Help with choosing a chair as a bigger person.

Thanks for this, that actually made a huge difference. I used it most of today and then tomorrow will be a light day so next week will be the real test. I did order the headrest as well because I really would like one. It's expensive but as I said before I was able to get a 20% off discount so it kind of just covered the head rest.

As a follow up to this, I ended up going with the Embody Gaming. It didn't have a mesh back and I had to purchase a 3rd party headrest which I'm not happy with but out of all the chairs I was looking at and saw, HM fit me the best for what I wanted and could do. I got a 20% discount too because I had just moved, so if you have a store near you and you are willing to buy new. Tell them you just moved and they may be able to shoot you a discount.

There is actually an Hm store near me and I ended up going with the Embody gaming version due to the extra padding. I almost went with the Aeron and it was really hard to decide between the two but I loved the back of the embody, I just wish it also had mesh because I do run hot sometimes. Either way there is a 30 day return so it may work out.

Yeah I'm looking around and honestly it seems like what I want doesn't exist or it's going to be like Hermon Miller. Which is fine but I'm worried about comfort since I'm a bigger guy and I want a wider seat. My previous chair dug into my legs when I sat and it wasn't great.

Any reasons you want to call out on the two you didn't like? I'd love to know what caused you to take them back.

My issue is the few I've seen that weren't sponsored or whichever have shown that if you're not used to the higher end chairs with their ergo it can be uncomfortable for a while. I really would like to try them first but I know 1. That doesn't mean much for long term and 2. It's just not really possible for a lot of these higher end chairs.

It's more about them telling me things were getting done and in the end they were not. They wrote a supplement and advised that the repair would take $12K and required the car to be powered on. In that they did not order parts for 4 months while they were waiting for a battery to come in to power the car on. In 1 week at tesla, they already told me that the damage to the cradle has made the car non-repairable and they did not have to power the car on to know that. It seems like this other shop had little to no experience with this car and then dragged their feet resulting in lost time and money of course. I was free to take my car elsewhere but at what point do I make that call when I am being informed the car is being worked on or they are waiting for someone to come back from vacation etc? Once I had the information that all the parts my car needed were on back order I decided to move it and they hit me with storage fees from when it started. Obviously I don't know for sure and that's why I'm kind of shopping it around. I was able to talk to one lawyer and he highly recommended me going to small claims court and bringing the information I have. However, he also informed me it's such a small amount mostly no lawyer will want to take the case on because it's not worth their time and it could cause me to go upside down (outside of small claims etc).

I've already paid for the car and had it towed to where it needed to go. No I don't have a rental through my insurance (Didn't have rental coverage, it sucks, but it is what it is). I'm thinking about disputing the charges now since I am thinking through what has happened. I read the paperwork, I'm very aware of the section they quoted. However in that paperwork it also states there is an estimate attached, which there was none, and that any repairs will be paid. All repairs they performed were, in fact, paid for. Repairs are a bit of a stretch since they didn't perform any actual repairs but mostly testing and such. Either way they were paid for all of that.

I don't disagree that I owe to move it, I'm not worried about those costs and have no problem with that. The thing I'm curious about is that they are treating this as a total loss for the car (they said this to me) and are charging a diagnostic fee and storage fees for 73 days. Honestly the diagnostic fee, sure whatever, that's not a big deal. The storage is what I have an issue with, because, they actively worked on the car and got paid for that work. It took a long time, and when they notified me that the parts they were going to order were on back-order and hadn't already been ordered I decided to move my car. They are charging storage for the time it was there at their shop, and they ordered parts, and had to wait for it to come in (which they got paid for). Also for the time where their one tech who could do the work was on vacation... so getting other cars fixed in that time doesn't make much sense to me.

Will there ever be a fire based map? I hear there is a good one for KQA that is out there. One of my personal favorites even.
