Joan asked about "leaners" and I'm one. Get's so bad on rare occasions that I fall out of the chair. Daughter noticed the lean on a visit home and went out and bought us matching chairs for our office, complete with lumbar support (for Don's back) and 4 other settings for assorted problems---also has arms to keep me from tumbling over the side. What a difference!
