   You poor guy. Maybe you should try replacing it with a nice trusty inflatable ball. They have less moving parts to break.

   I believe that the standard herman miller 12 year warranty applies.

   Hopefully?

   PS, if it does apply, it seems like it’s worth $900 of hosting credit. :)

   $900??? Why not get a few spares and buy 6 of the $149 alternative. Been using one of these to carry my 6′6″, 205lb derriere around the office for a few months now. Comfy, fabric breathes nicely for you folks who sit around in the buff all day, and comes with a 15-year limited warranty too… What more could you ask for!

   But, hey, whatever floats your boat carries your keister.

   *sigh* That “$149 alternative” link is supposed to point to
   to this chair from Stables.

   I weigh 416 pounds, so breaking chairs/beds/sofas is the norm for me. I spent $3000 on a treadmill, but it just sits in the living room behaving like Arthur C. Clarke’s “Tycho Magnetic Anomaly”. Perhaps it will begin to induce intelligence one day…

   You need to buy rubber furniture.

    That sucks, at least though when the chair broke you didn’t fall in between a desk and a filing cabinet and then have a friend come in to see you stuck and then try to stick pens into your butt crack.

    I’ve been using an IKEA Jules chair for almost 4 years now, I replaced the stock casters with some smoother ones but only problems I’ve had with it has been screws coming loose overtime but some lock-tite would fix that.

    Plus like the others said that chair should still be under warranty.

    It’s not your fat bum that caused the chair to break! It’s the piece of crap chair you’re sitting on!

    Once knew a guy locally that ran his own webhosting/designing business. He had his office stocked with these weird looking ergonomic posture chairs. Comfy as hell though.

    Your belly is not big! You’re not even fat! lol. I agree with Jennifer…it must be the chair. How about getting a niceone at IKEA? ::P

    Oh yeah thanks for jinxing me, I broke two casters this week on my chair. Now I have to grind the nuts off and weld new ones on.

    I’m blaming it all on you. ;)

    Man… all the chairs in my company’s CyberCafe are those.

    Maybe we could borrow one for you. hmm… Now if only I could figure out how to get it past the guard, 16 cameras, and the spinning security door thingy. ;-)

    I’d cry if I broke my Aeron! But as the other guy said the warranty should definatly count.

    Best chair aerons, anyone who says go for hte $149 alternative is crazy. Nothing beats them.
