Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Edit: I'm 5'10, 260 lbs, well within the "limits" of the chair. I occasionally lounge a bit with it but I was under the impression this chair is supposed to be built to handle that, given you can even lay flat on it. I guess if my warranty goes through or if I can at least buy a new part I'll have to baby it.
Going to try to get a second replacement part under warranty. Very disappointing to have a $400 chair fail on me twice in a year. I really like the chair other than these issues with the frame.
Edit: I didn't closely inspect my first damaged seat but feeling around on this one it seems like a weld joint came loose.
