Wobble Chair


When we moved, my wife made me get rid of the chairs I built about 30 years ago. She is really short and the chairs were normal sized and when she sat in them, her feet couldn't touch the ground and if doesn't work for her, it doesn't work for anyone.

I had been using one of those chairs at my desk. As a replacement, Wife decided to give me one of her chairs, chairs for midgets. So I was sitting with my knees approaching my ears, my eyes at desktop level and my hands on my keyboard like a zombie clawing his way out of the grave. Hurt my knees, my ankles, my wrists, my palms, my ass.

And at the new home there is limited opportunity for exercise, at least without taking your life into your hands or traveling about 100 miles.

A wobble chair seems perfect. I can adjust it to the height I want and it will also give me some exercise as I sit here trying to engage with you.

Came from Amazon and of course I had to put it together. I could have paid Amazon $100 for "expert assembly" but took the risk and did it myself. Procedure was
  1. Open the box, take out the base, seat and post.
  2. Place the post in the base
  3. Place the seat on the post
No tools and it all just fit somehow magically together. I am now an expert assembler. I could probably expertly assemble 50 of these a day. I think I could contract with Amazon and I will be willing to let Amazon have half that amount, leaving me with a miserly $2,500 a day.

I might come out of retirement for that.
