Any recommendations?
Aeron chair is a bit too pricey but is it worth it?
I am looking at Chadwick Chair by Knoll, Mirra Chair by Herman Miller and Think Chair by Steelcase.

I like my mirra. Though I'm still not sure if it was worth the money.
- yeah, Mirra is relatively cheap compare to Aeron. but still pretty pricey.tkmeister
- A good chair is worth paying for.skwiotsmith

my two cents-
Aeron is worth every $. I sit in the Chadwick at work all day, not meant for a larger framed person (i'm 6'3, 195 lbs), but good for smaller -medium framed peeps.
Caper is a great chair, and priced well.
Mirra- testdrive it first, some people aren't keen on the plastic back.
ebay is your friend too.
(full disclosure: I design for the fellow who did both the Aeron and Chadwick, as well as the Equa 2 as not yet cited.)

Knoll Life Chair.
Fantastic.- I'll second that. Have also had the Aeron and the Knoll Life beats itjesterlou

When it comes to "too much $$$," think about it in relation to a car. How often do you sit in your passenger seat? Assuming you aren't living in your car, you rarely sit in it, yet depending on how hoop-d your car is, you probably paid 1-2K for it.
You sit on your ass all day long, probably every day if you're reading these posts, make your ass happy.

Been sitting in that Carper 40hrs/week for 3 years. It was fine for the first year, but started to get a little annoying/uncomfortable the second. Today, I want to throw it out the window. i need an Aeron.

the aeron is not worth it IMO.
I have it at my office and it's comfortable but honestly I think I'd do just as well with a chair that was half the price.
In my experience, a good chair is about the fit. It doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to fit you and your style comfortably.

I usually stand when I'm working. I have my computer set up on a high table, and I usually stand, or sometimes use a cool old red vinyl barstool.

I am 6' and 175lb. so i think i might be okay with a chadwick chair. I think he was also one of the designers who was involved in developing the Aeron chair.

yep, my thought was that over time, it loosened up and felt "cheap".

so what is the best chair you recommend for around $500? chadwick?
