office chair
over the last few months, my back has taken a lot of brunt for the extended hours i’ve been spending tapping on the keyboard. the hours, the posture, but most especially, i blame the absolutely non-ergonomic kitchen stool that’s been supporting my butt while i work, for my lower back pains. it’s a cheap metal-and-wicker combo that’s such a torture to sit on, ikea no longer sells them (although the granas chair looks quite similar to mine). being the tightwad that i am, i never thought of investing on a new chair.
and then i saw the Aeron Desk Office Chair coming up in a discussion on problogger. that’s 700 bucks for the basic features, with the “full-featured posturefit” racking up to almost a thousand dollars. whoaah…
i think i’ll be needing more ben-gay for a while.

hahahaha…kung ako ang tatanungin eh pareho mo, BENGAY beauty muna ako LOL. Parang hindi na yata praktikal yung $700 para lamang sa salong-puwet. I’m sure madaming benefits ang upuan na yun, pero siguro titiisin ko na lang muna ang sakit ng likod hehe.

That’s what the US boss is contemplating on buying… Mahal pala. Maybe that’s why up to now di pa binibili.

i used to use an Aeron chair in the US and it seems helpful to working 3-4 straight hours behind the desk. But no chair can really help if you do more than 4 hours straight work di ba?
I bought an Aeron Chair look-a-like, which serves the same way at 1/4 the price : http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=104%2C108,112&webid=562167&affixedcode=WW
