i spend 50+ hours a week (if not closer to 60 or 70) in this chair. its a piece of crap from staples that was about $40 on black friday 6 years ago.
i dont mind spending $500ish for quality and comfort (vs. spending it on just a name/brand)
anyone have any suggestions? steelcase leap looks like a great chair. ppl keep suggesting HM aeron but it doesnt look very supportive

Eames Time-Life chair:
eBay, Craigslist, retro/modern stores. Very comfortable.

If lumbar's a major need, the Aeron does take it VERY seriously.

i've spent jobs sitting in a herman miller aeron chair and mirra chair, the life chair from knoll, and the freedom chair from humanscale. the freedom chair was the one i ended up buying for myself. it adjusts automatically to your posture, the upholstery doesn't grab your clothing, and it's what jack bauer sits in at ctu when he is not busy fucking up the chinese terrorists.
i got mine for around $500. you can probably get a good deal if you google a bit as they usually sell for around $850 or so.

After years of debating, i finally bought an Aeron with posture-fit. I looked at so many other chairs from Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, etc. For the price, style/comfort, Aeron won me over. It's been about 2mo so far and I am loving it.

my wallet just cried a little

Aerons are the chairs I want to own too. I have 3 Engineering firms as clients, and all of their offices are decked out with Herman Miller *drool*

I have a shit chair from IKEA. considering how much I sit in it working at home, I should probably invest. At this point my back and neck are getting fried.

i was gonna go to IKEA on thurs to check the chairs out.. but everything on the website looks like the typical crap you can get at staples. silly me looking for quality @ ikea

Yep I can attest to the flaws in IKEA chairs. They feel great in the store and are affordable, but you get what you paid for I guess.

ikea chairs are for guests that you dont really like

In my office everyone has the same, mediocre chair. Except the whiny fat people who pretend they have back problems so they can get a nicer chair.
