    Danny, what a great video, I love stuff like this. There is NOTHING wrong with these efforts. You got great chairs at a great price and get to give them a second home rather than them spending the rest of eternity in a land fill.

    Danny, great video!! I have 2 mesh chairs also. I could not find any mesh chairs used in my area so I bought both of them from staples and paid about $300 for both. They are my first mesh chairs and I love them. Much better than the $400 gamer chair that I had that only lasted a year and a half.

    Folding camping chairs also work decently as spectator seats for hosting people.
    Also can't recommend enough changing the stock wheels on office chairs to rollerblade style, it's about 20 bucks but worth it as they don't get stuck the standard wheels tend to from getting dirty, easy to change out too.

    I picked up a second hand chair from a Goodwill in Canada for $15 with lots of comfy foam padding. Lasted 10 years doing double duty as a cat scratching post.
    Even as just a scratching post, $15 Canadian for one that lasted 10 years is a bargain. And it was often a cat bed as well.
    Would still have it but had to move from Toronto to Kelowna BC had to leave it behind.

    Just helped a client upgrade their router and on the way out the door was given a free chair in perfect condition that my Wife is now using at her art desk. My office chair cost nearly $300 and it wasn't even a year before the padding started sinking, the gas cylinder stopped staying up, and the arm rests started peeling.

    Just watch out with those when getting them used, because depending on the piston being filled with hydraulic oil or compressed air (the cheaper compressed air ones are the dangerous), if it is damaged a bit, it can shoot the inside steel rod up your as s in like a brink, and i'd hate to see you getting violated by a 30cm steel bar just for wanting to save a bit of money :D
