Link worked OK for me. I picked up the fabric version that is offered (Item # 20412297) at the same price, and it's a pretty good chair for <$45 AR.

Just picked one up (leather) with Khypermedia 52x CDRW and Targus CD-Wallet. Comes down to $132.49 with $93 in rebates = $39.49. Nice deal, $40 chair and free CDRW & Wallet... =)

Hope the chair is nice though... Most of the chairs I tried at OfficeMax and Staples are too stiff!

Seen this chair in Office Depot and didn't like it. No support for the back at all. If you want to buy it, get to the store and sit in it for 5-10 minutes first, then consider buying... IMHO it's not worth the price unless you buy it for someone else.

Are these things made for midgets or something? I just got mine today. It advertises a head pillow, but really it is an upper back de-comfortizer. It sticks right into your upper back if you are at least average height (I am 6'). The seat cushion is also rather short. I would recommend buying it if you are small, as it would probably be pretty comfortable, but if you are tall, get something else.

I have that chair and it's the absolute worst POS I've ever sat in. My dad bought it for me thinking it was a great deal. You hit it right on the spot with the de-comfortizer. Plus, the seat surface started fatiguing and cracking within the first week. I'm not heavy either, only like 150 pounds. After one month of use, there is now a nice big gaping hole in the seat and I can see the dark gray foam cushioning underneath easily.

Actually, I am more pleased with this chair now. It does provde excellent support, but the head pillow just really isn't a head pillow. I sort of like it better than my other OMAX chair, because it puts me in a more upright position better suited for gaming. The armrests are a bit lower than my other one, so they actually line up with my keyboard/mouse tray so I can rest my arms on thme while using the mouse. They seat is also a lot narrower which is good for me cuz I am quite skinny (140lbs at 6'). It seems the "leather" isn't too poor quality; I don't see any problems with it cracking or anything in the future. Bottom line is if you're short, it will be very comfy but if you're tall, hold back for another deal.
