My sister gave me this chair last year. I used it all week for working at home. For some reason it is very comfortable, no painful numbness like the cheap padded chairs at the office. Paden Cash mentioned using the swivel version regularly, now I can see why. I found one on line, agreed to buy it, just need the address. Havenƒ??t heard yet, maybe she sold it to someone else. Iƒ??ll just keep searching, eventually another one will turn up. I found an armless version in Davis but I prefer the one that looks like my chair.

I'd say it's comfortable due to the concave shape to suit one's posterior - there's probably a technical term for that.

I could go to the big box store and get a chair but in two years the arms would be falling off and it wouldn't stay up because the gas shock seals would fail and the thing would be cattywompous.

That chair has been my regular "butt bucket" for the last 25 years.?ÿ Wouldn't trade it for the world.

I inadvertently sit on balls sometimes..but it does nothing for my lower back pain.

The side chair I have has a "Sikes Company, Philadelphia" label, no year.

Great find.

Those chairs were made when they designed them to fit a human's body with contours and from a natural material that would last lifetimes.

The rollers are probably harder on flooring than the modern wide poly rollers.

The heavy wooden furniture I saw in Vietnam was more comfortable than my cushioned LazyBoy recliner.
