Just go to Staples, sit on a few, pick one. Your price range is low for finding a specific name/brand.

5 gallon bucket with a boat cushion.

Or, one of those buckets with a swivel seat on top.

That way you can keep your office supplies in the bucket. When your employment is terminated, you just load your stuff in the bucket and leave.

This is better than anything I would've ever came up with. The chair I reccomended is a giant FAIL compared to this idea. Bravo sir. Bravo.

Thank you.

And if you want to make it really easy to pack your stuff out, replace the wire handle of the 5 gallon bucket with a piece of rope about 3 - 4 feet long. That way when you say "I am outta here", you sling the rope over your shoulder and walk out.

Wrapping the rope with pipe insulation adds some padding. That way the rope does cut into your shoulder when packing those heavy loads out.

K I started looking on Amazon, and quickly upped my budget to 150.

I should have known ATOT was full of computer chair snobs.

Honestly at that price you probably won't find anything comfortable. I finally broke down and bought a $200 chair myself, because the sub $100 chairs are always uncomfortable and wear out in a hurry.

It's not so much snobbery in my case. I find with cheaper chairs I always end up with back pain. Pinching in my lower back. Of course it all depends how much time you spend at your computer.

I'd up it to $300 if this is your personal chair and you're keeping it. Chairs last a long time if you put money into it and they will be a lot more comfortable. I work from home so a nice chair is a must. But if you sit in it even a few hours a day, I'd recommend the same thing.

I spent $190 I think on my chair because it was on sale. I did the same on my previous chair but the wife needed one, so I still have both. Well well worth it.

Bump it up to $1000+ and you can get one of those nicer chairs that's made especially for computer nerds.

I don't like those style chairs myself. I also refuse to a buy a chair I can't sit in first. Hopefully you picked a good one.

We have the exact chairs here at work. I like it, so I figured I'd just suck it up and grab one for my place

Nice. We had those in my last office I worked...I wish I had one here :(

You should have stole one from your job...they probably owe you somehow anyway!
