Maybe you should try Rush Limbaugh's EIB ("Excellence in Broadcasting") executive chair. It definitely holds a bigger man and has a special secret compartment for stashing Oxys. Yours for only $499.95!

In all seriousness, I've found that the best ones tend to be leather, well padded, have a headrest that actually reaches all the way up to your head, and are in that price range. I got mine from this website, which has a section for big & tall.

You need this so you can work your core while you work:

Edit:
(I suppose you can also milk it when appropriate.)

These shelf brackets, screwed at every possible interval into the wall studs:


Add whatever board you can scrounge, maybe yank the desktop off the old desk you're shitcanning.
Leaves the floor nice and clear around the desk, and you can usually get another shelf or two above the main work table.

Drew, I'm renting, so mounting a desk to the wall isn't really an option.

Zarban: BIG, not ridiculously tiny.

Mostly, yeah, and I've yet to find one in Norway that fits said style.

<stinkeye> Yes, well, I'll provide the most helpful solution next time, Zarban! Next time.

My boss had a couple of filing cabinets and a solid door for a while, worked really well and had a lot of space.

I'm doing some home renovations that include finishing a room over the garage with 4-foot knee walls on either side. I love odd architectural details, so I'm trying to think of ways to use the sloped ceiling and space under the eaves. I already plan on a few cabinets that will be built into the knee wall and maybe a huge drawer containing a trundle bed. But I'd love to hear any more unusual ideas.

This will very likely be my new bedroom, but I'd be open to incorporating an element or two that would be interesting to a family with kids who would be the next buyer. (Hence the trundle bed idea; I don't host many sleepovers.)

Pinterest's ideas are basically variations on built-in cabinets.

My dad did something similar when he did the upstairs (they bought the house with the second floor just an open attic: I remember walking to the new bathroom having to avoid the holes in the floor because he didn't have all the plywood down). My room had two "cubby holes" in the wall on either side of my bed, which could fit either two or three small kids or all our toys and games. My sister's room had one cubby hole, and a built in bookcase. The fun part of the cubby holes was, Dad being Dad, he didn't do more work than was really needed. On either side of the entrance, not only could you see the exposed wall studs but the hole where he ran the wiring up to the light switch was open, so small toys could be lost down into the first floor walls. Exciting!

You reminded me of something. The two second floor bedrooms were on either end of the house. We each had a closet on the same side of the house as the stairway. Dad linked the two closets with a hidden storage area, running along the front of the house behind the stairwell.

Maybe you can link two bedrooms. Even if it's just you in the house now, think of the stories the next owners will come up with. Particularly if you don't tell them about it when you sell

A house I lived in way, way back, had that too. Two bedrooms connected via storage space. It was cool, because both bedrooms were mine(only child at that point), so I'd go to sleep in one room, feel like sleeping in the other, and moved across them without ever knowing. My mom must've been so pissed at me, she never knew which room I was in when it was time for school!

I always dreamed about having secret pathways in my ultimate manor sort of house. Thick walls with paths inside, to fuck with guests.
