I bought a new computer chair today

I'm so proud of myself. I put it together with my own 2 hands (and 2 feet and 2 legs and lots of epithets). I think when my SO saw I had it put together, he was trying to decide how long it'll be before it flies apart and I'll need his help to put it back together again. I think I should've used duck tape and cement to hold the screws in place, just in case I didn't apply proper torque.

Good for you, Shannon!!! When we bought our last computer chair I could barely open the box it came in!!!

Finally wore it out, huh?

Way to go, Shannon!!! Won't your SO be surprised when it stays together!

Sandy, he won't be the only one that would be surprised. Thanks for the congrats.

CinderellaCastle, my old one was in pitiful shape. All 5 casters were gone, the back chair rest was crooked. It needed to go to a better place.

E, it was a challenge to open up the box. I need to find the tape they use to box things up like that and put it on my kids' bday and Christmas presents.

make s/o sit in it first to make sure it holds people

My 7 yo was the guinea pig. So far, it's held up. But it's only been a couple of hours since I put it together.
