It actually exists. I'm surprised, but I have no reason to be.

I know! There are even some higher quality chairs available that aren't just two office chairs glued together lol
This is "I'm obese, have a job, but also a budget".
Tbh I think the biggest weakness of this specific chair is the balancing act of raising and lowering both sides.
It's just pure laziness that the mechanisms aren't ganged together somehow. This is seriously budget-minimized.
It really is, but I think that specific choice made the chair barely useful. Not that they could've done that cost saving somewhere else, probably. But by then I'd be asking myself why not just buy a nonadjustable chair, you know?
You know what? I think these are cool? I like to fold my legs while sitting and normal chairs are just too small for that.
They are pretty damn expensive but you can get them from any supply house. I'm sure Grainger has one. I'd expect to spend between $400-$1000.

You know what? I think I’m fine by just putting an old sofa in front of the PC. Pretty sure no one would mind at work too.
I like to put my legs on the arm rests. Sometimes if I’m sitting “normally” (not fully sideways) I put just one leg up.
100% me. But when I do it in the office I know people are looking at me like wtf
Is the Mississippi model?
This is The Bavarian.
Average moderator desk chair
I was just going to say "American medium".
This is like the forbidden German super tank of office chairs.
It’s Barry Atricks chair.
Average USA office chair
I think Edward the 7th had one of these when the Throne started splintering under his enormous reign.
I’m nowhere near bariatric, but I could definitely use one of these. lol
