Poll: Computer / Home office chair

[SinNisTeR]

I'm looking into a new chair, but I think I may want to go Armless this time. Just seeing what everyone uses.

I have a leather with arms, but I hate how it hits the edge of the table and ruins it. I'm thinking of going with some ergo chair with short stubby arms or something. If it's remotely warm then the chair makes me sweat, so maybe a fabric or mesh one.

If you're going to spend any amount of time sitting in this chair, I recommend you check around with some of the real office furniture stores in your area to see if they'll let you rent/lease a chair for a week or so. IME, you can't get a good idea of whether the chair is going to be comfortable just by sitting in it for a few seconds at Office Depot. Same goes for arms vs no arms, fabric vs leather, etc. IMO, your display and your chair should be the two most expensive parts of your home office. Don't skimp here.

Get the cheapest you can find with arms, probably fabric.

Hey, where's the Pellicle mesh option for us Aeron owners????

Weight has a lot to do with it too. It's hard to find a good quality chair that is comfortable and light enough not to be hard to move around in. Arms are a definate must for me.

Got this chair through a Hot Deal. Very nice chair, especially when it's on sale.
