I am looking to get a new chair for sitting at my desk. I have looked around and most chairs are either too tall or damned uncomfortable.
If you guys have any recommendations.
Something I can lean back on, with a headrest.
I am short 5'5" so I am limited in the chairs. I am one of those guys that can dangle his feet in most chairs lol.

you and i are coming from the two extremes. One thing I will say is this: Many office chairs are sold based on how much time you plan on sitting in it. Do NOT get a chair for light duty. I would personally even avoid a medium duty chair as well. I have what "was" a very comfortable medium duty chair which is still fine everywhere except the arms. The arms have really started to deteriorate and while it still looks fine, it is really uncomfortable.

And while chairs are really expensive (especially the heavier duty ones), do not throw away money on a chair that is only going to last you a year or two.

I have been looking around online for chair for quite some time... yes... slow at work Smile.

I might just have to do something similar to what Roger Arrick has done.

This is so much more do-able now with flat screens and wifi.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison

it appears to be an old picture. judging from the keyboard and monitor, I'm guessing around the time of the Mac II series, before they switched to PowerPC.
