Anyone in Toronto bought a Steelcase Amia/Leap before? I feel like I have to go on Kijiji which I'm not 100% a fan of. Ideas?

http://www.poi.ca/ in Markham or buy directly from http://www.steelcase.com/ . If you want to test drive, Ryerson's new student learning centre building has a ton of Think chairs.

Got myself a Kinnarps Plus 8, 8784N78, a few years ago. Amazing comfort even during those marathon gaming sessions.

As for cheaper chairs, IKEA:s office chair Markus is surprisingly comfortable. The one I use at work lasted 3-4 years before I had to change out the... hydraulic thing.. But that was still covered by warranty so no problem. Still looks and feels new.

You prefer the gesture over the leap? The new think might be better than both.

I ended up going for a Herman Miller instead, much easier to find distributors in the UK for that chair

I went for the Embody, I tend to spend way too much on things like this

Around £900, but I have little expenditure in my life currently.
I figure if it can last me for 20 years then it's a price worth paying

Why did you choose the Embody over Aeron and Mirra 2?
Was it more comfortable for you?

To be honest it was a case of trying the Embody before trying the Aeron, I found the Embody so nice to use after just using a kitchen table chair at my computer for years, that even as I was trying a few other chairs I was still kinda biased towards the Embody, which I tried first after hearing it being described as the "perfect chair". Neither of them quite matched up to it, though I preferred the Aeron to the Mirra by a decent amount

Any recommendations for a office/gaming chair for a big 6'1 guy? Preferably one that reaches all the way up to the head.

Ah I know what you mean. That happens with me when I sit on a large Aeron chair. Medium feels a lot better.

Picked up an Ikea Markus after hearing it's a decent cheaper chair. Gotta say, I'm liking it. I feel like I'm sitting with better posture. The back goes up a mile so I can sit back, little headrest. Not a bad little chair for a decent price! My only gripe is the arms rests are kind of annoying and in the way. Might get out the bandsaw and welder and do some modifications. But for $150-200 I dig it.

I am pretty sure you can just un-mount the armrests. Might be wrong.

I could but I like having arm rests. They just get in the way of how it sit sometimes so they could use a little tweaking.

I'd love to buy Embody, but based on many reviews, people tend to be in the opposite spectrum - some love it to death, some hate it and return the chair.

When does Steelcase usually have their annual sales? Leap seems to be universally the safest bet.
