How would you rate this chair: http://www.interstuhl.de/prdb/182ELV01.pdf
At a local retailer, it is currently priced 399 instead of 709 and they highly recommended it as being very well featured and high quality at that price point. It had all the optional features including the adjustable lower back support thing and 4D adjustable armrests (instead of the default 2D).
I tried it for a while and it seemed good. I'm going to try a few other ones (at other stores) and then give it another go on saturday before I decide. But I'd like an educated opinion on the technical details as well.
They will also have the Wilkahn On available for testing saturday, will try that one too. How do these two compare?
edit: The seat is fabric, the back is mesh.

Just got my Steelcase Amia in the mail yesterday! I hadn't sat in it before I ordered it, but I am very happy! There are a few minor things about it I think could be improved such as a lock for the horizontal movement of the armrests and you can't lock the back mid-tilt. Don't get me wrong though the chair is highly adjustable and therefore would be good for many body types, but if you are over 6 feet tall your upper back will start to not be supported, I am 6 feet so it fits me perfect height wise. Overall I am very happy, just wish I could have gotten a different colored back without an up-charge (I went with black on black).

Hey all,
Really hoping for a reply here. I am looking into the NEEDforSEAT chairs, but a user much earlier in the thread said that he was simply not impressed by the chair.
The price of the NEEDforSEAT ($329-$369) was as high as I was really looking to go.
Anyone else have feedback positive or negative or other really good alternatives? I'm leaving the United States for Europe soon and would like to buy one before I go over there.
I looked at the Steelcase chairs and they seem way too pricey for what I am looking to spend on a computer chair (~$900).
Thanks in advance.

Man chairs are too confusing.
What's a good chair for someone who likes to sit in weird positions + not horrible for normal sitting positions? Like if I want to put both feet on the chair, or one, or "kneel" on the chair sometimes?
Open to suggestions @_@

I'd try the Herman Miller Embody. Though depending on your size, Leap, Gesture, and the normal looking chairs may work as well. Just don't get a mesh chair..

Thanks for the suggestions, but IDK if I have that much to spend on a chair (these all look like ~1k?)...any more budget options? @_@

DXRacer or Ikea Markus are the two notable budget options. Best to try them out at your local Ikea and Staples first though.

I've had the Ikea Markus for 4 years now.. It's an alright chair and i really like the high back, but if you were any smaller than me (95kg 195cm) it would be bad because the sensitivity of the backpart of very low, so you need to lean your weight on it to go back.. And on top of that, the back doesn't go that far backwards... I would say only 45º max angle, which isn't great for ultra chilling... However it's a solid chair thats comfortable for office work and gaming, with only those 2 minor drawbacks...
I would recommend it compared to many other chairs, but I'm looking to buy a need for seat eventually...

Yeah, if I'm on a tight budget ($200), 5'10 120 lbs [178 cm 54 kg], would DXRacer/Ikea Markus be the best options? >.<
What about between those choices? Thanks in advance

Do you not have a local Ikea/Staples? As SkyR noted above, you don't have to make a blind choice.

hello guys. Very good thread, learned a lot.
The problem is I live in Europe (Brno, Czech Rep.) and I can't find the Leap or Ergohuman chairs. Does anybody know if there is anything that compares to these 2 around these parts?
thanks

This a great resource. Thank you very much!

Well that was odd. I thought it was a bit flattering to have a rep note the thread. Company reps must be against TL policy.

I am looking for a char with transparent seat back and transparent seat. I really hate my seat (too hot) and love my transparent seat back (no warmth). I sometimes get up to cool my seat -.-

You must be talking about mesh? In which case, there are a lot of options. Herman Miller Aeron / Mirra and Raynor Ergohuman being some of the more notable ones.
