Nice chair and I'm damn glad I did not have to pay for it. In the past I have found it best to go to a used office furniture store for a chair. The problem with buying new is the chairs always look nice and spiffy in the store but you have no idea how well it's going to hold up to day to day use. At the used furniture store you can see exactly what holds up and does not. Plus the prices are always better used than new. my $0.02 Josef -- FreeBSD 6.3 | Josef Grosch | Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing jgrosch@juniper.net | swords is no basis for a system of government.
