HA! Actually the worst part is that, I've been using it broken for around three months now, and I haven't gotten around to purchasing another one. :/
Was one of my first purchases in the great state of Florida and it broke in three days sending me and my keyboard smashing to the floor.
But alas I finally have a job now, and I will go to Wal Mart eventually and pick up a new one..whenever I can spare the 30 bucks for the next one up.

LOL....we should go together Beth! And purchase matching chairs or something stupid like that...LOLz
And I love you hon, but I just busted out laughing when I read that. I almost did the exact same thing at 6am the morning my chair went snap. And it was a heavy chair too, so I was lucky that my filing cabinet was behind it.
Now I sit in the papa san chair and remote desktop from my laptop to my PC instead of having to sit in a dining room chair.

LOL Brady we SOOOO should, especially since now I have a car and some money, we can go do that, I'll give you a call on Friday or so when my cellie comes back from the Verizon superstore, we can head somewhere and be like..we need chairs that don't break dude...we are HARDCORE L33T GAMERZZ.
Anyways, my story goes that I bought the 17.99 Wal Mart super special student chair, figuring a student chair will be good enough, untill moving to Florida my computer was set up on the family bartop downstairs, so I would sit on a hard wooden barstool...yes..my bum hurt over the years. So I bring it home, Dad set it up, and I started sitting on it. For everyone who isn't Brady, my computer is next to my bed but has nothing behind it, so on the third day, I leaned back too far and SNAP, chair broke, me and mr. keyboard went flying and on the way down I hit my 125 some odd CDs on a CD holding tower. So now I either balance on the broken chair, or I sit on my bed and play.
If anyone has any suggestions for a reasonably priced computer chair that me and Brady can go check out, be my guest.

ROFL!!
Beth, you are hilarious...and no wonder you're not answering your phone...you broke it or something?
And yes, chairs that do not break are vera important. Also realize that there are certain things that you should avoid doing in your office chair that will reduce (sometimes significantly) the life expectancy of an office chair.
And poor mr. keyboard...thankfully mine's wireless, so if that happens, it'll just go flying. While I'm on the subject of wireless, wireless phone + wireless router + wireless keyboard + wireless mouse = bad combination when in close proximity. Took me a week to get the darned receivers in the right places so it wouldn't crossover :-\ must...get...bluetooth

It's worth splurging on a chair versus spending $50 once a year replacing your cheapo.
Now, the ONLY reason my nice, spacious, high-backed comfy one ($120 at Fred Meyers) broke is because a) I have the really bad habit of flopping/jumping and leaping into my chairs as well as leaning back reeeeeally far and b) at 170-180 pounds this is a Bad Thing To Do.
Metal sounds really cool when it snaps.
So does my head when it smacks into my bed post because I was being an idiot.
