Need Your Opinion: Cheap mesh task chair

[polm]

I am looking to spend around 50$ on a new computer chair.

What about THIS CHAIR from OfficeMax ?

Don't. It will fall apart in about a year. The one I had met the garbage truck this morning. If you want to go cheap on a chair, check around for local used office furniture places. You can get a hell of a deal on a really durable high quality office chair. Don't waste your money on OfficeMax garbage.

You're quite welcome. Look around here in your state for places that sell used stuff. I recently bought a $500 Herman Miller chair for $250 used. It's a whopping six months old in excellent condition. You can get some killer deals going used.

I second the "don't buy OfficeMax, Office Depot, or Staples" advice. I've been wanting an Aeron for a long time now but I couldn't justify the cost. Well, I've gone through two $120 chairs in the past two years. The Aeron chair has a 7year warranty.. I think it would have been financially a better decision to go with the Aeron.

My bro - don't get me started on him. He hasn't had a chair last him for more than 6 months. (He's 275lbs so he murders chairs.)
