I don't sit very much in an easy chair (not because my mother-in-law is there), but because despite my PC being portable, my Internet connection is not wireless and the cable reaches my desk. So, I spend all of my free time in my desk chair (btw "silla" is a synonym of "butaca"), which gives my husband all the freedom to watch sports all the time, using all our chairs.
