What computer chair do you have please? Also does it still feel ok after sitting in it for however long you sit in it at one time? How long do you sit in it? Whats the longest you have sat in it?

I know I know but I don't think I can afford it. Plus I may not like it. Some people don't.
Yeah, it's pretty steep, but I think it's the perfect chair. Do you not have any place where you can check it out for yourself?

long back rests are the win. If your going to sit down might as well relax.

Yes but I have a feeling that may not completely tell the hold story because you really can't sit in a chair at a store for 1 hour + or even months lol.

Its just to boring.

Though I guess its best to get at least a little bit sneak preview rather than nothing at all.

That's my office chair. :thumbsup:

How long have you sat in it before? How long do you think you could?

Probably about 3 hours at a time. I could actually sit in it alot longer if needed I'm sure. It's a very nice chair. There rare tons of controls for different tension, angles, etc. Is this for an office?

No a home but I do sit in my computer chair for a long periods. For some reason to I like sitting upward more than very far back. That may be a issue with this chair. I like having support for my back, neck, and head too I believe so for the whole back of the chair to come forward or back I think I need.

I've sat in mine like 30hrs straight before. Before the Aeron, i use to get back and shoulders pain ALL the time... and serious shoulder pains, where i can barely turn my neck. Since i've gotten the Aeron, not a single time.

How do you sit please? My back sometimes hurts on the wood chair I am using now from the kitchen lol.

We left New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina hit but took all the stuff we could because we had 7 cats and 1 bird to fit in the van. A huge birdcage and 4 cat carries took a lot of room in the van hehe but we were able to let 3 of the cats just sit down in the van safely because they are very calm with road trips and good about. The only thing is sometimes one may get sick but thats not really a problem but anyway we were able to bring most of our important stuff with us like hard drives, a few pictures because we had to hurry, important papers, etc. Though we couldn't bring our chairs. Hurricane Katrina destoryed our chairs from the flood waters.

So shopping for a new computer chair but the one I had was from office depot and was like a $69.99 one but not leather. Though it was getting pretty old and the cats did a number on it. I liked it and it was pretty good but sometimes I wished my neck and head had support because the back of it wasn't very tall or it didn't have a head rest. Though when using my computer itself a lot of the time I would lead my whole self up including my back as I was using the keyboard and mouse. I would never lead back inless I was watching something.

I know its not the best out there but is it any good? Does anyone own it?
I used to have one. It's decent, but the cushion gets worn quickly. I like the high back for taking naps. Does Office Depot still sell the Russell Executive Mesh Chair? It's the $100 knock-off version of the Aeron--very good deal if you can find it.

Are you talking about this one? This one?

I think I sat in it because when I went to office depot today I remember the same $99.99 price tag the only thing I didn't like about it really is the back of the chair does move upright because I have a habit to sit upright all the time when using my pc. I think its a habit or maybe its my eyes I don't know. Though I do sit up a lot without even knowing it. As I type on my keyboard or use my mouse.

Another thing I don't like is no neck or head support :(
