Hello, I'm back off up to uni soon and I'm going to get a nice new chair, as i shall be sitting at the computer for great lengths of time.

I'm looking for one at about £50-£60 so I'm thinking argos catalogue time, but just wondered if anyone had a chair that either they were especially pleased with/would recommend/think looks damned cool.

:)

Wheels, Arms and a high back are of course essential.

Argos for me i think
Posted by chandler, 12:52, 20th August 2003:
 
i could add bits to the basic argos chair, with papier mache :D


or not
Posted by beargod, 12:56, 20th August 2003:
 
Could try Ikea or maybe staples
Posted by chandler, 12:59, 20th August 2003:
 
oooh good idea

though sitting on staples might hurt
Posted by Rosie, 13:45, 20th August 2003:
 
i bought a chair from staples and it was a nightmare. Don't buy from staples unless you want a headache.

how were you sitting on it?
Posted by Rosie, 13:50, 20th August 2003:
 
Not on my head - with my bum!

It was tricky to put together, all the bits were missing and when we eventually got it together - it was the wrong one!!!
Posted by chandler, 13:58, 20th August 2003:
 
lol maybe it was the right one but you made it wrong!
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:58, 20th August 2003:
 
"Not on my head - with my bum! "

Is this about unwelcome teabagging?
Posted by chandler, 14:06, 20th August 2003:

but they "eventually got it together"
Posted by Rosie, 14:19, 20th August 2003:

Posted by chandler, 15:01, 20th August 2003:

Posted by chandler, 15:01, 20th August 2003:

Posted by Rosie, 15:03, 20th August 2003:

Posted by chandler, 15:06, 20th August 2003:

Posted by arsepuppy, 15:07, 20th August 2003:
 
Yuck!
Posted by gobbo, 15:59, 20th August 2003:
 
dude my chair was from argos and was only £50-£60, it lasted quite well given how much i was sat at it. But the padding went flat after a while.
Posted by chandler, 16:04, 20th August 2003:
 
right ok cheers for the info dude.
Posted by beargod, 16:07, 20th August 2003:
 
its the same chair as mine and the one chay is looking at buying, although I got it in sale and it cost about £40, but its leather, so Chay should be weary, he might start eating it
Posted by Victor Menendez, 16:18, 20th August 2003:
 
wary.
Posted by chandler, 16:22, 20th August 2003:
 
yeah im not sure whether to get it cos of the leather.

leather is a byproduct that is to say cows are killed for meat primarily and else the skin would go to waste. but im not sure.

hmmmz

maybe i'll stop thinking about it and just enjoy the smell of it and the feel of leather on my skin
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:25, 20th August 2003:
 
perv.

;)
Posted by beargod, 16:39, 20th August 2003:
 
I have sat on my one naked, it felt could but sticky
Posted by Rosie, 16:45, 20th August 2003:

Posted by beargod, 16:46, 20th August 2003:
 
I was hot at the time, makes leather very sticky
Posted by Rosie, 16:51, 20th August 2003:

Chay you told me off for wearing leather shoes once so don't you dare buy a leather chair
Posted by chandler, 19:58, 20th August 2003:
 
heehee!
:D

and i was in a bad mood when i told you off.
i dont want a leather chair but i need one that supports my back and arms, and most of those seem to have leather bits
Posted by chandler, 20:00, 20th August 2003:
 
besides i wouldnt be able to stand the smell of a leather chair
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:35, 20th August 2003:
