Introductions

My name is Chris, and I'm a Fat Guy. It wasn't something I planned, or enjoy. The only benefit I've found to being as large as a Third Stage Guild Navigator is that I'm less likely to blow away in a storm, and in an emergancy I can throw myself against doors and they always open. Walls too, sometimes.

But, even though this world is designed for skinny little people, and even though I work every day to lose weight despite a variety of factors, I still have a right to exist in relative comfort. I may be able to lose the combined weight of my wife and kids and still be a bit chunky, but I also have something to say. And a lot of that is what I've learned being a ginormous person in a world made by people who don't even understand how you can chafe just standing still. And here is where I'll share.

If you're just interested in something random and potentially witty, I have a place for that too.


If you'd like me to review your product or service, just drop me an email and I'll take a look. I can't promise I'll do it, or that I'll like it, but I'll do my best. And I'll be disclosing whenever a review has been suggested, endorsed, or otherwise influenced.

...to office chairs

Big & Tall Contoured Office Chair - Black Fabric



Big & Tall Contoured Office Chair - Black FabricI've broken a lot of chairs in the last decade.  It comes partly from being extremely heavy (my skeleton was replaced with adamantium), and partly from forgetting that I am and sitting like an eight year old.  And it can get pretty expensive replacing your office chair every few months.

My newest chair, by Global Industries,  is just what I've been looking for.  It's a bit pricey, but so far it's held up great.  It has a high weight limit, a metal base, and most importantly, the arm rest are optional.  This is a big deal.  Most of the chairs out there use the arm rests to hold the chair together, so if you're large enough to push against them, it weakens the whole chair.  Luckily I'm not too wode to use them, but if I were I could just take them off with no penalty.

I give this chair a five star rating.

  1. You are definitely, right. The best office chair is the one that fits you and your sitting style the best. Personally, I think Steelcase Leap suits me the best.
