Ahhhhh. I bought a new desk chair.

It fits! It's tall enough! I decided I needed to spend part of my tax refund on a good chair since I spend so much time at the computer.

It's very comfortable -- and it wasn't that hard to put together.

1. My dear Catshrink..........

Good for you!

A really comfortable desk chair can mean the difference between bliss and real discomfort......

Just keep telling yourself: I'm worth it!

The Masters-Tugg chair costs over Three Thousand Dollars. It's rated to hold a 750-pound user.

3. Nope.

no way, no how. It was about $100 at Costco. Very easy to put together and very comfortable.

750pounds????? I guess it's better than 2 chairs, one cheek each.

4. It explains on the company's website about the load rating

This is a company that makes chairs for unique situations. A dispatcher who weighs 600 lbs contacted them to have a chair made. They built one, shipped it to him, he liked it and told his friends.

Big people have big friends. They contacted the company asking for them...so they did what any logical company would do in this case--went into low-volume production. They won't sell a lot of these chairs because of the nature of the product, but at the price they set they'll get their money back.
