I really do. Such good deals. Like this chair I got.
For some time no my office chair has been broken...the seat wobbles and it feels like the mounting bracket is pushing through the cushion and against me. The other day I figured I'd look into what the problem was. Turns out the plarticlboard that the bottom of the seat is made of fractured, and the bracket really was pushing into the bottom cushion. As it also turns out the actual bracket has fractured. So the seat's junk and becoming more uncomfortable each day. I really noticed it a couple days ago when I spent almost all day working on the computer.
Now, when I bought it I bought a warranty for it that covers basically anything that happens to it. I've already replaced it once last year, because the wheel broke off (damn plastic). This year however I discovered that the print on the receipt and slip had faded completely off. I called Staples customer service and they were very nice about it, but told me because the slips were useless they could only send me a gift card for what I paid for when I bought it. This would be fine, but I got it on sale. This was all before Christmas.
I decided that I would put the money towards a nicer chair. The one I had was fine, but there's a really nice black leather with red stitching aluminum framed chair I want. However I have other more pressing things to pay for, so I want a temp chair to last me until I buy the new one.
Enter Craigslist. Found one for $15 about a half hour from where I live. The couple were very polite and showed me it. All that was wrong was a couple small rips in one of the armrests and it doesn't turn on it's base very well. Sold!
It's quite comfortable with nice thick padding and I like that the armrests aren't hard plastic. For $15 I can't go wrong.
Now if only the damn cats wouldn't claw it up.
