Same. I buy them used and my entire family (kids included) has them for their desk.

They’re incredibly comfortable and long-wearing. The gas cylinders are replaceable when needed (cheap and straightforward albeit a lot of force is needed to break the old cylinder free from the base).

If you want to save money, find one with a flat cylinder. Many people assume they’re not repairable.

I thought I was gonna break the chair getting the base off. I had to get the biggest rubber mallet I’ve seen and just WHAIL on it. Chair was fine. Better than new after!
