X Old Model Number to New Model Number Conversion MatrixI’ve been meaning to look into buying a new chair to use at my computer desk as the chair I currently use is a freebie we got when we got together with Anne’s siblings and bought my father-in-law a new TV set a couple of years back. The chair is functional, but meant to be used for watching TV so it’s not the greatest computer chair I’ve ever owned. Plus it’s falling apart after several years of abuse during marathon Call of Duty and Counterstrike battles. As a result I’ve been paying attention to the sales at places like Office Max or Staples whenever I happen into their confines and I’m amazed how much they want for a chair that looks like it’s ready to fall apart right there in the store. Granted I don’t do a lot of furniture shopping, but I’d have thought that for $69 you should get a fairly decent chair. Apparently I was wrong. To get a fairly decent chair you have to spend several hundred dollars it seems.
and so I checked them out. The cheapest chair they offer is one of those kneeling non-chair chairs and it costs $89.99. From there it jumps up to $249.99 for a standard office chair that doesn’t look all that different from what Office Max is selling for $69.99. This Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair going for “only” $3,125. My couch didn’t cost that much money. Hell, I’ve bought cars for less than that. For that much money it better have a secret compartment filled with diamonds or crack cocaine. After perusing what a good chair will cost I’m once again back to considering the cheap (in more ways than one) crap they peddle at the local Office Max, though I’m sure they don’t appreciate me describing it as such. Anne bought me an “executive style” chair from an office supply catalog— thus ensuring years of receiving catalogs from said company despite not buying a single other thing from them since—back when I first moved into the apartment we just vacated that cost around $79 or so and it worked pretty well until one of the arms decided to break
, which is a problem mainly because the arms are the only thing holding the back of the chair on. Even then we continued to use it up until we moved out when we finally threw it into the trash. To tell the truth I didn’t really feel like we’d gotten the full $79 worth of it… until I started pricing a new chair. This has made me very nostalgic for the computer room of my youth which had two official Michigan Bell Operator chairs my mother brought home one day when they were getting rid of them for newer furniture. They weren’t particularly special, your typical caster chairs with no arms on them, but they were comfortable enough for extended periods and they were built solid enough to commit murder with. My mother still owns at least one of them some 25 years later and it’s still working great. If I knew something I was going to buy now would be that comfortable and last that long I might be willing to invest a hundred, or perhaps even two hundred, dollars into it. I’d feel guilty about it though.
So I suppose I’ll have to wait until spring and start hounding garage sales to see what I can find.Ready to Ship in 5 Days Your time is important.

We want to break up the mysterious fog around this issue so you know what to budget for when massage is in your company's near future (lucky!). Chair massage pricing is always calculated by TOTAL HOURS. These hours are determined using a few different variables: Now you don’t need to know the numbers for every one of these variables. To come up with some solid options for your massage event, you only really need to know two of the above listed pieces of info to come up with an exact value. We typically recommend this pricing method for small and medium businesses because they can usually determine how many people they want to provide massages for very easily with a company email or a simple sign up sheet.
In which case you would need to know two things: Let’s say you want to put on a massage day for your employees and you have 20 people receiving 15 minute massages. That would be a total of 5 hours. Depending on the chair massage rates the company is charging, you are probably looking at $200-500 for that event. For this example and for math’s sake, let’s say they charge $100 an hour. Then the cost is $500. For our clients, we have an easy massage quote generator on our website that will tell them exactly what they will need to pay. But sometimes you don’t know how many people will be participating in your massage day, so in that case, use option two or three to determine chair massage costs. This option is best for larger companies, or companies with a specific time frame in mind. If you're unsure about participation, then you can give this method a try to determine your corporate chair massage pricing. You need the following information: So let’s say you have an booth at a trade show running from 12pm-4pm and you want 4 therapists onsite to provide chair massage at your trade show booth to draw in attendees.
You would just multiply 4 therapists by 4 hours and you have 16 total hours. If the rate is $100 an hour (again, for easy math’s sake), you would pay $1600 for this event. Many organizations aren’t sure what they want or need for their massage event. But most companies at least know what they can spend. Everyone has a budget. If you just have that number, a great massage company should be able to give you a list of options that will work well for you. For instance, a company of 600 people is having a health fair from 9am-1pm, and they want to provide chair massages at the health fair. People will be trickling in and out all day and they don’t know how many people will be able to get a massage, but they know their budget is $2000. Again, for math’s sake let’s use the $100 an hour rate to determine cost. With a budget of $2000, they can do 20 total hours of massage. Their event only runs from 9am-1pm, so that means they can have 5 therapists onsite for that four hour block to provide massages for their employees at the health fair.
