[CQ-Contest] Chairs

[Steve Sacco NN4X]

I would suggest going to a real office furniture store which offers 
professional/industrial grade products - not Office Max, Staples, Office 
Depot, etcetera.  Chairs I've bought from them only lasted a few years, 
at most.

In 1995, I purchased a Herman Miller Aeron chair, and it's still as good 
today as the day I bought it.  Not surprisingly, and as is commonly 
found when purchasing Quality Products, on a cost/year basis, it is the 
least expensive office chair I've ever owned.

I would, however, STRONGLY suggest that, if you take advantage of the 
time, expertise and availability of a local supplier, that you purchase 
it from them if at all possible.  They ARE providing that service for 
you, and there's real value there, and you know that, because you 
wouldn't go there to look/touch/sit if you didn't agree.  To then take 
your business elsewhere seems...well...."wrong".

IMHO, naturally.

73,
