It has a headrest, which is weird because I ordered a chair without a headrest. And what's also weird is that it can't be removed. But we have another Capisco (an older model) without a headrest in our office, so it gives us some more variety.
Are they expensive?

I didn't see the price of mine, but they seem to be extremely expensive...

So it's unlikely I will be able to trick my company into buying one for me.

You could try to find an occupational therapist who says you need it. 🙂

It would be easy to find a therapist who said I need something, like a lobotomy or a straight-jacket. Maybe not too many would say an chair would help.

Who knows. Maybe they sell straps as accessories, so that you could get the chair instead of a straight-jacket.

I think you have something here. An ergonomic chair with restraint systems. I can think of a dozen people at my company alone that could use one of these.

It's a bad idea to play ark in a game of chess.

Hm, maybe I should apply for a patent for it.

When I play him I usually learn something. But it is a bad idea if you expect to win.

How is the other one going?

I managed to make him mad in our game. 😛 But I am sure he'll still win.

I'm down a pawn in the other one, but I have a feeling he'll pull something magical out of his bag of tricks and murder me.

A pawn is a lot against a good player.

I have a kneeling chair at my office also. I switch between the kneeling chair and the regular chair every hour. I find it helps my back a lot. I should order a second one so I can have one at home too.
They are now putting comfy office chairs in schools. They are in a few classrooms. My chair at home is a cheap piece of junk. The one at the office is an extremely expensive ergonomic computer chair with coffee cup holders and is able to recline. Close to $450 cdn.

I have this huge inter-school curling tournament for the next few days, so I won't be around for a while. Not that I hang around this thread as much as I used to. But I do agree it is time for another spark in this thread. Maybe chairs will be that spark.
