Buying a nice computer/office chair...Where?

[Rufio]

OK.

I don't want one of those crappy free after rebate cheapo chairs...

I want a nice one.

What brands out there are decent? Around $200 or so?

I know that the Herman Miller Aeron chairs are the best. They are a bit out of my price range...what is the next brand right below the Aeron chairs in terms of comfort?

Thanks dudes!

A while back, Cost Co was actually selling Aerons for right around 200...I don't know if they still are, but if you can find someone nearby selling a used one, I imagine you shouldn't spend much more than $200...good luck.

My cheap FAR chair suits me just fine.

 

[vi edit]

Just go to office depot/staples and plop your butt down in a couple of them and try them out. The only way.

Everyone has different tastes in chairs.

I would go to Staples like vi said and try them out.

Just search in the Hot Deals forum or at the wallet of substantial girth.

man i went to office max and they all are pretty nice...

anyone have any experience w/the Samsonite chairs? why are they more expensive? because of the brand?

Depends on how much you use the chair. If you have back problems and sit a LOT, I'd look into a heavy duty office chair.. Office Depot had one for like $169 -- I don't recall the brand, but I have one in my office and it's fantastic. It has 6-way tilt, the mechanism itself weighs like 15lbs (!!!) It was the only chair they had marked "heavy use." All the others were for light/medium duty and were more "plush." The longer you sit in the chair the more firm you want it to be. Make sure it has lumbar support.
