and where can I buy it? :p

I'm using a standard office chair on wheels and it's ok, but lately, after a long day of running around at work, I've been thinking about buying something that'd be a little more comfortable.

my ideal would be a plush armchair with wheels, but I haven't seen any in any of the stores I've looked in.

I use an Aeron, but that doesn't meet your requirements. I'm very happy with it though. I used to have intense back pain, and now I have none. I think this is mostly because the Aeron's back and seat can move independently, which a lot of chairs don't do (certainly there are many others that do though).

Do you have a Costco membership? They have some really nice looking/feeling plush chairs for reasonable prices. Are you looking for leather or fabric? Their nicer chairs are all leather.

I could get one :) I'd pref leather, but my biggest challenge at the moment is that wherever I go, it needs to be a place that delivers (I own a small car and have no means of getting or borrowing a larger car, since all my friends own small cars as well)

Got it for $90 assembled at Staples. I've got an Altima, not exactly a small car, but it isn't a Yukon either. I just flipped the chair upside down, with the bottom of the chair facing up and the back facing the front of the car, and plopped it on my passenger seat. I had to roll down the window because the legs/casters/wheels/whatever kept spinning around and whacking the window; it got annoying after a mile or two :p.

i picked up a new one from Staples a couple weeks ago for at home. around $100 and more comfortable than the pricier ones they had. I believe it is called a "task chair". the model I bought has a mesh back, quite comfortable. they had some $300 + posturepedic model that i wanted to splurge on but maybe in a few years.

at work, i have a regular office chair... kinda blows but apparently they are bringing in new ones TODAY. that will at least keep me awake here.

it is amazing how much of my life i spend in those 2 chairs, especially in the winter 0_0

Do you drive a Ford Festiva? If you have a car bigger than a Festiva, you could probably buy most chairs that come unassembled. They usually come in boxes that are about 1 ft thick and a few feet wide in each of the other directions. Not all chairs though. Mine came in a huge cube box because it was all assembled except the back.

I've got a hatchback.

anything that comes apart can probably be made to fit inside, but I don't have a roof rack (and the weather sucks), so I couldn't, say, drive to a store, buy a plush armchair, and take it home myself.
