I've been using a wooden chair for the last 10+ years, but now that it's literally falling apart in multiple places, I think it's time for a one. Who's spending $600+ on a chair though...? I find this really bizarre.

Who spends $600 on a phone or on a PC? So bizarre to spend that much to upgrade four years later -__-

How much you spend on a chair is probably going to be like anything else - how much time will you be using it, what are your particular uses for the chair, how often you replace it, etc.

If you're like me, and you spend nearly all of your time sitting in that chair, spending a bit more for a good one will be well worth the money spent. If I could use the same chair at home and work, it'd be absolutely worth $600. It's about comfort and long term utility - yeah, you can use a $20 plastic chair. But it will kill your body if you spend significant time in it.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Hello,

Come income taxes this year i am looking to drop around 300-500 dollars for a good quality chair. (tired of buying $100 office max chairs).

I am open to suggestions for chairs but so far i have narrowed it down to 2 companys.

Need for Seats

or

Hara Chairs

Now while i was able to get some info about the need for seat chairs from some of the pro's via tweets. I havent been able to get responses or good info about hara chairs. What i hope is that someone out in korea or who have used them could give me some insight.

As a little info into what i am looking for i am a stay at home dad and spend alot of time gaming when not taking care of the little one so would like one that remains comfortable for around 8 hours playing time. Also i am about 250 lbs so take that into account. And thanks ahead of the time for the feedback.

I just want to say that Allsteel has probably the worst website I've ever had to deal with. How do you actually get where you would potentially buy something? You select options and then nothing happens.

I am still frustrated about how so many people impulsively aim towards the DXRacer chairs. It is amazing how effective (unfortunately) their advertising works. As well as their massive sponsoring. I wish people could be more like skyR and be critical to what people say. Though it is understandable.
Just look at the design of the chair. It is the most extreme kind of "cheesy" chair I have ever seen. It emphasizes the "coolness" of the chair. Which is a bad sign if you look for serious products. Please take this with a grain of salt.

Any recommendations for standing desk chairs (or drafting stools)? I got a standing desk and am getting tired of using a bar stool to go along with it

Shit I'm looking for:
-long lasting cushioning that won't be flat in like a few months
-leather preferred
-occasionally I spend long periods of time in the chair (8 hr+) but not usually but durability would be nice

*edit*I have no back problems and I don't recline on my chair much anyway so I don't care too much about ergonomics; mostly I want something that lasts and won't make my butt uncomfortable

Thanks in advance

*edit* Looking into the Steelcase now, thanks

If you're in the states than try a Steelcase, free shipping both ways.

Funny question, but do any cat owners have feedback on some of the chairs they've bought and how they stand up? I really want to invest in a great chair, but I'm concerned about my cat destroying the fabric as my home desk is in a place where I can't close it off.

Thanks in advance!

I know this is not the best answer.
I would just make sure the cat did not use the chair - in some way.

I wish it were that easy, but there's no real way to do that. I have to leave home for work and sprays are either minimally effective, can damage fabrics or have an offputting odor.

The solution I'm thinking of is to go for a leather chair so that there's no cloth surface to rip - more expensive, but easier to clean and maintain imo and probably worth it in the end. Has anyone gotten the Steelcase Leap in Leather that can speak to it? That's the one I'm looking at currently...

In my experience, cloth is the way to go for cat resistance. My home has leather seats on a bunch of stuff(dining chairs, sofas, and a few other things), and unless it's REALLY really thick leather, the cat will at the very minimum scratch/scar it. Even if your cat uses scratching post exclusively, they'll still mark it when they jump on it, which they will. IIRC there are 6 types of leather seating in my house, and my cat, even with regular nail trims has at the very minimum punctured 5 of them.

I am a student with poor posture from sitting long days in a basic chair and am searching for a chair in the 500$ range (used is ok). I am 6"0, 150 pounds. any opinions/ general advice would be greatly appreciated.

i have tried a used leap, but found the seat really hurt my ass (it was really stiff). Am considering Ergohuman but am skeptical of the lumbar support, especially compared to the leap. I really liked the Leap with the exception of the seat, anyone tried the Leap seat with a gel pad added? My only concern is that at 6"0 I am already pretty tall for the leap backrest, so adding another inch of gel pad may be a problem.Any general advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think as long as your lower back or lumbar region is supported there will be no problem. I am not the expert so will leave it to skyR.
Good to see someone who hasn't fallen for the DXRacer sponsor bait trap - haha.
I sat in both of Aeron and Leap. But can not afford one right now. But is the only thing on my wish list.

I am inclined to believe that it is true that lower/mid back is most important. Based on experience with a high back chair, the upper part does not really get used unless I am reclining. Anyway, picking a chair is really hard on a limited budget ><.

Well, you should be reclining. It's good for you.
