Sh*t bought online whilst on lockdown....

I semi feel your pain, I had mine go on my Star Wars LE after about 2 months, luckily still under warranty with Phil, so sorted quickly. The fix on the new boards is a cable tie!
I assume they have sorted it on later models.
Watched a few vids like that one, they do make it look easy. My worry is if I attempted something like that my botched repair may take out another node board or the main board knowing my luck. Ridiculous that Stern have basically turned boards into consumables, faulty board? no problem, just replace the whole board, easy.
My failed board had the fix already
.I'd love to see some stats on these boards failing, people tend not to mention it especially if they had a free replacement but I'm pretty sure it's quite a number.
Yeah, I have been looking at these two, but as a Gaming Chair, but in my home office.
Still deciding though!
It's a good idea in principal, if only they weren't so damn expensive.
What do you think to it? Would you recommend it? Is it comfortable for all day use as an office chair? I've got a Herman Miller at the moment but I don't find it particularly comfortable.

I need 2x 2m lengths of treated 100mm wide wood (or decking would work!) Cant get any unless i either Queue for hours on the B&Q website, and even if i do they want more in delivery charges than the wood costs!
Yeah I like it. I've been working from home the last few weeks, no problem with using it all day. There are similar, cheaper chairs available but I liked the look of this one and felt it would be better quality than the cheaper ones.
The Omega is a bit smaller than the Titan.
Yeah I will have to go for the Titan for size, although the Omega has a nicer shaped seat base. It's a lot of money for a chair that you can't test first...but god it's beautiful
and set falsely high as only available from stern at the moment, there is nothing really unique on the boards
you want white primer not gloss paint.
primer first then gloss white for us Phil.......
It arrived today. I love it. But now I need to stop buying stuff. Buying stuff means working more. In my comfy chair.
Worth it? It looks nice!
So far, yes! It's quite firm, but comfortable. Quality is great. Very premium. It's supposed to take about two weeks to break in fully, but I have no complaints so far. I bought this to replace my Herman Miller Mirra Operator and it certainly seems a lot nicer to spend a day on.
@Rob zombie , don't want to contradict but I think that money spent on boring stuff like chairs is entirely sensible.
I think that if folk actually sat back and thought hard about what made a real difference to their real quality of life, a decent chair might make more of a difference than a fancy car
Mad ?
If you spend 8 hours in a bed
8 hours in an office chair
8h in a lounge chair
1/ 2/ 8/ 16 h watching tv ....
8h using online connectivity
8/ 16/ 24 h a day in rooms that would benefit from AC
1h a week in a convertible car costing 40k
Makes sense to get these boring things right and they cost far less money

Around 20 years ago I bought an Herman Miller Chair which cost me about £750 new I think that chair is about 1k now.
that Chair was a game changer for me so 5yr later I bought another but fully loaded it up with every extra and the polished metal frame.
I’ll not say how much it cost but I’ve seen them 2nd hand for a couple of hundred quid on eBay so my advice stay clear of the Facebook viral ads to suck you in and get something that actually sits in the NY Museum of modern Art and has comfort like no other.
Best part is spend 8hrs in it and your **** doesn’t sweat like those big leather jobbies.

I used to get back pain every day, I switched to one of those weird kneeling down posture chairs which look really uncomfortable (but they're not) and my back pains disappeared.
It doesn't look good, but if your worried about back pains I would recommend it.

@Colywobbles , I agree 100% I bought second hand Herman Miller ones for my wife and I a few years back
