Is the chair that come with the desk comfortable (isn't it wooden?) or would you recommend bringing your own?

they are wooden with some padding.

i personally didn't have a problem with mine, although i fell off a few times from leaning a bit too much. i suppose it all depends on how sensitive of a bum you have.

Wow what a great article! Thanks so much! There's so many things here I never would have thought of but are so important. The lock for the gym, the rubber shoe mat, etc. Thanks again, I'm sure you've saved me a lot of grief
