Paint it this. Light orangey-tan for the raised parts and a very dark tan or black for the cracks. The color would work with the blue couch. Apartment Therapy Boston \| Good Questions: Painting Faux Stone Wall? Flag this comment	10/27/08 8:18 AM
I'm sitting in a Leap right now. I hate it. I think steelcase changed it because the chair feels different from the one I tested out at the dealer. The seat pan on my chair is tilted back a couple of degrees, which puts a lot of pressure on my thighs. There lack of pelvic support causes my lower back to get stiff after 20 minutes or so. And don't be fooled by Steelcase's marketing. The "upper back force" is their term for tilt tension and the "lower back force" is the horrible-to-adjust lumbar. I've mentioned in the past that saddle chairs are probably the best thing out there, but they are quite elusive. Out of the many furniture dealers I've been to, I have yet to try one. I'm expecting a Haworth Zody to arrive shortly. Hopefully, it will be better than the Leap. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Choosing a Home Office Task Chair Flag this comment	12/13/07 4:48 AM
From a purely ergonomics standpoint, any chair that puts your back at a 90 degree angle to your thighs is NOT good for your body. Reclining in certain task chairs does typically increase the angle, but it's awfully hard to use a keyboard--or do any forward oriented work for that matter--while reclining. Task chairs that can tilt the seat pan forward are a big improvement, but saddle style seats such as the hag capisco are probably the closest thing you can get to being in a correct position.
