I had one of these at work, it was actually the best chair I've ever sat in. The lumbar support was really different from all other chairs.

Really pricey though, but I think you can pick up a used one for 500-700.


don't get this, it really hurts ur back after a while

i had it at work for my coop term


Did you read the manual and adjust the chair properly? It probably hurt your back because you didn't slide the lumbar support to the right location. If anything, you could have tried flipping it around or taking it out.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

I've researched chairs exhaustively and have come to the conclusion that unless you're willing to pay $700 or more, you're best bet is scoping out your local Office Depot/Office Max, and testing out the chairs that most appeal to you; since everyone has different likes/dislikes.

500-700 dollars for a chair? My god...

I use a 50 dollar one I picked up at Staples, along with one of those stretchy cushions for the back that I found at Micro Center

Staples has a super good sale atm for "Luxura Manager chairs" for $59 from previously $129. I bought two.

http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/100926/merch8471/index.html?cm_mmc=sbd_acq-_-product_092610-_-PDB_Wel-_-num&cm_lm=chang8916@hotmail.com&cid=EM:CM:_BMnv3NB8U2Kmeu&om_rid=chang8916@hotmail.com

P.S. Says 1 day sale but they've been doing it since labor day weekend. Keep extending sale dates, originally it was supposed to end on 9/8/10 or something.

i must side with ffdestiny. try it out yourself and think about what you need. if you're going to use it hours on end in a hot environtment leather for example can be quite a nuiscence.
and if you cant spend to much money it will turn in to a bit of hit and miss, as there are horrendous desk chairs out there in the lower price ranges.
definitely sit in a chair before buying.

I use a chair that looks like this

[image loading]

I can't stand chairs that move around on wheels or turn--I feel like I have better posture and play better when I'm in a chair that is stationary.

I'm probably the only person on TL that doesn't use one of those fancy computer chairs

This is the most amazing chair I've ever seen in my life. Sonuvabitch, I want that. Unfortunately, I'd either have to retire at 95 to pay for it, or save money by not eating anything for 5 years.

Ah, well, my current chair is still quite nice. Had it for 6 years, no complaints whatsoever. The leather is starting to tear, though. =(

I used to use one of these as my computer chair until I scored a free office chair from Craigslist.

Any chair experts have a suggestion that meets these criteria?
- Mesh (no more sweat festival faux leather)
- Adjustable
- Good back support / posture
- Less than $200 ideally
- Wheeled OR stationary

Mine too, shit it sucks. We have a semi-comfortable chair at our family computer, but being that its a ~2001 budget E-Machine, and that other people always want to use it I just play on my laptop instead. On a shitty desk in my room. On a shitty chair. Not comfortable.

Anybody know the name of the chairs that were in the gsl qualifiers? Or of alternatives that follow the same form factor?

Those chairs looked really comfortable.

There's a lot of those kinds of chairs in my university's library. They're just amazing.

Get a sofa imo. Chairs are just not for sitting back and relaxing.

Do you have any idea how badly you hurt the next day after pulling an all nighter on the sofa? godamn sucks. You slump over and torque the spine so everything is thrown out of proportion. Not a fun feeling in PE the next day.

It's probably sane to stretch every once in a while, not that being hunched on a chair all night is any better.

Herman Miller Aeron chair. (As Cambium pictured above)
If you can afford it, you really can't get a better chair for long-term sitting at a computer.
You can adjust everything to the right height/ angle to fit you.
