CSB: I decided to treat myself and buy a new chair. I bought a new one about a year and a half ago, which was a replacement of the same one I had before that. Don't change what works, right? I swear I had my old chair for years before replacing it. At least 5. But, who knows. Anyway, this one, after like a year, the fake leather started to crack and peel on the armrests. It got so bad that I fully peeled it off on one side, and re-upholstered it poorly with a Chemical Guys microfiber cloth
. The other side started to crack and peel as well, so I figured just fuck it, it was time.
That chair was like $230, which to me already seemed like a lot for a chair. But I splurged on one of the Secret Labs chairs, since I have a couple friends who rave about them. Well, $490 later and I got it today.
It's definitely a different feeling chair from what I had. Not necessarily in a bad way. My old one was one of those super plushy types, that you sit in and just sink into like you're sitting on a cloud. This definitely has a much more firm feeling to it. Materials feel good though, and the lumbar and neck support is great. Will give it some time and see if it's worth almost $500..,
