Need good cheap computer chair

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 06:35 PM

I need to get a good cheap computer chair from somewhere like Staples or Office Max. I don't really have any requirements, just that it has arms and a good lock on the tilt feature so it doesn't fly back at any point.

I had one of those aueron chairs (the ones with netting on the back and bottom, I probably have the name completely wrong) at work a few years ago, but I know those are serious bank.

If anyone knows other places to get chairs too that would help. I'd like to spend less then $150 if possible, but I'd sort of like a chair which will last me a long time too.

Ebay?

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 06:37 PM

Yea, but I'd still like an idea of a good chair.

I actually haven't had a "computer" chair in years. I just find a regular comfortable chair at Ikea or something. I don't need armrests since I'm usually typing or using the mouse, and I've never needed a chair with wheels at home.

good and cheap don't normally go together. Ebay is going to be your best bet to combine both criteria.

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:11 PM

Okay, but any ideas what chairs I should look at?

This one is pretty comfy and a big status symbol too.

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:18 PM

Yea, that's the one I had at work, it rocked, I'll have to find a cheap one somewhere. Thanks.

CalcVictim · 06-23-2005, 07:18 PM

search for steelcase, those are dirt cheap and we have them at my job.
here is a cheap one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:23 PM

So I looked at eBay for the aeron...yea, that's way out of my price range.

Wow, if shipping wasn't 100 bucks it wouldn't be such a bad deal, although still somewhat out of my price range.

My chair. It kicks ass. Only chair that has proper lumbar and lateral support.

Now that thing looks comfy!

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:36 PM

Crap, I'll have to look at that tomorrow after work, that's a good deal.

Search on eBay showed 500-700.

Aerons are overrated. I really like my chair. Really really like it. You can't beat $80 too.

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:40 PM

I don't really think so, I just think for what I can pay its overpriced. I loved it when I worked at this office supply company, but I'm not spending 2 months rent on a chair.

twotacosfor99cents · 06-23-2005, 07:41 PM

I sat in an Aeron for 4 years. They're overrated.

StuBeck · 06-23-2005, 07:45 PM

I sat in one for 3 months, I don't believe they're overrated.

pityr · 06-23-2005, 07:56 PM

If you have any kind of back injury they are not overrated.

Christoff · 06-24-2005, 12:35 AM

Bump for nightcrew...

I need a new chair as well

plunk10 · 06-24-2005, 12:51 AM

I just bought a manager's chair at staples. I'll dig for the receipt tomorrow to find the exact model. It was $50 marked down from $120 I think. Leather managers chair.

plunk10 prefers the "fly back at any point" tilt feature, but it can be turned off

twotacosfor99cents · 06-24-2005, 01:12 AM

my chair is reclined all the way to the bumpstop 98% of the time.. i'm a recliner as well..

stryfewrx · 06-24-2005, 02:19 AM

I 2nd staples, they have a lot of deals, sometimes 50% off and the chairs are pretty good.
