Computer Chair

[destrekor]

Alright, so I need a new computer chair. The last cheap one from Office Max finally broke, and I want another one. Preferably another cheap one, because I am broke. Some day in the future I'll get a real nice one that might last a real long time, but I just want one to at least lack a couple years at the moment.

Looking to not spend more than $100, and the closer to $50 the more I'll be happy. With that in mind, yes I know that won't be me luxury or super-awesome spine support.

But, anyone have any good things to say for a chair that I could use from OfficeMax or OfficeDepot?
Wheels, pneumatic lift, and if possible, the ability for the back of the chair to lean back. And some good back support (as the last chair may have been giving my back major fits, time to see if it really was the chair). If it has a lumbar-support specifically, great, but in generally just looking for a seat that my back won't cry foul over.

At OfficeMax, I like the way those Flux I and Flux II chairs look, but... who knows.

Flux 2 looks similar to something I bought 10 or so years ago. The chair I had came from either officemax or officedepot as a similar special. It held together nicely, the only issue was the padding in the seat was done after a year or so. Otherwise decent.

What you might do is look for nearby offices that are selling their old stuff. At least in my office, they stick to trying to buy ergonomic high quality chairs (upwards of a few hundred bucks or more). Buying an old used one of those would probably last longer than an OD or OM special.

It's not cheap but way worth it IMO.

also don't forget craigslist... i bought an awesome leather executive chair.. super comfy. I bought it from a guy in the Dominion - probably the most exclusive area in san antonio (home to George Strait, David Robinson et al) for about 150..

Eh, so I got a high-back one from Costco. They didn't have the chair they had at costco.com, which is one I really wanted, but after a day with this chair, no complaints.

My next chair, as long as this one lasts a decent while, will definitely be on of those pricey super-awesome chairs.
