help me, oh internets. Is there a chair for a geekly new mom?

[netmouse]

That's it. I want a desk chair. I want a desk chair that also works as a nursing chair.

That means it has low arms, possible padded and/or wide, but long - extending all the way to the back of the chair.

It should not be too narrow a chair. It should swivel, and raise and lower.

Do you suppose something like that exists, oh internets?

The desk chair I'm sitting in has padded arms, fairly wide, of adjustable height and horizontal angle. They go very nearly to the back (I can't get my arms to go off the back of the chair's arms because they run into the chair back first). It's wide enough for me, anyway, and even a bit more, and it swivels, and raises, and lowers, and tilts, and the tilt force is adjustable, and the tilt range can be locked.

So it sounds like it meets your requirements, at least on paper. It's a Herman Miller Aeron chair.

How easy is it to clean the aeron chair?

The arms are a textured plastic surface (integral with the underlying padding, I think), so they should be really really easy to clean.

I haven't seen one where anybody spilled anything interesting on the mesh, so I don't know how that would go. Stuff might drip through, too. That could be a problem, although if you're sitting in the chair, the mesh part is largely protected (by your body) from anything you're holding.

Sorry I can't be more definite!
