I have long been envious of my mother’s big, plush, SitOnIt executive chair. We knew a guy at the factory in Brea, and hardly paid the $900+ list price when we bought it. But he’s long since moved on, and such deals are not to be repeated for those on the outside.

For the past year or so, my computer workstation perch has been a stenographer’s ‘task chair’ that I purchased for the rock-bottom price of $15 (the foam was galled on one of the armrests) from a vendor at the ACP Superswap. Surprisingly well-made, this might have been a fine chair for some anorexic waif of a secretary. But, for one of my rather Falstaffian proportions, it felt as though I was the victim of an attempted anal impalement by the Jolly Green Giant.

All that has changed today. At the sacrifice of new front strut cartridges (shock absorbers) for my Escort in my budget, I just paid $95 at Costco for a fabric-covered low-back executive chair called ‘The Titan’. It appears to be quite well-built. And while it lacks all the features of mom’s chair, it is at least 95% as comfortable.

From your standpoint – look for more from me. After all, a comfortable blogger is a productive blogger. 😀
