it 25 miles away (including two commute
bottlenecks) during business hours to take it to my local repair place.

2. Most importantly, as I had already said, by the time it broke I was
tired of it because I didn't like it -- the bar in the front put too much
pressure behind my knees that it made my legs swell worse for one thing --
and my options were (a) to divest myself of it unrepaired and be rid of it
for once and for all or (b) to get around to taking it down to the repair
place, get around to picking it up from the repair place in a timely
manner, and then try to sell it. After the chair sat around broken for a
year because (a) never came to happen, I chose (b).

Like I said, I now have a multi-shift chair that is as comfortable as a
first-class airline seat and is definitely built to last, and I am happy
as a clam with it.
