Yeah, I’ll fess up; I do a lot of sitting. And in my case, it tends to be in one chair; TV viewing in The Chair, work (from home) in The Chair, reading often in The Chair, iPad or laptop usually in The Chair. The Chair is about 8 years old and has developed a chemical like stink to it – I’m blaming it on the microfiber material and right or wrong I’m not interested in buying another microfiber chair. Yet, here I sit blogging from The (stinky) Chair…
My quest began with my old standby, Craig’s list. As reflected by past posts, I’m a fan. I’d much rather buy quality used than piece of junk new. My wife isn’t so enamored; she’d prefer I stick with quality new. Quality new is an elusive character. I have no doubt that you can easily spend $500 or so thinking you’re buying a quality chair only to quickly lose that loving feeling a year or so down the road. In my frame of thinking, I’d rather gamble $200 on used. Even if the gamble doesn’t pay off you won’t feel too bad about shopping around in a year or so. Thus, despite risking the wrath of wife, my initial focus was on finding a quality used chair.
