Looking for a good cheap chair for my new computer desk

[BBock727]

Staples usually has some rediculus deals on chairs. I havnt found a great deal atm. If anyone knows of a good chair thats now prices less than <75$ please let me know!

Thanks!

When it comes to chairs for sitting on a long time good & cheap don't go together at all.

Check out OfficeMax. They had a chair for $40 that wasn't bad.

I am in the same hunt. Check at Staples .. you can get a good chair for under $200
If you buy too cheap a chair, it will get uncomfortable after long use .. it will wear
out the fabric easily, the tilt / swivel / casters will wear out .. a good one, bought once
should last you 10-15 years

I dunno how big you guys are that you would wear out an inexpensive chair in a short time heh heh, but I don't remotely in a million years think it's necessary to spend $100+ on anything unrelated to my PC's performance.

Very true. I learned this the hard way. I started with a $30 chair and it was worn out and breaking after 6 months of use and bought another for about the same price. Broke within the year. I finally purchased a chair for about $140 and its been with me for a good 2.5 years and still doing in great shape except for the expected wear and tear. My advice is to splurge for a quality chair and never have to deal with it again for another 5 yrs.

//edit And no, i'm not a fatty. I'm only 165lbs..

I value the comfort of my computing experience over the performance of my computer. I would rather have a nice chair, a nice monitor, nice speakers, etc if it meant that I had to have a slow 1Ghz computer.
