    Office Chair Recommendations?

    I am looking for a nice desk chair for home. The one I have now sucks and I spend too much time in it to be using a crappy chair. I want something comfortable, with good back support. Anyone have any recommendations? I am willing to go up to 300-350 bucks for it, but wouldn't mind seeing other more expensive ones if you highly recommend them.

    Not a deal breaker, but I prefer no arms (or arms that can be dropped/pushed out of the way/removed), as I also use this chair when playing guitar, and chair arms tend to get in the way.

    I find the chairs here to be comfortable.

    Re: Office Chair Recommendations?

    Whenever I am looking for a chair I go to places like Staples and try them out. I have found that price has no relationship to comfort, nor does appearance have much to do with it. One guy who worked for me had a pretty crappy chair, so we went off to get him a better one. After trying out several chairs, we found one that had some pretty silly features (speakers in the back for immersive sound), but was otherwise pretty cheap, was more comfortable that far more expensive chairs. There's just too much personal preference in comfort to leave your chair choice to chance.

    I personally prefer the chairs with the mesh backing to them. they seem to flow into comfort more-so.

    After almost a year, I'm pretty sure kleinma bought a chair by now.

    I didn't even notice the dates. Still, a chair is not a decision one should make lightly.

    Maybe Microsoft has a Chair 365 product coming soon.

    You pay and pay and pay because you only rent it, and some features don't work work when you don't have an Internet connection.

    Despite the "hype" around it, it actually is a really nice chair.

    I knew that Wikipedia had cool and hip lists, but this thing blows it right out of the water: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chairs
    I'm printing and framing this. I guess I know what my wife is getting for Valentine's this year.
