This is Brian Shaw
Brian is 6'8" and weighs roughly 400 lbs. He's currently the strongest person in the world. In the above photo, Brian is sitting in a folding chair. If a folding chair can support Brian but not you, you have a problem.

I like how he mentions that keyboards are too small, but he's learned to live with it because he can't expect them to be made for his size. Unlike all the landwhales that lose their shit when a store doesn't carry an xxxxxxxxxxl halter top.

They actually make larger keyboards than the tiny POS he's using. Since he isn't a keyboard warrior and spending hours online everyday, he doesn't care to get a larger one.

I had this same problem with toilet seats last week

Was amazed at the size of the toilet in my hotel in Vegas the first time I went. Literally nearly fell in!

If you need a nice chair, get a gently used herman miller on craigslist. They're a bit pricey, but entirely worth it.

That's why you should try and buy a chair in-store. Reviews aside, you never know if you're going to like a chair until you sit in it yourself.

I use a beautiful chair distributed by knoll international that is older than I am. It is leather and comfy and I can curl up with my feet.

They could also be putting them together wrong. Because it's too hard with those small screws.

Thin privilege is cheap chairs. My office chair was super cheap because it's only rated for 70kg. I remember going through what you are at the moment and the chairs rated for reeel womyn are crazy expensive.
