...crack.... ping

While on the telephone today in my office... I heard these noises. And suddenly, part of my desk chair fell off. Metal fatigue, the bolts had all sheared cleanly. The chair itself... I received it new in 1992, and it is now badly worn and stained and non-ergonomic anyway. Time for some new office furniture. I guess no one will complain, after 16 years...

Indestructible grey metal workbenches and desks with concrete tops, I'm guessing? Squared metal chairs with aged primary-color vinyl cushions? ;)

I was thinking mainly of the squared metal chairs in what might be dark brown or dark green vinyl, but the duct tape was the main visible element. I think the desks were campus surplus from ages past: wooden with stuck drawers, etc.
