I used to have that chair. Comfy at first, but the padding in the seat area got squished down to practically nothing after about a year and a half, and literally became a pain in my ass. The back padding was giving out too and the stitching on the back panel was starting to pull out. The whole chair is really lightweight and has a cheap feel to it. I think I paid about $50 for it on special.

I gave it to a friend who just needed a chair, and "upgraded" to a heftier, thicker padded chair that cost about $90 on special. The butt padding has started to overly compress on this one too, after about 2 years of use. Definitely better than the last one, but still not great.

My next chair will probably cost several hundred dollars. I'm tired of trying to save a buck and ending up with a sore ass.

You should ask for a better chair. h:

My gf ordered some chairs for her office, and them shits were custom made for each person. They had someone measure their posture and shiet I think they were close to $700 a piece :run:
