funny

You got me at *shrimp* lol

I was reading a similar thread and bought a Secret Lab chair two weeks ago. It’s a gaming chair - so my wife makes fun of me - but it’s been great so far. ~$575.

Yes, left arm rest is jiggly. Right one is fine. I love the body/ back of the chair. The seat isn’t wildly comfortable, but I have a Cushion Lab addition that helps. Overall, recommend!

I bought a $60 chair from Amazon over 18 months ago. Still in great shape and very comfortable.

Idea was that if and when I thow it away or give it away it won't be painful.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.
