so i have an office chair that started going down today and wont go back up.been using this chair for about 2-3 years.remembered the article about the exploding chair in china.is there a chance my chair will explode?
I've been using office chairs for 10yrs and that has never happen. There isn't enough pressure for that gas cylinder to do that much damage to kill you. If your chair won't go up, you need to replace the gas cylinder or if your the lazy type and don't want to take it apart, just buy a new one. I guess only chairs made in china will kill you lol.
This is why you buy Aeron's http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/work-chairs/aeron-chairs.html (expensive)
I could buy the folding chairs for less than 5 bucks...so there...lol any commendations for office chairs/Executive Chairs for around $100 bucks?
The aeron's feel amazing. If you've sat in one, it's almost worth the money. There's always eBay auctions going off so you can get a pretty good $800 chair for $500-600 used. These don't really wear out like your normal chairs, it's designed for long use and you don't tire out (butt) on them like regular chairs cuz of the mesh. For something you could use the rest of your life in an office or home especially sitting for 6 to 12 hours a day, it ain't bad.
