Never heard of Homemakers, do you got a picture or at least the name of the chair?

This is so hard because people say they have nice chairs, but it's impossible to know what the chair is or its product name -__-;;



Sorry Torte. I just checked the chair and then googled it. It appears it's specific to Homemakers, where I purchased it. Here's the link to the chair: http://www.shophomemakers.com/product/Office/Desk_Chairs/Executive_Leather_Chair/5/38/823724/.aspx

I dunno if they ship to Canada, somehow I doubt it, but this is the one I have in my room. It's very comfy for long gaming sessions.


We have it here, the arms are too short and curved down.

My chair has like 7 inches of straight before it curves.


Fair enough. Good luck in your chair hunt! :D

Torte man up and sit on a lawn chair with a 2x4 across the arms for your monitor and your mouse, and then your keyboard on your lap. Spending $150 on a chair? Geez.

Doesn't even fit in my room lol!
150$ is too much? Thought chairs were generally pricy. All the ones I've seen are.

I wouldn't know, I've never really bought a chair. Usually just use what ever is laying around.

One I found:

Apparently free shipping - might be something worth looking into, sounds pretty awesome.

Staples and Office Depot always have store-special on chairs. That's how I stocked my offices generally.

Also note that they're usually very nice coupons floating around that you can use to make the thing rather affordable.
Thank God and gunrun.

Also I find that putting a folded bathroom towel across the seat and another folded towel draped over the back of a toilet makes it very comfy.

Been to three Staples, no luck.
No office depot here I believe.

Curved arms. Why do they make them curve? It doesn't make sense to me, I use the arms to rest my arms on it while my hand is on the keyboard.

Why have it curved down and thus I need to keep my arm afloat more?

The industrial fan is because my room has no circulation and to keep my laptop from overheating if I ever game on it.

I need one of those. My Asus can legit burn the skin off of my legs when I'm using it in bed.

Why are you so god damn picky about chairs.

See what you guys need is something to hold the laptop up so the fan underneath has more room to blow. Like an upside down footstool.

And I agree, you are picky and spoiled.

Did you not read my family's history with furniture? They don't get rid of anything. I have this dress that I've had since a kid that is sitting in my condo right now. The bed that is disassembled is maybe 15+ years old? Look works (sorta).

Once I get a chair, it's with me for years. I don't want one I'm going to hate forever and regret purchasing D: Plus, I do a lot of work at this desk, I don't want to be uncomfortable, exhausted earlier than usual because the stupid chair isn't right

this is what I use for my laptop. Really useful and great.

I'm very picky yes, spoiled? I'm not sure how. It's my fucking money. It's my place, I don't want to buy something that isn't what I already know I like.

anybody check out the other miscellaneous items on his desk?

I see a knife, but nothing around to cut.
I think I see the handle of a toothbrush. (clean teeth!)

In response to the thread:
Aeron seems to be the buzz word among people getting chairs. If you keep this chair for 35+ years, it might be worth it. I don't know, I never sat in one, but I've only heard good things.
