Noisy office chair.

<< < (3/10) > >>

steve30:
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.

You can't buy a decent office chair for that kind of money. 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.

Why are very good chairs so expensive?

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!
