I do have various sources of noise in here, so its not noticeable all the time. However, I do notice it a lot when everything is quiet. It might be worth contacting the manufacturer, but as an engineering type, I was wondering if a squirt of grease in the right place might be easier :-/O. |

I just readjusted mine and it seemed to stop it - at least temporarily. This leads me to think the noise is coming primarily from the adjustment clutches micro slipping. |

All the office chairs that I have ever had the misfortune to come across have played havoc with my back. I had to sit on one for an hour and a half last week for a meeting. The next day I could hardly move and it took three days for the effect to wear off. That was the first time I had to use such a chair for several years, i avoid them like the plague they are. Who ever designs them should be sat in one for the rest of their life. |

I always buy the (real) professional grade second hand ones which cost like $1000 when new. Forget about the crap they sell at Staples or Ikea. --- End quote --- Why are very good chairs so expensive? --- End quote --- Quality materials. Real office chairs need to be designed to have someone sit on them for like 8 to 10 hours per work day for 10 years or more. |

Slightly OT but since we have the mighty crowd of chair enthusiasts gathered here: What model // manufacturer can you recommend leaving the price aside for the moment. I am looking for a decent chair for my new workbench and was thinking Miller Aeron for a while now - Suggestions welcome :) Edit: I saw, that this will conclude my 666th post here on the forums! |
