The Chair Situation

The current chair is bad. You've sat in it. You know.

I'm replacing it with something built for people who spend sometimes the better part of a 12-hour shift sitting on a computer. Before I order, I would like two things from you: your chair preference, and an honest read on whether you'd like to chip in and help cover the cost.

On contributing:

No pressure. If you only pick up one shift a month, your opinion still counts. If you're here every week, maybe kick in a little bit of cash. The logic is simple — the more you sit in it, the more it makes sense to have a say in what it is. Whatever you can do is appreciated. Whatever you can't is fine.

The benchmark. Three size options so it actually fits different bodies, mesh back that doesn't trap heat, and a tilt limiter for the people who lean back like they're watching a movie. Built to last.
