I'd done some research online, but nothing can take the place of actually SITTING in a chair and feeling how it fits.
So Wednesday evening, after picking up my grocery order, I started into the lane that went home, but the lane that led to the big box office supply store was empty and I thought, what the hell, no time like the present.
So I drove over and parked and then sat in practically every office chair in the store. My requirements were these: mesh seat covers (much cooler), ability to remove the armrests, and that it felt OK.
Less than a half hour later the big box was in the back seat of my car. After dinner I put the sucker together. I need somebody with strong hands to loosen the big knob underneath so I can make the thing lean back, but otherwise it's good.
You know, those little things...

Looks great, all it needs is a " Bluebird" to perch on the back.
Enjoy the new non-sinking chair!
Although it was a pain to have a sinking chair, it makes a funny story. Congratulations on finding a new chair that works. I have two Ikea plastic rolling chairs that I never thought would work, but are incredibly comforatable- never would know looking at them, have to sit in them.
Chairs, shoes, jeans and wallets all need to be seen and tried before purchase!!
I had a chair that did that. I fixed it by taking out the lever that raises/lowers it. I did finally replace it as the fabric on the arms was looking pretty tatty. One thing I didn't know before I looked for ways to fix that chair - those mechanisms have a weight limit. That might play into the the price difference between seemingly identical chairs.
We'll not discuss how I was going to remark on the fabric design, until I realized it's a transparent mess. Time for more coffee.
Can you give us more information on the chair? It looks like something that would work for me!
A lot of those types of chairs have the same generic type 'legs'. I once had a favourite chair that would lower itself so I bought a cheap one and changed over the leg base :)
That is what I did when the office supply store had a sale. Love my chair.
