Looking for a decent computer chair

[Jadow]

I've got the 300 dollar Office Depot knock off of the Aeron, have had it for years and it's been a great chair.

edit same one linked in Laros' post

I got lucky at Office Max two weeks ago (perfect timing because my old chair broke).

Got a $160 high backed office chair with good padding that is really comfortable for $67.50 on sale. About what all those cheap chairs are worth anyway, but I'm happy with it.

oh its EliteRetard..

The chair in your photo is like $1500.. nice troll

Bought a pair of them for $300.
Got a 10yr old who literally jumps in them and flops all over the foot rest.
They've held up for 3yrs so far.

Exactly. These chairs are such a con.

If they were so good BMW and Mercs would be using them in their $70K cars since they are sooooo good at long sitting times. Oh wait, they aren't, they have plush leather seats with dense and supportive cushions.

There is a difference between immediate comfort and ergonomics. A plushy leather chair feels great, but my back is going to hurt after sitting in one for 8 hours a day. An Aeron isn't as immedately comfortable, but my back won't hurt at the end of the day.

If I drove a Lexus for 8 hours, I'm sure my back would hurt.

So you're one of those people who thinks this:

Is better than this:

I'll take properly designed support over hollow mesh and flat foam any day.

I just buy good shoes so I don't need shitty insoles

 

[EliteRetard]

Exactly, and I buy good chairs that are a great value.

Hollow nonsupporting mesh for the same price as a high quality ergonomic leather recliner?
WTBBQ?!

 

[EliteRetard]

And it's not just the back, a quality ergonomic recliner can take the weight off your ass as well. I get proper support from my neck all the way down to my legs.

So you're one of those people who thinks this:

I'm a guy that spent 10 years with back and shoulder pain until he got a mesh back chair. Even the most comfortable plush chairs left me with back pain at the end of the day.

Leather not found

And just because you got a deal on some used chairs doesn't mean everyone can.

Obviously they weren't very comfortable if they made you hurt.

I know how that goes, neck and shoulder pain...and just looking at those mesh chairs makes my spine crawl. Yes I have tried sitting in several types of string/strap/mesh chairs.

Looks don't really mean much.. some of the worst looking chairs are the most comfortable.

 

[EliteRetard]

Looks don't really mean much...

I'll agree with that.
