Ignore him.


It looks good and is quite a bit better than the folding slightly padded chair I have.

You won't get proper padding for anything less than $100. So unless you will buy a new chair every 3-5 months or only use this for an hour a day, invest in a proper chair.

I don't plan on keeping it forever. I just want it as I am low on cash and want a good chair that will last me until I am at least 18.

The problem is the foam in cheap chairs will stop being foamy very fast. There's a so called index for foam densities and the one in cheap chairs is very low. You'll be sitting on the frame in no time.

> zip it OR solder it shut
That doesn't seem so bad. Especially compared to the wooden piece of shit chair I currently use.

That true.

So explain why you have plenty of foam.

I never did like armrests on a desk chair. They always seem to get in the way.

I have a busted sofa that has decent foam cushions. I can just take the foam out and put it into the chair (with adjustments, of course).
