EPTI'm not a tall guy, so my seat depth is a controlling factor for me. E.g. "A" size for the Herman Miller. I daresay I might even try to find something even less deep than 15.75" so I'm encouraged to sit in a more ergonomic position for a change. For that reason I think the Steelcase Think is up my alley, even more with that trial program. I confess that the Gesture has also caught my eye, but I'd like to try that before 'settling' on the Think.

iirc, dxracer doesn't use uniform chairs all the time. But since I remember white, probably the CUDA or style SW models. | ||

I highly recommend the chair, but I would say go get one from Craigslist first. It's hard to determine how big you actually need the chair to be, so it's a much less expensive way to figure that out.

What a load of crap!!? Sponsorship is a load of crap, get used to it. The entire steelseries mouse lineup is trash in terms of sensor performance, EG still used them for years and marketed them like crazy to an audience of people that didn't know any better The entire team, going from steelseries mice to razer blackwidows  | ||

It's got a lot of things I've been looking at, fabric base with mesh back and not too much contouring (so I can sit in weirder positions). If I can sell my old Aeron for $3-400, seems more than worth the trade. edit: Also looking at X99 if anyone has experience with that. By the way, the pictures in the OP for this chair seem incorrect, the Zody and Very Task pictures appear swapped. | ||

So far they haven't been blown away with them. They apparently feel kinda cheap and they already had one break. She said her's is kinda comfy but not better than her old Global chair (She used to use a rather expensive Global chair. She brought it home when they replaced it. It is actually quite comfortable to sit in).Anyone have any experience with a Haworth Zody? madisonseating has a pretty big sale on a lot of chairs right now, and that one kind has my eye at the moment. $550 with shipping and I could theoretically buy lumbar for another $30 on ebay if I wanted it (which I don't think i do).

By the way, the pictures in the OP for this chair seem incorrect, the Zody and Very Task pictures appear swapped. I looked for quite a while for a chair since my old one was giving me back trouble. I ended up settling on the Hon Nucleus after trying out a ton of chairs at all the local shops (I will not buy a chair without trying so it limited my options a bit since there are no really high end chairs available here, only by special order usually). For the price it is quite impressive. Fully adjustable in every way (depth, arm width, arm height, tilt, tilt lock, etc.), mesh back, nice firm seat. I tried out a ton of chairs and found it to be the most comfortable chair I could find for under $600. It actually lets me get work done. I went from only being able to work at my desk for an hour before having to stop because of back pain to being able to work all day. Well worth the money. A lot of the other Hon chairs are not all that great but the Nucleus is amazing. The only other Hon chair I would even consider is the F3 (I would rank it equally as comfortable. I would have got one of those but they were special order only and would have taken 3 months to show up). The cheaper ones are not all that great. | ||

Might go for the refurbished Leap V2 I saw for £200. Steam cleaned and has all adjustments / options besides the headrest. | ||

I've looked into quite a bit of chairs, but can't find anything that'd truly be really good for the budget I've got. I've got ~€300 to spend and looking at the DXracers they look really nice, but I can't test them unless I drive to mid-germany which I reeeeally don't feel like doing. Going to my local furniture shop you can really only get the chairs I've got now, a €140,- It feels quite good, but it kind of makes me lean back in my chair which is what I want to avoid doing from now on. I'm quite tall, ~190CM /6'2/3(I think) and around 85KG/170lbs. Would judging from reviews etc trying a DXracer really be the best option, or is there anything I can really look for locally? I don't think I can find many stores that sell mid-tier office/gaming chairs anywhere nearby. I also sweat really, really easily and fast, and my current leather chair doesn't help that. Is there any chair I should be looking for in that regard (Or kind of material, really.) Leaning back is good for you so why wouldn't you want to be leaning back? DXRacer isn't good unless you're the perfect size for it since it lacks seat depth and arm adjustments. Maybe try and find an Ergohuman? It's probably the least expensive with a full range of adjustments but that's because their warranty is shit, at least in North America. If you tend to sweat a lot than you're probably best off with a mesh chair. | ||
