    Damn it my but my chair kicked the bucket tonight... the hydrolic doohickey went kablewey and I don't like sitting 6 inches off the floor...
    There went my coin budget for the month.... except my loving woman perked up and said... I didn't get you anything for your Bday yet... so find the chair you want and go for it... (oh I coulda been such a bad boy lol) So I got the one I've been wishing for but wouldn't "buy" for myself lol...

    Yeah that's the GTRacing GTPlayer GT800a... reclines with a foot rest and usb massage thingie in the lumbar pillow. in silver carbon fiber and pu black leather. you kiddies didn't think I was gonna go neon green, blue or red did you? Hell no!!! not for 30-70 dollars more just for color. (though I could have gotten it for 15 dollars cheaper in 2 tone pink.... I'm cheap but not that cheap lol)
    Bout damn time I upgraded my throne [​IMG]

    Good luck with your new chair. May you kill all those little Space Invaders that rain down upon you.

    Hehe over a period of at least 15 years it has served me well... and I got it 2nd hand (though near new). I've replaced the wheel base and shock twice and all the castors/wheels 3-4 times each, and use a beach towel over it 99% of the time now as the split faux leather pinches/scratches. I thinks it's time for a new throne :D

    Me thinks you should have gotten one years ago. Nice choice on this one.!! Nice chair with the bells and whistles. I was looking at these myself but went cheap with a $69 model. :(
    Good Luck!!:happy:

    I haven't bought any whistles or bells . . . just comfort. A Steelcase Leap chair (used off of eBay) for my engineering work,

    and a Herman Miller Aeron for the ToughCOINS office (free with accumulated eBucks, back when they meant something!).

    I looked around to find one for my chair but didn't find anything.
    So I've been going "shockless" for a number of years (5?).
    The current chair is just a bit lower now than I'd like but still useable.
    But other parts of it are failing so a new chair is needed.

    Mind you, I spend 80% of my day in this chair. It is not a low use item and being that it is my "primary" seating in the house, I damn well want something comfortable and long lasting... So yeah spent a bit more then I might have otherwise

    Try the XChair. Only $1900.

    Or $2300 if you add the Footrest, FS360 Armrest, Locking Wheels, and the Cooling, Heat & Massage Package.

    Before upgrades...
