Q:I have a single chair that has been in the family forever. There is a piece of paper glued to the bottom indicating it was produced sometime around 1750. the name Armstrong is stamped into the bottom of the chair. I am looking for any information on this particular chair or manufacturer.

is it African wood? Is it upholstered?? If so, it could be worth about $500+ depending on the condition - try eBay or goggle to see if you can find any antique dealers, or call your local antique shops, If it's an Armstrong chair, it's worth something - if the paper is a signature, it's probably made by the craftsman whose name was Armstrong - Is it a scrolly stamp?

Q:Im looking for a good OFFICE chair for someone with chronic back pain. what I need is an affordable, sturdy chair (heavy person). After about four hours at work, even getting up, the chairs ive had to this point just dont fit right and i think they may be contributing to my back problems. Im 6'4 and most of the chairs ive used are also seemingly too short for me. Some chairs are very insistent on their lumbar support which really hurts me badly. it should be wide (for, so am i) and preferably high-backed, in the sub-1000 category, and rated for fat people. Anyone know the perfect chair here?

you want the back somewhere between 110 and 120 degrees. A full back chair (Manager Chair/Executive Chair) will help. The biggest thing you could do is fit the chair to you, dont try and fit yourself to the chair. That is how you end up with pain in your neck, back, shoulders, hips, etc.

Q:i'm told will take away power chair(obama) would like to hear if this is true or just rumor?

Right now nothing is set in stone - no big changes to the health care system have been finalized or approved. Right now Obama's proposed health plan talks about the federal government regulating the rental purchase of power driven wheelchairs. I think it is safe to assume that if Obama's health care plan gets passed in some form there will be changes in how the medicare process currently works. It is unclear whether it would be good or bad from the perspective of a disabled individual trying to get a new power wheelchair. In 2007 medicare paid out more than half a billion dollars for power wheelchairs - a number I'm sure has only grown over the past 2 years, so from a cash outlay standpoint it seems like it is a large enough line item for the government to try to enact cost saving measures that might impact your benefits. I think the best thing to do is to 1) get your power wheelchair now under the current rules if you don't already have one or replace your old one in case things do change, and 2) campaign for your right to a power wheelchair by continuing to do your best to be informed about the issue, make sure your friends and family are informed as well, and write to your representatives to make sure your voice is heard

Q:Can a handicapped person be allowed to take an (International) airplane? He is paralysized in one side of his body and needs to ride a wheel-chair.Would business class seats be recommended? Any requirement on the companion? Any accomondations that can be expected from the airlines, e.g. UA, ANA, American?

Yes, a handicapped person is more than welcome on any flight, domestic or international. Just be sure to tell your ticket agent so they can help accommodate any additional assistance that might be needed, and plan accordingly.

Q:I am going to go shopping for high chair of Tuesday and I need some help. My son is almost five months old.I want one that has several hight positions, removable tray (for easy cleaning), and possibly the seat can also recline to lower angle. However, these chairs are a lot pricier than the ones that don't have many position.So what kind of a chair do you have? Do you like it? What would you change on it? Do you think I really need all those features?Thanks in advance girls.

I bought a Graco high chair, and really like it. Especially the dishwasher-safe removable tray insert. It makes it so easy to clean up, Which is completely important in my life. It reclines, has adjustable heights, and moves easily with wheels. And we liked the colors. However, my two year old is getting big, and so we just had to go out and buy a booster seat for her. That being said, if I were going to buy a brand new high chair for my 6 week old, I would go with the Graco Blossom, because it would last longer. It's more expensive, but it does everything a regular high chair does, and has a booster seat, too. And I like how safe Graco items are.

Q:I'm trying to find classy seat covers for my kitchen chair and when I look on-line, all I see are the ones that cover the whole chair. I don't want to have them reupholstered due to the cost. Any help please?

Fast-Cheap and most of all, Easy...First, turn the chair over and see if there are screws that attach the seat to the frame. If so, follow these simple steps.(if the seat will not detach from the frame, this will not work.) 1st. Go somewhere like Walmart, normally in the back corner they have a fabric section. Find something you like, but make sure it's also thick enough it can't be seen threw. Get whatever you feel will cover all the seats. 2nd. Lay the Farbic good side down and place the cushion seat side down on top. Fold fabric over leaving enough fabric to cover the bottom cushions past the area where the frame attaches and cut. 3rd. Apply a strong adheasive (Gorilla Glue= Avaible at Home Depot) 1 from the outside edge of the bottom of the seat then wrap fabric tight. 4th. before the glue cures, place the seat back on the frame and replace the screws but only tighten one side all the way, this allows you to pull the fabric tight then screw in the other side. It's alot easier than it seems and costs like $8.00 per chair.Good Luck

Except for the chairThis is partially to impress my friends so i want the chair to be super expensive and look super nice, but it also has to be super high quality and worth the money.

Q:Christmas is coming up and I've decided to get myself a...Chair. I use my laptop a fair bit, and I spend a bit of time sitting on the chair in front of the desk.My current chair isen't very comfortable, just a basic boring thing.I was wondering if anyone knows of any really cool looking, comfortable, and perhaps a bit unique.(While not being to expensive)Sorry if that's a little specific, but if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thank you.

If you live near a HOMEMAKERS store, I know they have great chairs called Gaming chairs in bright colours and they move around. Like their base isn't flat, it's rounded so you move around. It's so cool. They're about $200-$300.

Q:Has anyone ever sat in a Zuo Pluto chair? How comfortable are they? They look so precarious and like your back would get very tired. But they look hella cool too. I can't decide if I should get one

Find one and sit in it. Comfortable is subjective.

Q:tell me your favorite story about you sitting in a chair..

Chris Hansen once asked me to sit in a chair.
