That pretty much sums it up perfectly. I am going to purchase a Leap very soon. My brother already got one. I am super jealous. | ||

http://www.costco.ca/Pro-Line™-II--Deluxe-Air-Grid-Back----Ergonomic-Office-Chair.product.10345999.html I have to really recommend it. For that price tag, it has a nice and sturdy feel, very comfortable, and everything is adjustable (which people seem to care about). -Height of back support -Depth of seat -Angle of lumbar support (can be variable or set to fixed at any point) -Angle of chair itself. (can be variable or set to fixed at any point) -Adjustable tension for angling the chair when you sit -Armrest height -Armrest width -Allows incline tilt for keyboard intensity activity. -Seat height adjustment (ofc) Pretty much everything there is, and it's super super soft. Only issue is cats and dogs love sitting on this, and it can get hair on it stuck pretty easily. Oh, and I guess you can't adjust the angle of the armrests, but I don't think that should be a big deal. | ||

He clearly states, that lowest models of chairs start at $600. I'm sorry, but I am practically unable to find a chair in my city that costs over $600 regardless to what store I go. skyR is really the only one giving advice in this thread, so he is the one that is making everyone reading this assume that you need to spend $600 for a chair because that is his mentality. Just go to a few local stores and go sit on chairs. Initially I didn't have an a huge amount of experience buying chairs... So I was kind of leaning towards skyR's advice in needing to pay $800 for a good chair. After spending hours on hours doing research. Lol nope. On October 01 2013 11:04 skyR wrote: $200 is going to get you exactly what you have right now, a chair with thin padding, seat height adjustment, and maybe one other adjustment if you're lucky. Spend more if you want a comfortable chair. At $400 or maybe even less, you could probably find a used Aeron or Leap on Craigslist. All you need to do is reupholster it and it'll be miles better than anything you can find at $200. $200 gets me thin padding and no seat adjustment? What? =/ I'm sorry if I am coming off as hostile, but I feel bad for every sucker here that ends up spending $1000 for a chair. Most people that haven't bought a chair just have whatever chair they found at walmart for 50-100 dollars, and probably they didn't buy it for a good value either. So obviously a $1000 is going to feel amazing in comparison. But you haven't tried a $200 good value good quality chair either, which will also feel amazing in comparison to a 50-100 dollar poor value chair. TLDR: Don't spend more than $300 for a chair under any circumstance buying these big name brand chairs. The marginal benefit of extra price drastically decreases at a certain price point. On October 25 2013 02:48 skyR wrote: Idk, it looks ugly and has no recline. Umm, yes it reclines, if you leanback and set the lumbar support angle to the max, when you tilt back you are practically laying. Man skyR, at least swallow your pride and admit that this does 95% of what your $800 chair does =/ So pretty much you are saying $800 for a chair is better than $200, just because this chair is ugly? Okay! When I come home I'll take a picture. The picture on the site doesn't do it justice, it really looks slick and shit ^^ I mean sure the Aeron or something is going to be more visually stimulating, but this chair is damn nice. | ||

I've had a similar Office Star model from Staples years ago and ya it sort of sucks, the range of adjustments are limited, padding wore out in a year, armrests cracked, and warranty sucks. And I don't believe I've said you need to pay $800 for a good chair. I actually do mention trying out as many chairs as you can before buying since everybody has different body dimensions and preferences. It's just that chairs with enough range of adjustments that suit a lot of people start at around $800. If you're happy with a $200 chair than great. I'm not saying that a $800 chair is better than a $200 chair just because of its aesthetics. Does it really matter? If someone cares about the way their stuff looks than obviously it's subjectively better and if they're willing to pay that than okay. If you were to compare objectively, most $800 chairs are better in many aspects than a $200 chair. Lots of less expensive products does the majority of what a more expensive product does. Does that make them good products for everyone? Not really. | ||

in this chart from the OP (http://i.imgur.com/zRdVwoN.jpg) is there a column for chair LENGTH? that is, as in the measurement from the back of the chair to the front edge. i'm working with a pretty small computer area and need to save every inch I can. | ||

I used that same chair as a temporary replacement for my Mirra. It was pretty meh. Not awful, but definitely not great. I've owned chairs like that in the past, and they don't really last more than 1-2 years. To put it into perspective, I have owned my Mirra for 4.5 years. It gets about 8-10 hours of use daily, and it's just as good as the day I bought it (I bought used, as well). Spending $450 on a used Mirra vs spending $175 on that chair is a no-brainer to me. I'm not saying the Mirra is the best chair on the planet, but you'd be a fool to simply disregard the recommendations here. | ||
