2018-08-22 08:26:12 UTC  

:P

motherfuckers

2018-08-22 08:26:31 UTC  

Couldn't find anything nearby that had them, and I'm kinda at an in-between size on the Aeron, so I'd need to find both sizes to really try it. Plus return policies.

2018-08-22 08:26:51 UTC  

yeah go test-drive them

2018-08-22 08:27:01 UTC  

and check warranties,repair parts etc etc

2018-08-22 08:27:21 UTC  

and do the test drive properly

2018-08-22 08:27:26 UTC  

take a laptop/book

2018-08-22 08:27:41 UTC  

sit hour or so at the bench like you normaly would

2018-08-22 08:27:44 UTC  

sure it sounds silly

2018-08-22 08:27:55 UTC  

but you are there to buy thing just for that

2018-08-22 08:28:03 UTC  

not for some "i sat on it 5 minutes its good"

2018-08-22 08:28:10 UTC  

>spending so much time sitting you need to have fancy chairs

2018-08-22 08:29:01 UTC  

The problem is finding a place I can try 'em at. Wasn't able to, I'll try more before I purchase, but didn't find any good options really.

2018-08-22 08:30:11 UTC  

@johnfrum It's 50/50 that, and my current chair is pretty worn. I take care of my stuff well, so if I pay double for something that lasts 3x as long, it's a better deal long-term.

2018-08-22 08:31:29 UTC  

chairs/beds/etc are stuff you hopefully buy for life

2018-08-22 08:31:38 UTC  

so testing and sinking money on them is not that bad of investment

2018-08-22 08:31:58 UTC  

Oh, score, yeah, Herman Miller covers return shipping, and Steelcase at least has a return policy, so I can just order and try them. At $1k+/chair, eh, I'll risk having to pay return shipping.

2018-08-22 08:32:03 UTC  

(sure beds need re-springs and stuff but yeha)

2018-08-22 08:32:15 UTC  

Do people rebuild mattresses?!

2018-08-22 08:32:28 UTC  

True, but for something with as many miving parts as a modern ergo chair its closer to a car, you can keep it running but at what point do you just upgrade like a normal person.

2018-08-22 08:32:53 UTC  

when it no longer serves your needs ?

2018-08-22 08:33:00 UTC  

or is safe

2018-08-22 08:33:04 UTC  

What's to upgrade to? The Aeron came out 26 years ago

2018-08-22 08:33:15 UTC  

Also I am a cheap fuck but I have also never heard of rebuilding matresses

2018-08-22 08:33:25 UTC  

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-08-22 08:33:58 UTC  

some matresses have easy-to-open seam

2018-08-22 08:34:13 UTC  

so that springs can be switched for different style springs and stuff like that

2018-08-22 08:34:16 UTC  

Steelcase Leap(1999) and Herman Miller Aeron(1992) are the two I see recommended the most.

2018-08-22 08:34:19 UTC  

best program to ez transfer files from PC to laptop?

2018-08-22 08:34:19 UTC  

also enables you to repair said springs

2018-08-22 08:34:32 UTC  

yeah and i can vote for the leap being darn good chair

2018-08-22 08:34:56 UTC  

Huh, what an odd concept but makes sense given the massive pain in the ass it is to throw out matresses.

2018-08-22 08:35:19 UTC  

lemme find you example (if they are still a thing that is)

2018-08-22 08:36:09 UTC  

I'm kinda leaning towards the Leap, because the only mesh chair I tried was a pretty nice one(I mean, for one from an Office Depot/Office Max/Staples type store), but I hated having the soft chair with the hard frame in front

2018-08-22 08:36:15 UTC  

this is slightly bad example what i mean but current springs mostly are like this http://www.dcgstores.com/resize/shared/productimages/wolf/a9900-wolf-futon-mattress.jpg?lr=t&bw=450

2018-08-22 08:36:23 UTC  

But since HM covers shipping, I might try them first.

2018-08-22 08:36:28 UTC  

coiled stuff in their own packages

2018-08-22 08:36:49 UTC  

which factories just switch regarding "what stiffness" you want your bed to be

2018-08-22 08:38:05 UTC  

Oh, I was thinking they were like old old school chairs that needed actual trained people to replace springs for. This is pretty intrestin tho the foam would probably wear out faster than the springs
