Is your ass ok?
Try not being fat
>>53819026
the ass portion of the chair survived. using it until I can buy a new chair tomorrow
>>53819030
funny thing is, I'm not even fat. Wasn't even really leaning on that armrest - no idea why it broke

I am (according to some medical related sources) considered obese, despite being only 205 lbs and 6ft tall.
Additionally, I have that same chair and it has given years of good service. The only thing wrong with it is some of the upholstery is wearing on the armrests.
You're a fat fucker, that's all you have to say.
>>53819019
Grabbed a decent leather chair at a thrift store for 10 bucks, I'm super happy with it. Maybe doesn't look as sleek as a gaymer chair, but it gets the job done.
My old chair was a soldier, lasted me 5 years before it snapped.
I used to like sitting on it backwards; knees on the seat, chest on the back rest and chin on top of the head rest, comfy as fuck but it took it's toll.
All cheap office chairs are shitty plastic and plywood wrapped in sponge.
It's a shame the chair tiers go [shit]->[retarded car chair]->[$1000+ mesh chair], I'd love a high end office chair that I wouldn't have to sell a kidney to afford.
>>53819357
I find cheap plastic lawn chairs with some cushions pretty nice.
>>53820238
do you weight 500 pounds or something? a good chair should last ages. I've had laptops last longer than that.

>not laying in bed

>>53820267
No, but it wasn't a good chair and most of the time I didn't use it properly.
>>53819019
I have a friend who had that chair, the armwrest broke on one side similar to that, he had to lob the rest of the fucker off and use it as a stool for months
>>53819019
FUCK man it's been looong since I laughed so hard, just from seeing the thread in catalog ... Thank you op.

Thanks for reminding me
I've had this one since october, haven't had it for long to say if it's long lasting but it feels rigid as fuck, way better than any other in it's price range, high headrest as well.
>>53820346
I've got soul but I'm not a soldier.
>>53820933
why do people like these shitty office chairs so much? why are they so prevalent?
>>53820988

The leather teared up a little bit but that's it. Other than that it's still in very good condition. Why the fuck would I replace it if it fits my ass just fine?
At least I don't break my chairs every month like all you fat fucks here.
>>53820178

Strawman and false, I replace my chair every year and give my sell my old one online and usually within the hour the ad is up some poorfag buys it and because they're dumb as bricks I make a profit too.

Technology is suppose to make things cheaper yet office chairs continue to get more expensive every year.
Feels like a scam going on behind the scenes.
Anyone else feel the same?

>>53819270
You don't need to worry about that. The piston shaft in office chairs points downwards. If it exploded(doubtful) and busted through the surrounding material(even more doubtful) it would hit the floor, not your ass.
I know because I took the old piston apart after replacing it because it wouldn't hold air

One day the chair meme will die.
Trust me /g/.
And how it will die will be when hologram monitors plus keyboards get invented which would free ourselves from the desk as the hologram monitor and keyboard would be able to follow your view wherever you are in your house or office so you would be freed from having to stay at a desk so that means that people would stop buying these office chairs and would get their work done on a nice big sofa or couch, instead.
The bed works fine too in such a scenario where a hologram monitor plus keyboard is involved.

Nah, I got my 32 inch screen on a $150 monitor arm so I don't have to look down nor have the weight of the laptop numbing my legs.
Note order the amazon basics one it is the only sub $300 one that can hold the weight and you need to mount it high enough since there is basically no height adjustment when that heavy

Better than trying to roll over a carpet edge when you WANT to move.
It's not like the wheels will roll unless you push the chair.

Otherwise, I could see that as being pretty comfy, though I've never been much of a floor person.

Find what? If you're talking about sitting on the floor then just replace your current (tall) table to a shorter one, a chinese tea table maybe
Just spend more money on your chair. These fuckers thinking it's to do with weight are retarded. Those crappy $50-100 office chairs are made at the lowest possible quality. I spent $600 on a chair and it's lasted me 10 years now, with no signs of wear besides the leather.

I like how they just released that big study saying there are no real tangible benefits to a standing desk, it was a just a ile.
My shitty office fell apart like 2 years ago and I resisted the Herman Miller meme and avoided DX Racer as well. I ended up getting an Torreta model from Arozzi because it was nice but not super expensive. It's a nice chair and it's not falling apart so I'm happy.
>>53822803
I actually often sit like this but in my chair.
Man, after seeing that one picture of a broken chair and blood on the chair and floor, I'm fucking scared of staying or lying on my chair all comfy.
What do? I'm 140lbs and I had this chair for a long time so far.

>>53819019
You got that at staples? And how old was it? And they offer protection plans within a certain time frame so you wouldn't have to pay for replacing it.

This is what I use.
The cushion is kinda hard, so my ass hurt for the first week or so, but it feels pretty good on my back, and makes me feel less lazy.
You need a standing desk to use it however.
>>53819019
I bought what appears to be the same chair from amazon two black fridays ago since it looks somewhat comfy. It hurt my back and has no support at all.
Bought an Embody and now that one sits in my garage. I sort of regret how much I pay, and it isn't exactly plush, but my ass and back don't hurt after long sitting sessions and it has a long ass warranty so hopefully it was worth it.

How well does the leap last for cushioning and through the day? I've heard the more recent builds have cushions that flatten and hurt your ass after long sitting sessions, whereas the embody has the plastic spring matrix so that doesn't happen, but it isn't every really soft and is always firm.
I was torn between the two, but the embody looks nicer and seemed like it would be more support and breathable in the long run and make for a better day to day chair.

>>53827471
Not him, but I've had my Leap for over 4 years and am a fat fuck - never had an issue with the seat cushion "going flat" or anything.
However, that said, if you can afford the extra cost for the Embody, just go with the Embody. The Embody is one of the objectively best office chairs you can buy.
>>53827522
Already have the embody and even with the fancier fabric. I like it quite a bit, but I still feel like I don't have it adjusted quite right, but that may also just be my bad sitting habits. I tend to slouch in my chair and sit with my legs crossed.
