If you live near any tech companies, watch for when they go out of business. A friend of mine bought one for $100 at auction when a local place folded.

Staples is actually having a sale on some of their chairs. I went with the Belmore Fabric chair for $49.99. Not really a fan of leather.

Gotta just go try them out. I got one for ~$50 at Target for my apartment at school. It's ok but generally for office type chairs you get what you pay for. Just try a few and see what you like.

Good suggestion! How do you find out about those auctions?

This chair is awesome (i don´t own one myself but one guy at my work have one, i am trying to come up with a good thieft plan) but a bit pricy, about $1200.

my dad is tough to shop for, this year we decided a new computer chair was in order since he spends a majority of his day in it. i found him a really nice sealy posturpedic memory foam chair at office max, it was like $190, but it's like being in a la-z-boy, haha.

I always had the regular chairs you always see behind a desk. But a while ago I bought a Skruvsta from Ikea. From all the computer chairs they had standing around there, this was a really good one.

It's very relaxed and has good support for your back. On the pictures it seems like your arms will slide off, but they don't; it's all good. Perfect for desk work, and it has a lever you can pull out so it'll lean back all the way; very good for watching tv, reading a book with your feet on the desk, etc. :) Oh yeah, and it's light and for $139.00 not that expensive for its kind.

Give it a try!

I don't know. I haven't bought a chair, I'm using the rocking chair that we've had in our house for a while. I put the two surround speakers for my PC on it, it's very relazing to sit in lol.

its all about the yoga ball for me!

I'm stuck with an uncomfortable office depot special. I guess you get what you pay for when it comes to chairs.

I'm looking to buy a better chair myself, being in front of the computer all day, but I can't afford a really good ergonomic chair yet. The Aeron is great, but I have found some other chairs in the same price range that I like better. Check out: http://www.my-officechairs.com/ergonomic_office_chairs/index.php

Get a nice comfy leather one or lay in bed :D

[Schtumple]

I'm looking into getting a proper leather chair and a proper maple wood desk.

My current chair is a cheapy £50 fake leather one from argos, it was comfy for the first few days, then the seating padding just disintegrated....

Plus the desk sucks... :p

Oh your lucky friend...

To save money I went with the Mirra. Makes me happy. :)

We have about 20 of these chairs in the office and only 7 of us. :D

I have that exact same chair, but in Blue. It is actually quite sturdy in my opinion... a good cushion makes all the difference. The height of the back is just right. We could do far worse I think! :D

I have the caper because I'm 15, which is amazingly comfy:

but when I get older and have a little more money to spend I'll definately get a mirra:

I got mine from room and board, link (http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/category.do?method=get&id=48).

My office chair is a cobra clubman car seat that I made fit my old chair base.

Very comfy to sit in and looks quite cool.

Yeah, I completely disagree. I have this chair as well and it's terrible. It's too low in the back, the rounded back and arms makes it hard to sit comfortably and the whole thing just seems very weak. The lever that you can pull out to lean back sometimes pops out by itself so when you're wanting to sit up straight- suddenly it will pop out and you'll go flying backwards. I'm also finding it very hot to sit in! I kid you not, my butt will sweat if I sit in it for a while. I've had mine for not even a full year- and it's already wearing out. It wobbles and it's uncomfortable and I just don't like it. I wouldn't recommend spending any money on this particular chair.
