If your budget allows, buy this ergonomic chair to keep you comfy while you draw, read, watch TV or anything where you wan to relax in comfort. Click here (or paste this URL in your browser: https://amzn.to/44N2Xbt to choose the color you want.

The chair usually delivers within 2 weeks. (Under shipping option: I chose the white glove in home set up and I was surprised that it costs $100 less. I'm in a condo, so I didn't want to have to set it up myself.)

NOTE: This is an investment but since I've been using this chair, my body isn't acting up like it did when I drew at a desk.) No health claims implied but this has been certified as comfy by 3 little kittens, Peanut Butter, Jelly and Toast.

Disclosure: Like all online reviewers, I receive a small commission but this doesn't change the cost for you.
