So, nothing to do with Charity as such, more the whole ‘chair’ thing.
I got a new chair this weekend. “Big deal!” I hear you say, well yeah, but it’s a nice chair, it’s my chair, it’s my blog, so I’ll talk about it! Even after my rant about vanity blogs. Anyway, I’d had my other chair for a few years now, and it was getting a bit battered. The leather was splitting on one side where it was banging into the desk, it creaked a lot, and the seat cushion was slowly getting thinner and thinner. So I decided the time was nigh to buy a new chair.
I duly dispatched myself to Staples to see what they had, and found a nice big chair made by a company called Lane. It’s supposedly a Staples exclusive – I think it must be, because I can’t find it online ANYWHERE, nor can I find it on the Staples website. Still, it’s all leather (except the bits that aren’t, obviously) and very comfortable to sit in. It’s a little higher than my old chair, so it doesn’t go under the desk as well, but that’s something I can live with.
My chairs are always dual-purpose – for use on the computer, as well as for use watching TV, so as long as I can do both, I’m happy. I’m sure I was an odd sight in Staples, going from chair to chair bouncing about, spinning around, and fiddling about. Then again, if I’m forking over my hard-earned cash for something, I expect it to be good! If weight is a measure of how ‘good’ something is, then this chair must be fantastic. The box weighed a ton, and it took a while to construct, but it’s worth it.
Ahhh…. comfy.
In case you didn’t notice, today was the two-minute silence, to mark
