Old folks had the best chairs

There has been a situation. One I've had to deal with, because it was essential to my well-being. You see, there are two positions in which I like to express my laziness. One of them is lying down, either on my back or sideways. The second one is by sitting. Of course, sitting on a bed can be nice, but without back support, you can't be comfortably lazy for more than a few hours at a time.

My point is, you need a good chair, and mine just broke.

This piece of crap I've had for a few years now, has been the support behind those long nights working on regretting the excessive procrastination. It has broken down a few times before, nothing serious until now though. It was usually the armrests, being loose to the point of falling appart. This week, the back of the chair, consisting of a large plastic piece, ended up snapping in two, right in the middle. The result isn't quite comfortable, as it hurts my back, and I can't see myself using this chair any longer. The search for a new chair is on!

First of all, I had to consider what kind of chair I wanted. Leather is out of the question, sticky in the hot summer days, ends up cracking after a few years. I'd much rather have another fabric chair! The problem is, after shopping a bit online, the only chairs I could find that were of higher quality than mine were over 200 bucks. Kind of expensive for a student budget. That's when I remembered. I love chairs with metal frames.

Wait a minute...do they even sell those anymore? Not if you don't want to pay thousands. All plastic, everywhere you look. God damn plastic. Well, there's always the used market, right? Right.

Thanks to kijiji and a very nice guy from Brossard, I present you my recent aquisition:

I must have a thing for old furniture, but this chair suits me well. I don't see it breaking for another 25 year, even if it probably is that old already. And for 20 bucks, who can complain! I love my old chair.
