That's too bad about the chair! Do you really think that it's going to help you, if it feels bad to sit in it? Do you think selling it would be an option if not? I hate stuff like that. I don't have that happen much these days, but I used to occasionally buy things that turned out not to be good for me, and then I'd obsess over what a bad decision it was (aspy!)I hated the chair. It hurt to sit in it. The lumbar support is very aggressive and inescapable. The bucket tilt that is supposed to make it easier to sit in that chair for longer periods of time is manipulated by your feet, your ankles more specifically. And I mildly sprained both ankles overdoing a run last month. The chair has been moved to the other side of my desk. I will figure out an amortization schedule e.g. how many hours do I need to sit in it per day or per week for me to feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Maybe it's not something I can just jump into and expect my back to get strong enough for it not to hurt. I probably need to change it up with my other chair several times a day until my sitting muscles don't complain so hard with the BackStrong.
We have recycling dumpsters in the community. I broke the box down and dumped it. When I get NC, I'll get her a shiny new supersize box from Staples if she finds my cat tree forest and Katris collection to be lacking.
Sorry you sprained your ankles!
Hmm. "NC" -- I like the sound of that
