Title: Look what I haz
Post by: Lain1911 on Tue, 12 August 2014, 11:04:50
I found these 5 mins away from my house 4 for $5 each.  :D
Good things come to those who wait...And I've been needing a chair for 2 years!

Yes, those are some nice chairs.  If they are the ones we had in my old office, they are very comfy.  However, all that foam padded leather gets hella hot after about 2 hours sitting in that chair.  Your @ss might sweat a bit, but they are comfy chairs.  But you can't really complain about a comfy chair that costs $5.

Nice snag! ^-^

I'm kicking myself for not grabbing some roadside gold the other day, cause I really need a new chair. :(

Now the phrase "going Dutch" make a bit more sense. Just a bit, though.

Did you say chair races? I have such fond memories of office chair races on the corkscrew ramp parking garage... maximum danger, but great fun.

When we were rolling them to the cars I mentioned getting pushed in one but we were in downtown and could have ended up in the road. And my parents always told me not to play in the road :( ... :) Also considered police involvement. Maybe I'll take one down the driveway :D
