mesh chairs look nice, but they scratch very easily

the most important thing i look for in an office chair is whether or not it's high back (full neck support) and if the back rest leans back, as well as the back rest + seat

i got mine at staples for 99.99 (clearance from 279.99), sooooo comfy watching stuff with my foot on my table, not to mention it comes with 3 years warranty on the backrest

it's discountinued tho

herman miller aeron dethroned. embody costs twice as much at 1600USD.
ive tried the aeron at work, and i have to say its worth every penny of its 6-700USD pricetag.
im looking for a super comfortable computer chair right now but the aeron is a little out of my range especially with our bad dollar. hard to put a price on comfort tho, especially if you have a bad back like me.

The Aeron is the apotheosis of ergonomic seating, conceived to conform not only to different human shapes and weights but also to movement. The breakthrough Kinemat® tilt enables the Aeron to smoothly move with the sitter from a forward tilt (when you reach for the phone) to a backward recline (while you contemplate what to say). The Pellicle® web upholstery is yet another innovation both in concept and comfort. It evenly distributes weight over the seat and back and permits air circulation. As for durability, it will look like new long after you retire. Design doesn't get more civilized. The Aeron is made from 66% recycled materials."
my work uses the exact same looking chairs except it ain't chrome.

cushion type is the best at work...your fart will be trapped in the cushion and won't spread around. Once it smells really bad, just swap it with your co-workers

I got my previous gen Costco Leather for $149 when it went on sale. comfy leather nothing beats it. I swear it's better than the current $130 one in Costco.

It's something like this...

I have the older one then that new gen from cosco but I've had it for over a year now and the back padding is still tight as the day I got it, the ass might be kinda loose but that'll happen with alot of use
