****** has been parked in a Knoll Life chair for the majority of the last few days, and will be for another week or so, and its pretty awesome. The plastic base is fine, but you have to upgrade to get adjustable armrests.

I find this strange. The Aeron is probably the most adjustable chair out there. Some feel it's too adjustable, like trying to get comfortable in a 16 way power seat in an automobile.

The Freedom is the opposite. I hope it works for you because that's one chair I would recommend trying first. It tends to polarize.

I like the leather Leap myself.

The craigslist tip earlier in this thread is valid.

12PM -- found listing for a brand new Aeron chair with all features.

3PM -- met random guy in parking lot

3:15PM -- gave guy $300 in cash

4PM -- arrived home with brand new Aeron chair

Didn't ask where it came from; didn't want to know.


So...you accept the fact that you may be a thief? you just don't want to confirm it?

Technically, the Craiglist listing went something along the lines of "this was a gift and now we have a new baby blah blah," but.. the chair was worth more than his car. Who knows? How would I know? Wish the guy the best of luck with his kid. It was cute and in a car seat.

That makes no sense. Just like your views on what the word "drop" means along with when you complained your ex had ******** with another guy and sent the video to you but then she magically showed up on here to call you a liar.

If you're a thief, I think you should just confirm it and get it over with...people may think your bad to the BONE.

Yes, then I'd post it in the what manly things did you do today thread. Unfortunately, you are correct, my entire life is a lie. What would have done in the situation? Demanded a receipt? Why do you follow me around this forum?

So when you imagined the guy taking your girl to pound town, was he wearing non-iron shirts and did he have a 4 inch drop? That would have pissed me off. To no end. Anyway, mon ami, you knew what you were doing and the possibility of a theft - you just didn't want to confirm it. That's not something to encourage. All kidding aside, you can probably get enough of a discount elsewhere without resorting to shady exchanges that leave open the possibility of theft. Happy holidays.

You know, I got those shirts MTM from BB. They came back quite slim in the body but the sleeves were the same as the regular model. Not even the slim fit. Very disappointing. I am no longer a non-iron believer.
