renaissance poisson

I have one (with a more desk-chair-like seat) that I've used as my computer chair for well over a decade. It's comfortable and very sturdy (when my children were smaller I could have both on my lap without it getting tippy or anything), but not only does it totally slip my mind for months at a time that it has pedals, I usually have stuff piled next to it that would block the pedals anyway. The pedals are under the desktop, so it's easier than you might think to forget they are there. Anyway, enjoy yours and get strong legs and all that!
