I found an older but very sturdy, all metal Office Chair with faded but well preserved cushions. It makes zero noise when I accidentally (or intentionally) turn as I am recording. The arm rests are solid as a rock and I didn't have to assemble a thing.

One of my better "finds" in a resale shop just north of West Mayberry.

I'm sure my needs would be significantly different if I performed to a live audience like our resident "all stars" but my "product" (A Demo CD) is intended for a limited group of possible customers.
