Whenever systems do shit like that I’m always like “soooo who’s cousin owns the chair store?”

Plastics will crack with time I’d go for a wooden chair rather than a plastic one if I was thinking about longevity.

Reply to comment by arcticrobot in I bought this Wahl Hair Cutting Kit 15 years ago in 2008 for $20 or so. Works like new and never done me wrong. It must've saved me hundreds, especially working overtime during the pandemic. by Mad_Juju
I like how wahl is still making good stuff ... Even the dirt cheap ones feel a lot better in the hand that anything matching the price

I just did actually, sporting brand new set. It is the body shell that’s worn and faded

Soulless stackable cleanable light ergonomic plastic chairs, why would anybody want that over old heavy creaky painful wooden ones.

To be fair, the plastic chairs are likely more durable than these wooden ones.

Reply to Looking for buy a flip phone cover, or a phone case for S21 phone. What brands you'd recommend? by saffrown
Ghostek for the S21. Look into the Nautical model, as it not only adds drop/shock protection, but water and dust too. Just don't think of the case as a buy it for life item. Instead, know that it significantly increases the life of your phone.

Also easier to clean

I love my European Sleepworks mattress. Delivery to non-Bay Area places might be prohibitive, but I love their modular, replaceable approach. It’s more eco-friendly and I love love love how it feels. They’re typically meant for 10 or so years of regular wear, I think? Before you need to start swapping out components. But I have no real doubt mine will last ten years

It’s cool that it’s so sturdy and all but honestly plastic chairs in school where fairly comfy compared to wooded ones

In the States a similar activity takes place, but the container and the truck to remove it are differently shaped. The trucks in the States tend to have rollers rather than a crane and the bin is longer and flatter. Seems it is a case of parallel evolution to solving the same problem.

Second the purple mattress. We are going on 4 years and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Previously owned a temperpedic cloud series mattress.

Also the new ones typically stack and are easier to move.

I love it! Like your dad, I have a history of rescuing chucked-out chairs. I also have a great solid wood table with side leaves I found by a dumpster. People toss out fantastic wooden pieces!
