What recommendations do you all have for 'computer' chairs?
I got a new chair in late 2005 to replace my now 14 year old chair, which looks a bit past it. However, I never liked this new chair as much, and then one of the arm rests broke. So I switched back to the old one.
Then for Christmas 2007, I was given another new chair. Again, I still don't like this chair as much as the old one. The only advantage to this old one is that the back is taller and it supports my head, which is a good thing as I have a bad neck. Rather than putting the old chair in the loft like I did back in 2005, I have kept both the old one and the new one in my bedroom, which takes up too much space.
Also, this new one is now a bit worn out, with some of the covering coming off.
Basically, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for chairs? I wouldn't mind something to replace both my old and new ones.
I am also interested to know what everyone here does for a desk.
My current computer desk was made in 1997 and we got it to accommodate the A500+ which I got back then. The desk still works OK, i.e., it will support a large speaker, a 21" Trinitron and a Model M keyboard, but it is falling apart. Numerous bits of wood have broken, and it is wobbly. Some more bits of wood broke on it the other week, so for security, it is propped up with the Yellow Pages.
I have wanted a new one for a few years, but I am interested to know what everyone else has. I will probably build one myself, then I can have it exactly as I want it, and it will be cheaper. But I have seen a couple of nice (but very expensive) desks on the John lewis website .
