sort of hardware...computer chair.

mine is falling apart (5 years old i guess)...one of those Bestbuy kit chairs. $50? can't remember.

Does anyone have any leads on a high quality comfy pc chair that would last a lot longer than 5 years? no other furniture in my house falls apart in 5 years.

probably needs wheels, swivel...lean back...height adjust i guess...maybe all those features make them not last long?

and padding that doesn't permanently squash over the years.

I just keep buying whatever $50 deal is on at OfficeMax/Depot whenever one breaks.

(We go threw about 1-2 chairs a year. )

Mine get destroyed too easy by kids/puppies/kitties, so I don't see the point in investing heavily in 'em.

I have a plain simple wooden chair since 15 years, should last decades more .
yeah, cheap desktop chairs with all the features you want fall apart. also, a normal chair doesn't move, is more stable, so I find I'm better with it at quake3, CS etc.

my chair was deceptive, it looked pretty sturdy...large bolts holding arm cushion to chair arm...that snapped last year. musta used crappy metal.

i don't like the idea of throwing away a chair every few years. surely there's a brand name that has a reputation for quality and durability?

i found out our office chairs cost $600 (they weren't 100% sure about that though). high quality but that sounds way too expensive. is that what you have to pay for high quality?

I bought the echair two months ago and it works great.
