WHITE VINYL LP.

"White Vinyl. Mia Zapata was the greatest rock singer of her time. She may well have been the greatest blues singer in punk rock history, the woman who married the 78 and the '78. Tragedy did not make this true. Mia Zapata made this true, and the ferocious, spring-loaded shrapnel frame that was built around her by Andy Kessler (guitar: metronomic and furious), Matt Dresdner (bass: fluid, punching, beat-addicted and melodic), and Steve Moriarty (drums: martial and explosive) - who, with Mia, combined to form The Gits - made it true. The Gits were formed at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in mid-1986, grabbing and swapping pieces of art, thrash, noise, punk rock, classic rock, and all the sorts of magical silly and bookish jingle bells that an old-school liberal arts education handed you; for the next few years they worked on turning it all into something tough, sensitive, both brutal and kind. Andy, Matt, Mia, and Steve moved to Seattle in middish 1989, landing in a house on Capitol Hill where they (and fellow travelers) wood-shedded and rehearsed for the next few years. The Gits put out three EPs in 1990 and '91 before signing with C/Z Records and releasing their first full-length album, Frenching the Bully. Seattle quickly claimed the quartet as their own and embraced the Gits blend of ferocious fangs and soft heart, the slug/slap of the guitars, and the gorgeous, soft underbelly of the poetic emotions. These qualities not only fit in with the doe-eyed/sharp-clawed grunge ethos but earned the Gits the respect of their peers, including Nirvana, who tapped them to open a major local show in 1990. Then other stuff happened, and their frantic, confessional barbed-heart snowball began rolling up hill very, very fast; the Gits "quickly" (Hah! After half a decade learning to implode and explode hearts and stomping their boots on manifold beer-softened, Marlboro-weeded wood stages!) inspired rapture, awe, and the levitation that happened when peak emotion meets peak grindage in front of amps spitting out something that sounded like the mad marriage of Bolan swagger and Dischord tension... all fronted by a genuinely incomparable woman who held her heart in her mouth and shared it, in all it's celebration and fear, without hesitation. The Gits were an angry, inflamed slinky fully in tune with and tuned by the Bessie Patti Smith of her time, truly the only singer who could summon Joplin, Poly Styrene, Sam Cooke, Iggy Pop and Ian MacKaye all in the same goddamn song. In 1993, less than four weeks after accepting an offer from Atlantic Records, Mia died. I leave it at that, because this is not about death; it's about an extraordinary life. I do not say, "You should have been there," I say, "We are lucky so many of us were, and I am so glad we have this extraordinary evidence of the power and gifts of Mia and the Gits that you now can hold in your hands." And I note that Frenching the Bully, this extraordinary testament to the soul, shock, fury and feeling of the Gits, has been long out of print on vinyl and CD, and this new edition - remastered by legendary Seattle engineer Jack Endino - joyfully rectifies that. -Tim Sommer"

Good quality and good price
Color: White, Style: With Headrest, Color: White, Style: With Headrest
Very easy to assemble, comfortable, sleek design, and the colours are just as pictured. I can't speak on durability as I just got it. The back support works well. Something I loved is that the head and arms support adjust to your needs.

Would Buy Again!
Color: Black, Style: With Headrest, Color: Black, Style: With Headrest
Purchased this chair several months ago and very pleased with the quality, durability, lumbar support, head rest, rollers and multiple adjustment. I use it some 8 hours a day, it's very comfortable, and highly recommend. Thus far great product for the value.

Needs improvements
Color: Light Black, Style: With Headrest
I bought 4 chairs for my table. Easy to put together. The arms are too short. They move too much and there is no way to lock the arms in place. The worse thing is the material used to cover the arms. It is sticky. Each chair has the same problem so I took a pair of socks to cover the arms. So, you should offer custom arm covers and a way to lock the arms. For the weight allowed the pneumatic support that holds and adjusts the height of the seat holds me quite well. The wheels stick out beyond the seat circumference so everyday I run into them as I go to sit down but it is a good thing as you can be seated and you are not going to flip over if you bend down from the seat to reach for something on the floor. The seat itself should be able to accommodate a person of a larger size a big man. It is like you made the chair for little people that weigh a lot (narrow seat, short arms, vs. a large wheel span and powerful the pneumatic pump). The neck support requires a pillow. Without the pillow my head and neck do not rest on the mesh. Regarding comfort, I sit in the chair for a lot of time each day. Although it feels a bit hard the seat is fairly comfortable. It would be more comfortable if it were bigger. I purchased these chairs because of the welcoming way the company describes itself, therefore, I hope they will make some changes to improve the chair. I would not buy them if I had the chance again, not without improvements made. I don't need four more chairs, so, I will live with my purchase. If the chairs already had those improvements my opinion would be different. They may be perfect for someone else of a different body type (and age).

Finally a Chair That Fits and Feels Great
Color: Black, Style: With Headrest
I recently purchased the Marsail Ergonomic Office Chair, and overall, I couldn’t be happier with it. First off, assembly was incredibly simple. It took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. All the parts were well packaged, and I didn’t run into any issues putting it together. For reference, I’m 6'2" and about 275 pounds, and this chair fits me very well. As a bigger guy, finding a chair that feels supportive and appropriately sized can be a challenge, but this one hits the mark. The seat is roomy without feeling oversized, and the overall build feels sturdy and solid. Comfort-wise, it’s been excellent. I work from home and spend about 8–9 hours a day in this chair, five days a week. The thick cushion seat really makes a difference, it stays comfortable throughout the day and doesn’t feel like it’s flattening out after hours of use. I also really like the mesh back. It provides good support while allowing airflow, which helps keep me cool during long work sessions. The only feature I wish it had is a recline lock at multiple angles. Currently, it only locks in the fully upright position. It would be great to be able to lock it slightly reclined for more flexibility during long workdays. That said, for the price, ease of assembly, and all-day comfort, this chair delivers tremendous value. I’m giving the Marsail Ergonomic Office Chair 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive office chair, especially if you’re on the taller or bigger side like me.
