Les Jones: Office Envy

Nifty > Office Envy

I need an office like this.

BTW, has anyone found a chair better than an Aeron? I bought one for Melissa last fall and I plan to buy one for myself before the end of the year. If there's something better out there I don't know about, clue me in quick.

PS: When Melissa moved in I bought her a Bassett oak mission desk from Lowe's. At $275 they're a bargain for what you get, and beautiful, too. They're built really well, and have a slide-out keyboard/mouse shelf with ball bearings, and a detachable wooden cage for the PC. I had a local shop make a glass top for $60. That desk should last for decades.

(I, on the other hand, use a 10 year old particle board special that one of my previous employers was throwing away. Ah, married life.)

I need a new office chair. Mine busted yesterday. I can't justify paying the cost of an Aeron, but they do look nice.

I wish I could find a site like epinions.com that actually had reviews for this sort of thing.

I just want a comfortable chair that will never break. Is that so much to ask?

I broke a chair once. It was at a startup that was pinching pennies and buying used office equipment on the cheap. Right in the middle of a phone call, I was.

That was the kind of chair with the back that slides up and down/back and forth on a metal or plastic arm. I've still got one at home. No more, though. A one-piece, high-backed chair is the way to go.
