Oversized casters help there, too. *If he goes with the masonite, the

No, because the pneumatic cylinder is usually adjustable enough to

Bummer.

Umm, all I can say is "RUN AWAY!"

That's a cardboard chair with maybe half an inch of padding in it. The
heavy-duty cylinder you see is really a cheap plastic cover over a
puny cylinder, I'll bet. *($10? *When I bet, it's a sure thing, 'cuz I

Id agree.

If you want a GOOD chair..hit business closings. *Office furniture is
seldom sold *at the auction except in job lots...and often you can
give the buyer $20 for a chair of that sort..because they are their
for the filing cabinets, etc etc

The ones to get are Aeron brand.

IMHO, those are both overrated and waaaaay overpriced.
