I’d finally had enough of my office chair - “old ironsides”. It was one of those solid-steel monsters with 50 years under its belt and 100 more to go. But sitting & programming for 8 hours was rough - to say the least.
One of those Herman Miller jobs would have been great. But as a new business with no revenue, I thought the money might be better spent on things like…umm…getting revenue.
After sitting in every chair at Office Depot, I finally found one that was surprisingly good. It’s called the Patriot (which is cool, ’cause I love America). It has more adjustments than any other inexpensive chair I’ve ever seen. Look at all those levers!
It’s been a few days since I got it, and I’ve had a noticeable decrease in wrist and back pain.
The construction seems pretty sturdy. I’m thinking it will last a few years.

How did you get it for $99? I just clicked to office depot and it’s marked $129.
Hi Claude -
It was actually on sale at the store. Probably should have mentioned that.
If you have an office depot nearby it might be worth the trip.
Is it as comfortable as a Aeron chair ?
Hi Tarek,
Sorry for taking so long to reply…I was out of town.
Is it as comfortable as an aeron? Probably not. To tell you the truth, I’ve never tried an aeron.
But a $99 chair that can be adjusted to my exact sitting position…That’s not too bad.
Hey I finally bought two of these chairs online for $99/ea.
I attempted to place the order for pick up at my local Office Depot, but the price kept going back to $129/ea. so I had them delivered.
Thanks for the tip.
Good luck! I hope you like them. Mine is still holding up well.
