2010 Year of Pleasures #37

New desk chair

Our beautiful antique tulip chair has finally died. For some reason, 50 year old plastic did not hold up to the two giants who live in this house. I nursed it along for as long as I could. I even poured resin to create a stronger seat but eventually even that cracked. It was time to bless that chair on its journey and say goodbye.

Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, I think it was giving me carpal tunnel. It was not exactly ergonomically designed to be sat in for eight hours a day.

Luckily, Overstock.com came through for me yet again and I got this chair in no time. The design is modern enough for me to be happy, it was affordable, and it’s got all those modern adjustable features to keep my wrists at the proper elevation.
