New office chairFollow

Ok, so after fighting with the damn thing for over an hour because the part that connected the seat to the back was more warped than it was supposed to be, I finally got it put together with sheer brute force. I've never bought an office chair before so, what I need to know is, do I have to "break it in" to get it to stop trying to bounce forward when I want to lean back, or is there some way to make it so I can just recline in peace without putting my feet on the wall behind my desk?

You called in an FFE on your chair? Holy ****, that's sum srs frustration thar!!

Subarcana, I am mesmerized by your avatar and wish to know the source from whence it came.

When you found out it was warped you should have taken it back. Now you might be stuck with a lemon chair!

Also, ...a used one?!

Just recently my brother's chair went. It was a good ol' boy.

He had it for like 2 years, and then the first wheel broke off. And not just the wheel, the plastic/metal rod holding it in busted, practically no hope of fixing. So he just kept using it.

Then about a month ago he broke a second wheel. And he's a big guy, 6'4", probably 300 pounds or more. He leaned back in it really far, so far that you'd think the chair would bust, he'd fall over, or the backside would snap in half. Very often he did that, and sometimes loud cracks could be heard, though from where on the chair he never knew.

Just a couple days ago I sunk down into it and totally busted off a third wheel, along with maybe ~5 inches of plastic leg. So he had the brilliant idea of just taking the remaining two off completely. Well then something in the center of the plastic limb-star was further down than the wheel-less stubs, so it just pivoted on that central point.

We just trashed it at that point.

Here's to hoping that your chair will fare better!

I meant the Kevin Smith avatar, fart-face!
