Here it is. My darling, my sweetheart. She was a bit dirty after all these years of service. She is still as comfortable as when i bought her in '08. But years later i went looking for a replacement because it was getting dirty. I paid 400 USD in 2008. So when i went looking to replace her, sticker price slepped me across the face. So there i was cleaning and brushing and shinning my old chair. She looks as good as new. I cant tell you how good it is. I had four office chairs before and none held up. Yet in 14 years this old girl has just kept going. I had a problem with the arm but found a solution on YT. With zero money, 30 minutes later it was fixed.
I present to you the Sim Throne.

Is that Neo’s chair? How’d you get a picture of it in the Matrix? Looks like he and Trinity are about to ask for guns. Lots of guns.
Is that body white-painted metal or something else? If it’s metal, I can understand how it’s lasted…and it must be HEAVY.

I know, i know… not my chair. Ill post a real pic.
The white is plastic. Its fairly easy to clean even if its a scratch magnet. Most of my cleaning was on that.
That picture certainly doesn’t make it look plastic. I would expect for $400 for it to last a good bit, though. I’ve never paid more than $200 for a chair I think, but since 2008 I’ve probably gone through at least 3.
So you’ve actually paid less long-term.
I got tired of buying 100 dollar chairs that lasted a year or 2. After 4 of them i bought this… 14 years ago. There is a gaming chair version now…Herman Miller Logitech Gaming. Looks kool
Here is my old gal

I’m glad you replaced the casters with these things!

I hate rolling around on an office chair without them.

I like having wheels, but I bought a set with brake levers…I only need to lock a couple of wheels and my chair stays right where it’s at.

Great minds think alike 
I have wheels w brakes in my Amazon cart RIGHT NOW. I am tired of the awful screetch everytime i get up. Never fails, i sit down, scoot up to my joystick, rest my feet on the pedals… “DAMN! I left my drink in the kitchen!”
Wheels w brakes is the way to go.
Herman Miller Logitech Gaming? Yeah, $400 is reasonable. Almost $2k isn’t…
Fo Sho! I think 1700 is the best ive seen.
If i send you my shoe size…will you send ME a Herman Miller Logitech Gaming CHAIR ??
i am but a mere Mortal…this is My current gamming chair 
Luxury! Back in my day we didn’t even have a bird’s nest in our chairs, had to sit right on the springs!

Too Funny!! Welcome back. Never Stop playing!
Wow, roller blade wheels now LOL! Report back how fast you can get that chair rolling ha ha!
I prefer my “stumps” since I never really want my chair to move but I can still move it easily enough without having to reach down and fiddle with five wheel brakes. 
That “Stump” has been my solution for years and i love them things. But two things made me buy the wheels. Im on a third floor and my neighbor is probably sick of the loud screeching sound my chair makes when im sliding into position. Second, once i slide in i am trapped until i push out with another loud “Sreetch!” This is especially annying when i get comfy then realize i left my phone or something else i need.
Last night i tried the wheels. I put the break wheels together and rotated them to the front. Not a succes at all. When i rotate them to the back i found it easier. I can lean back to put on/take off my brakes. Im not trapped, no noise and getting in and out is much easier. PLUS THEY ARE BLUE!!!

Nice. When I used to use casters like 20 years ago, I would roll around on the carpet that I had in my office. Ended up making a mess of the carpet so I would put one of those plastic office chair mats down. Didn’t really like that either so when I had access to free glass, I laid a pane of ¾ inch tempered glass down with some of that rubber backed thin office carpet on top. LOVE IT. Solid platform. I can slide the chair around with the stumps quite easily but I usually just keep the chair in one spot and simply rotate it sideways to get up. The glass/thin carpet gives me about an inch boost in chair height too which is good because I have a very large desk. Wow, that was boring spiel LOL!

That is an excellent idea, thank you.
Negative, Ghost Rider! That is info I can use. I like my wheels, but guess what? I DID NOT THROW the casters. Carpet in Qatar is not happening but it will if I move back Stateside. So thanks for that tidbit of information.
